Virtual tickets to BlizzCon 2016 at Anaheim, California, are now available to buy priced $39.99, Blizzard has announced.
BlizzCon 2016 takes place November 4 and 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center, but the Virtual Ticket makes it possible for fans from all over the world to tune into live HD coverage of the show on two online channels.
“It’s incredible to think that we’re getting ready for our tenth BlizzCon,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We can’t wait to celebrate this epic milestone – and Blizzard’s 25-year anniversary – together with everyone joining us in person and watching from home with the Virtual Ticket. We’ll have more live games than ever at this year’s show, and we look forward to sharing our newest content, celebrating our players’ creativity, and witnessing some incredible esports competition this November.”
The $39.99 Virtual Ticket provides access to both days and includes:
Developer Panels – Get a first look at the latest developments in World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch – all live from the main and panel stages.
