Sweet ... Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe this year I can attend. What was the cost last year for the tickets so this way I have an estimate of the price involved here.

*Runs off to couch to look for lost change ......

Cairenn 03-25-10 03:50 PM

If I recall correctly, the entrance ticket* was $125.00 USD.

*ie just the ticket to get into BlizzCon itself, not food, souvenirs, transportation and accommodations, etc.

I wish I could come but I'm only 15 :( My parents won't let me go to America.

A return trip is only $980'ish from here. Haven't looked at accommodations yet.
