More BlizzCon tickets are going on sale in July

With the predictability of the rising sun, both batches of tickets to the 2017 edition of BlizzCon sold out very quickly. But this year, Blizzard is expanding the party into a new hall at the Anaheim Convention Center, and so it's putting a third batch of tickets on sale in July. 

Everything about round three of BlizzCon ticket sales will be the same as the first two: They'll be available from universe.com, and will go for $199 each plus applicable taxes. That gets you a BlizzCon Badge providing on-site access to the two-day event, a BlizzCon "Goody Bag," and also a Virtual Ticket, so you can watch online and catch up with bits you might have missed via on-demand replays. 

The third batch of BlizzCon 2017 ticket sales will go on the block at 7 pm PT on July 5. If timing or expense prevents you from attending in person, you can also go for a standalone Virtual Ticket, which aren't actually on sale yet but in previous years have gone for $40 each. 

This year's BlizzCon is scheduled to run November 3-4. Learn more about what's on this year's slate at blizzcon.com.
