If you were a part of the mad dash to get Blizzcon tickets this year, you’ll know that Blizzard set up two dates to sell their stock. That last day was today, and with ticket sales starting at 10AM PST, they were completely gone 27 minutes later, with about 27,500+ people still left in queue. Some eBay scalpers are already listing Buy-It-Now prices of $800 each and above for the originally $150 per person tickets.

Blizzcon draws thousands of people to Anaheim, California every year, where players of games set in the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo universes converge and become some of the first to hear about news and changes about their favorite games. The convention is so popular that they now Pay-Per-View the event on DirectTV.

This year the two-day event will be October 22 and 23 at the Anaheim Convention Center, and features the standard Developer Q&A, player/developer meet-and-greets, hands-on gameplay before anyone else and tournaments (both casual and competitive). It’s also a popular place to meet other players you’ve come across online. Actor and comedian Jay Mohr will be hosting the event for his third year in a row, due to popular demand.

If you were able to score a ticket, I will try to be happy for you. If not, I’m hosting a support group in my basement with a donation jar for the Pay-Per-View.
