There is a new queue system for purchasing the tickets (essentially, a line to wait in with nifty status information on your spot), and they'll be available in two batches; one on May 16th (this Saturday) and one on May 30th, for $125.
There is not an exact on-sale time listed yet (e.g., if at midnight or during the day), but as DIII.net notes: "...it is on a weekend—so that everyone has a chance to be online at the moment they go on sale"...so it'll probably be sometime in the morning Pacific Coast Time---big concert events often go on sale around 11am, if that's any indication.
Check out the Ticket Info and FAQ for all the details, and also check out the Diablo III panels they have lined up already. I'd expect logicallyat least a new D3 class announcement, as well as playable D3 in some form and possibly new info regarding that Warcraft movie that's been in development a while now.
I attended the first two (missed last year's only because of $$$), and what a wonderful overall experience a Blizzcon is. It's not nearly as flamingly-nerdy a crowd as you'd imagine, so that in and of itself can be an eye-opener, and being able to play the games ahead of time and/or even games that are never released (Starcraft:Ghost, one of most fun games I've ever played) is just invaluable. It's a cool experience all-around, and this year's is even bigger than the previous ones. And of course, that beta key in the goodie bag is always nice ;) $125 is a steal given all the events, opportunities, comraderie, and gifts.
Hopefully, I'll see you there... ;)
