Blizzard has announced the sale of BlizzCon 2014 Virtual Tickets, providing customers with a premium view of everything that’s in store for the upcoming convention, which takes place this November.
BlizzCon 2014 is set to run from November 7 and 8 in Anaheim, California. It may be a little too far for most fans of the company’s games to comfortably travel to, assuming they even manage to get tickets, so Blizzard has prepared Virtual Tickets for fans to enjoy the proceedings from the comfort of their home.
Blizzard is set to broadcast highlights from the show for free in HD on the BlizzCon website, but there’s a better option available for anyone who’s willing to spend a little extra on a Virtual Ticket.
Here’s what’s in store with the program:
- Developer Panels & Exclusive Interviews: Get the latest World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm news straight from the developers, and witness all of the epic moments as they happen live from the Main and Panel stages. In between, dig deeper into your favorite games in exclusive one-on-one interviews with Blizzard Entertainment designers, artists, and producers.
- Community Contests – Hosted by Chris Hardwick: Witness the spectacle of the legendary BlizzCon Costume Contest and Talent Contest. This year’s festivities will be emceed by stand-up comedian and podcaster Chris Hardwick (aka @nerdist on Twitter), host of Comedy Central’s late night Internet-spelunking game show @midnight and creative head of geek-minded media network Nerdist Industries.
- Closing Ceremony: Behold the closing festivities, capping off two full days of Blizzard gaming and eSports action—more details to be announced later.
- On-Demand Replays: Rewatch epic moments with the Virtual Ticket’s DVR functionality, and catch content you might have missed for up to two weeks after the show’s over.
- Epic Bonus Loot: Unlock this year’s commemorative BlizzCon in-game goodies for World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm (details coming soon). The Virtual Ticket also grants early access to this year’s online BlizzCon merchandise sale, which will run from October 18 through November 12 and feature a selection of commemorative items that will be available for purchase at the show.
