Each benefit ticket costs $500 and is limited to two per household. Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 28 at 10 a.m. Pacific time (1 p.m. Eastern). The ticket proceeds go to a wonderful cause, so if you love Blizzard and love helping people, this event is a great way to have fun while giving to a good cause. Also, from the people who I know who have gone to the benefit dinner in the past, everyone says it is an amazing and joyous time.
Before the BlizzCon festivities begin, we're inviting you to join us for an evening of good food and good conversation -- all for a good cause. Approximately 200 tickets to a special pre-BlizzCon dinner to benefit Children's Hospital of Orange County will be going on sale tomorrow, Saturday, May 28 at 10 a.m. PT. Keep your eye on the ticket sales page tomorrow for the chance to get yours. For more information on the BlizzCon Benefit Dinner, visit the official BlizzCon website at www.blizzcon.com.

A 200-person benefit dinner seems like a good time to auction the tickets off instead of selling them for a fixed price.

I went last year. there were WAY more than 200 people there.
Called up blizzard, this year its not a sure thing - its a queue also.
so if you want to go via charity dinner, queue up and good luck.

Even at 500 it is a better value than Ebay because it includes a Blizzcon Ticket.

Went last year, and it was great.
Met alot of the big guys and girls from Blizzard, and talked to alot of the other artisits and department leaders that dont get as much public knowledge as your Ghostcrawlers and Samwises.
The print was really cool and is from the original picture that the main poster for the year is based on (i.e The print from last year was the Deathwing/Kerrigan/Diablo picture used on all the Blizzon 2010 merch)
Price and donation wise. Your forgetting that it techincally doesnt cost Blizzard that much to make the goodie bag, and technically those 200 people are just another number onotop of the other 30k+ that the fire marshall needs to have an estimate on, so it doesnt actually cost $175 to Blizzard per person going to the dinner, and therefore, more of the $500 is likely to go to charity.

Well, that was frustrating. I went to the BlizzCon site to buy tickets for this, an they never activated the "On Sale May 28" button under the "Benefit Dinner Tickets" section. Instead, I guess they just assumed people would know to click on the "On Sale May 21 & 25" button under the "BlizzCon 2011 Tickets" section. Silly me, I should've known better, I guess.
More specifically, I should've come here and gotten the real link from this page instead. Ah, well.
To all of you who got tickets to this event, enjoy! I went last year, and it was a blast.

I've got 4 tickets, but now I can't go. I'm trying to sell them at face value, not make a profit. If you're interested, email me at geniusboy91@aol.com and I can prove to you I actually have them, etc.
