BlizzCon 2017 Virtual Tickets are are coming back this year

BlizzCon 2017 is going to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on November 3 and 4 and just like every year, the physical tickets have all sold out already. However, it doesn’t mean that you will miss the actions, as the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket is coming back this year. What is even better is the fact that Blizzard is adding more content to the package, without charging anything extra. You can purchase the virtual ticket for $40.

This year’s Virtual Ticket includes access to every single BlizzCon stage, not just a selected few, as was the case in the previous years. The streams are going to include developer panels, community contests, art demonstrations, question-and-answer sessions, the closing ceremony and much more. The opening ceremony and BlizzCon’s eSports events are free for everyone.

People, who buy BlizzCon 2017’s Virtual Ticket, will also gain access to the BlizzCon All Access Channel, which, according to Blizzard, gives viewers a “guided tour through the whole convention.” This includes “behind-the-scenes action and areas like the Darkmoon Faire and Hearthstone Tavern, in-depth interviews with developers, community personalities, pro players, casters, and more.”

“BlizzCon is a huge community event for us. We almost think of it as the biggest thank you, we can give to the best gaming community in the world,” said Blizzard head of community development Saralyn Smith in an interview. “Increasingly, our community is experiencing BlizzCon online. Year over year, we’re having more people tune in virtually, so naturally, we’ve been thinking about how we bring more and more of BlizzCon to than virtual audience.”

While speaking about the price increase, Smith said this won’t be the case. “We wanted to add value this year, so the price is the same as when we originally launched the Virtual Ticket,” Smith explained.
