Reminder: BlizzCon tickets need final names by 5pm PDT today

We want to take a moment to remind folks that today at 5:00 p.m. PDT / 8:00 p.m. EDT is the last possible moment you have to change the names on your BlizzCon tickets.
The person who bought the tickets will receive a separate email for each ticket (sometime in the future) that will contain a barcode that must be printed off and presented with a valid photo ID at the time the tickets are picked up. That ID must match the name on the ticket, no exceptions.
If you do not enter names on each ticket by 5 p.m. PDT today, the tickets will be put in the name of the person who purchased them (via the Battle.net account). That person will then have to pick up the tickets and distribute them accordingly. The only time IDs will be checked is upon ticket pick up, not upon entering the venue.
Some folks at WoW.com have bought tickets for friends, and we all went around and made sure the names were exactly right last night. You should do the same!
In order to change the names on your tickets, log into your account management page over at https://us.battle.net/account/management/ and go to your order history. There, you'll see the BlizzCon ticket purchase, which you can click and be presented with the tickets and name change options.
WoW.com will be there in force this year, we have right now over 10 people going, so it'll be a blast for sure. We're planning our Thursday night reader meet up, and will have extensive coverage throughout the convention right here!

ZOMG! FIRSTIES!
Meanwhile...
Yay for WoW.com reminding me to not be a noobtard myself and to log into my Battle.net account and update my info!! I bought my ticket right before work and didn't have time to do it then. Would've *sucked* to end up paying all that cash for nada!
I did see they asked for toon & realm... I wonder what's the chances of personalized name tags? Like with the toons on em? With my luck, they will, and they'll catch me on a fishing daily or farming, and I'll show up to BlizzCon with my Warlock on my badge in a floppy old fishing hat and carrying the cheapo pole...

Let me guess, they're charging us $10 to change names here, too? /joke

I managed to snag three tickets on the 30th, anticipating a couple friends I could bring.
I couldn't believe how much trouble I had finding those two. Nobody could give me a straight answer and it was like pulling teeth. I had to enter my own information for all three tickets. I really really hope I don't end up getting on that plane by myself because this is seriously depressing.
