I still can't believe Virtual Tickets to Blizzcon is a thing

It's better than the $49.99 that DirectTV users have to pay to watch the same stream and get the same items.
I've bought the virtual tickets in the past and as long as Blizzard has plenty of new stuff to show, it can be worth the purchase. The last blizzcon wasn't all that good and the stream was full of filler. This year we've got a possible new WoW expansion, Diablo expansion and probably new info about the last SC2 expansion.

CCP do something similar with their fanfest. There are full price tickets, to attend in person (which can be purchased using real world money, or via PLEX, which means if you have enough in game money, you can buy the ticket with that. Someone else pays real world money for the PLEX though, so they still make real money).
They offer the entire event streamed in SD for anyone to watch on their EVE TV service. You can also pay a single PLEX or $20 to get access to their HD stream, and get some goodies in game, like an event t-shirt, maybe a small ship with a special skin.
I like that you get the video for free, and then optionally pay for goodies and HD, and have paid for it once or twice. I don't mind supporting them.
I do think there is something a little wrong with actually locking content away from people who don't pay, and not letting them watch the announcements and the devs talk.

I must have. I started playing at launch but I haven't played in a long time. I don't remember pets with such ridiculous names and art like this. Certainly not during vanilla.
The sickest of burns. Well done.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I'd pay so much for that shit.

It's killing me not knowing what that HearthStone card is.
But that's A LOT better than a murloc with a sword and a shield, armor and a name to resemble Lancelot from the King Arthur stories...

It was supposedly leaked by a Chinese forum a few days ago (the same one that did all the Cata and MoP leaks before the reveal of either), it's supposed to be an Elite Tauren Chieftain.
Say hello to Grunty & Deathy!
Oh fuck. If it's that, I may need to purchase access after all .______.

They really should be streaming for free. Hell, I'd even be okay with ads if cost is really that much of an issue.
Still better than Path of Excel.
