This page will be updated with the latest BlizzCon ticket status. Please post your experiences, and be sure to let us know if you run into any problems. Older updates will be listed after the break.
Big Update: Play the failocalypse game from Blizzard!
1:25 p.m. EDT: Sold out.
1:22 p.m. EDT: 11% of the tickets are now left.
1:18 p.m. EDT: Queue is over 20,000 now.
1:09 p.m. EDT: If you get sent back to the main store page, just go back to the ticket page. You shouldn't lose your spot in the queue. It's all based on cookies. So don't close your browser!
1:05 p.m. EDT: Ticket sale stock started at 50%, we're assuming that's 50% of total sales, not just today's. Very confusing though.
1:00 p.m. EDT: Tickets on sale. Queue is already above 10,000.
12:45 p.m. EDT: Blizzard store page is redirecting to ticket queue page now.
12:00 p.m. EDT: Armory taken down to ensure web servers works.

Are you serious? No comments on a blizzcon counter? Sheesh. Fine then. Any guess how many tickets Blizz actually put up for sale this year total?
Sean May 30th 2009 12:58PM
Camping BlizzCon and Blink-182 tix, both go on sale at same time.. should be interesting.
Roger May 30th 2009 1:02PM
Position 12,207 - 3 hours left - 48% of stock gone.....I don't think I'll be going

Less than one minute in (got in at exactly 10 PDT), and I'm 12375 in the que... there is something amiss here...
Matazuma May 30th 2009 1:02PM
8300th in Q and only 49% of tickets left.
On the 16th I was 7000th and I didn't get tickets.
I guess no blizzcon this year.
Supert5 May 30th 2009 1:04PM
wtf i was 551 then i got put in blizzard store homepage with no tickets omg...
Jamison Banks May 30th 2009 1:03PM
Dude. Knocked out of que directly to the Blizzard store, 'your cart is empty' TWICE in 30 seconds. 9000+ que. 45% left. NOT cool.
Roger May 30th 2009 1:07PM
Same thing happened to me, so asked for 3 tickets again and it still had me in the queue for my original request.
Also looks like the 4x% is the remainder of ALL tickets for the con, not just those being sold today.
Still don't matter, will be missing out for another year :(
BigB May 30th 2009 1:03PM
i'm so pissed i've been refreshing once a second for 10 minutes and i just got in queue at 5000 with 54% stock already gone!
This is such BS.
austonst May 30th 2009 1:14PM
yeah, same here. It took me literally 2 seconds to get in the queue from 10:00, yet somehow I'm still 6k in line? I highly doubt 6 thousand people all got in in less than 2 seconds...
ttvp May 30th 2009 1:04PM
Position 3100, with 40 minutes left. I'm not optimistic but we'll see
Zancorr May 30th 2009 1:05PM
So - me and a buddy in vent refreshed at the same time - I went straight to purchase, he is 2500 in line and it is telling him 49% of stock left. This was right when the clock switched to 10...
BigB May 30th 2009 1:05PM
WTF i just got knocked out of the store too! went back and still 5K in line with 42% left this way to get tickets sucks so bad
Dawn May 30th 2009 1:07PM
Oi... how can I be spamming refresh til I get a purchase option from 9:58 on and be 9500 in queue?
qq at queue.....
The Drake May 30th 2009 7:26PM
Arg...I was already in que at 1100 less than 1 second clicking . Even camping all morning on 3 broadband connections..refreshing 4 times a second. I think something is up with blizz store server. I figure to handle the load they have several stores handling que musta got on a slower one....
