Blizzcon tickets on sale May 16, to be streamed online.

For two days at the end of the summer in August, the usually sunny Anaheim California will morph into a Blizzard of epic proportions.‚  No, not an actual blizzard, rather all things Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo will descend upon the city for the fourth annual Blizzcon festival held at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Tickets for the show go on sale May 16 priced at $125 USD.‚  No word on whether or not WoW gold is an accepted method of payment.

Blizzard kindly reminds the faithful ticket-seekers to register with Battle.net before May 16 in order to simplify the ticket purchasing process.

Can’t make it to the show? Not a problem.‚  The event, for the first time ever will be available online as streaming content at the price point of $39.95.‚  What’s more, DIRECTV owners can purchase the pay-per-view event at the same price point and have both the television and internet stream available at no additional charge.‚  And anyone forking over precious moolah to the video game giant will receive an undisclosed WoW in-game item.‚  Better not be the Swine Flu sickness.

Where would we be without Blizzard?‚  Don’t answer that-it’s a scary and impossible thought to even conjure.
