General information about BlizzCon
BlizzCon first started in October of 2005, held at the Anaheim Convention Center where it has been held since. Some features included the announcements of release of new content for their franchises, previews of content for upcoming games, and Blizzard developer Q&A sessions.
Throughout the days are hands-on experience of new and existing games, various panels related to the multiple franchises, and judging of the contests being held – including costume and songwriting. The closing night has held a concert, previously The Offspring and Blizzard’s in-house band (whose members are employees) Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftan.
Everyone attending gets a “Goodie Bag”, which consists of various items related to the Blizzard Franchises. For example, at the 2005 BlizzCon, there was a code that could be exchanged for an in-game pet from World of Warcraft, which was a baby Murloc named ‘Murky’. As well, there have been passes to get in to the closed beta test of an upcoming Blizzard game – World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade from 2005, and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King for 2007.
Ticket prices for all years have been US$100 each, which include admission to both days of activities. All of the extras in the gift bag, concerts, panels, and contests are included in the price.
