Tickets to BlizzCon 2013 are sold out. But, thanks to the magic of the Internet, you'll be able to partake in the festivities from the comfort of your keyboard. And isn't that what being a Blizzard fan is all about?

With the BlizzCon 'Virtual Ticket,' you'll be able to access live HD streams of the convention, taking place on November 8th and 9th. You'll be able to watch developer panels, interviews, the costume contest, and the closing ceremony.

Of course, there's loot for you to grab as well. The Virtual Ticket includes access to exclusive in-game items for World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, and Hearthstone. You'll also get access to a limited-time online sale of commemorative items to prove you were virtually there!

The Virtual Ticket is $40 and can be purchased here. Additionally, DirecTV customers will be able to watch the event via Pay Per View for $50 (which includes access to all other Virtual Ticket goodies as well). However, if you're feeling thrifty, there's still free stuff to stream. You'll be able to watch coverage of the BlizzCon opening ceremony and this year's BlizzCon eSports tournaments for free on the official World Championship Series website.

        It may. It says something about including Hearthstone stuff.

          Probably just an exclusive legendary card like they're giving out for using the beta store.

        Considering the big raid in WoW that was just released, they may talk another expansion for that, too. Or maybe the final big raid for MoP.

            Ah ok. I haven't played since the beginning of Cata, so I had no idea other than it had been released. :)

                I know, I've heard! I just don't have the time for it right now, sadly. The in-game cinematics are incredible now, too. I saw the ending cinematic for the Org raid and thought they looked pretty great.

        WoW expansion for sure. They just released the last raid for Mists of Pandaria so the next expansion should be 6-12 months away and a first reveal at this BlizzCon seems appropriate. Probably SC2 expansion as well. Maybe a Hearthstone release date?

        Blizzard Dota, probably.

        WoW, D3, and SC2 are all due for expansions....that's enough right there.

      Awesome! I wish it should include the Diablo 3 expansion pack for rare item in games.
