They should be available, at least, up to the convention. 

I'll need to check on if they are available after the event, as I don't have an answer to that for this year, but I believe you could purchase them after previously.

They're actually pretty unique, it's awesome! I know they use the engineering skeleton, but they're still awesome.

Hi! Longtime read, first time poster here!

I'm thinking of buying a VTicket. I'll  never get to Blizzcon so this is the next best thing!

The question I have is do I have to watch on my computer? Or can I watch on my TV via my Android box?

 

Thanks!

I don't like the Alliance airships, but the Horde zeppelin is just so good, except I don't really play Horde (and never been able to get into it.)

Can't really justify spending $40 on something like this right now, so I guess I'll just have to miss out on it. :p

I'm not sure how an Android box works (never used one before), but I have only heard bad things in the past while trying to use things like Chromecast etc. There's loads of syncing issues etc. apparently.

      Blizzard just announced there will be no in-person BlizzCon this year.
      If you've planned on attending BlizzCon 2024, we've got bad news for you. The event will not be held this year. Here's what Blizzard had to say about its cancelation:
      (Source)
      After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.
      Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more details about our launches coming later this year, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these upcoming releases and to bring our communities together in new and special ways, we will soon share some exciting plans for other industry trade shows and conventions like Gamescom. We can’t wait to tell you more about those plans soon. We’re also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series’ stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. And we’re thrilled to be planning multiple, global, in-person events to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft, which will be held in addition to the in-game celebrations across our Warcraft games throughout 2024. While these events are distinct from BlizzCon, we’re harnessing all of our creativity and imagination to ensure that they carry the same spirit of celebration and togetherness. 
      Our hope is that these experiences – alongside several live-streamed industry events where we’ll keep you up to date with what’s happening in our game universes – will capture the essence of what makes the Blizzard community so special.
      No matter how you choose to connect with us at these events this year – whether it be in person or virtually – we can’t wait to see you there!

      We're 2 hours away from this year's opening ceremony at BlizzCon and the community is already guessing what will be announced today, so we're taking a look at some bingo cards for the event!
      Bingo Card 1
      The first bingo card talks about Thrall, Metzen, and of course "Storm" in the expansion name. Interestingly, it mentions Path of the Titans, a feature that was planned for Cataclysm but ultimately abandoned.

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 2
      The second bingo card includes guesses like Dragonriding everywhere, WoW on game pass, and more.

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 3
      The third bingo card boldly mentions a new expansion for Diablo 4! 

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 4
      The fourth bingo card includes guesses like Cataclysm Classic, Classic+, no Patch 10.3, and more.
