Blizzcon Virtual Ticket goodies revealed
If you can't make it to Blizzcon this year, there's always the option of a Virtual Ticket. Costing $39.99, this gives you access to HD streams of almost everything that's taking place over the convention, including access to every single developer panel, most likely the best seats in the house. You'll also get interviews with designers, artists, and other creative people at Blizzard, as well as all the contests and the closing ceremony. There's also on-demand replays of every piece of content. To be completely honest, it's probably the best way to see all that Blizzcon has to offer -- if you're actually there there's no way you'd see it all! And you also get in-game goodies, which were announced on Warcraft's Facebook today with the image above. It looks like you'll be getting a banner for Diablo, as well as a Hearthstone minion, a Starcraft portrait, and, most importantly, an incredibly adorable Crusader Murloc pet! Look at that little guy, isn't he just the cutest thing? He looks like the murloc version of the new Crusader class introduced with Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, and I want him. I suspect that anyone who's actually attending the con will get all this, and more in the format of physical items!
BlizzCon 2011 ticket barcodes are being sent out now

Blizzard has begun to mail out tickets to its respective lucky purchasers, and that might mean you! You can print out your ticket and just sort of look at it for a month. You can even fashion a crude lanyard for it from yarn and macaroni. Be sure to check out the BlizzCon merchandise presale if you haven't yet, and of course, tune in for all of our BlizzCon coverage here at WoW Insider.

BlizzCon 48-hour presale delayed due to site issues
Blizzard is offering those who bought BlizzCon 2010 tickets, even DirecTV virtual tickets, the opportunity to buy exclusive BlizzCon merchandise online for 48 hours this weekend -- or at least they were supposed to, hours ago. Right now, the store is completely busted and no one is able to access the exclusive items. Blizzard is on the case, according to a forum post, but there's no ETA on when people will actually be able to make purchases. UPDATE: Blizzard has updated the original post saying that the sale will begin Sunday, Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. PST.
