Yes folks, it's that time of the year again. The precious few seconds where you cast your virtual die and hope beyond hope that you're a special enough snowflake to get a BlizzCon ticket.

The basic facts:

• Tickets go on sale at 10:00 p.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. PDT sharp.
• Tickets are $150/each. You can purchase a max of 5 per household.
• Buy your tickets at the Blizzard store.
• Tips for buying your tickets.
• Complain about how expensive tickets are, how rogues are over powered, and how Ghostcrawler has no choice but to walk out on a horse swinging a sword like a general over in our open thread.
