“BlizzCon is a celebration for our entire community, including
those joining us from their homes around the world. With that in
mind, we’ve updated this year’s Virtual Ticket experience to cover
even more of the show—including expanding our live coverage to all
the stages,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard
Entertainment. “We’re excited to bring people closer to BlizzCon
than ever before, and we can’t wait for everyone at home and
attending in person to join us.”
The new BlizzCon All-Access channel will serve as the
official Virtual Ticket tour guide all weekend as hosts take
viewers around the show floor, behind the scenes, and deeper into
the games through exclusive interviews. For those who can't wait to
get started, the season of BlizzCon starts today at
www.blizzcon.com, where gamers can watch several series of
all-new videos, which will have new episodes
regularly in the weeks leading up to the convention. These videos
will cover subjects ranging from Blizzard music to cosplay to
behind-the-scenes insights from developers, and some of this
content will only be available to Virtual Ticket holders as a
special thank-you for their purchase.
In addition to the game developer discussions, main stage
events, community contests, and other great content that is a
mainstay of the BlizzCon experience, the enhanced Virtual Ticket

favorite Blizzard games, including World of Warcraft®

it easy for Virtual Ticket holders to catch all their favorite
moments live.
