If you're like me you could not get tickets to BlizzCon, then come grab a seat and have a steaming hot cup of 'misery loves company'. Blizzard's sale of tickets and the failing of their website to do just that are one of the company's most epic fails ever. This year BlizzCon could just drop the prefix Blizz and leave it at Con. Because that's what they've done to their fans and subscribers.
To say you did not know there would be a lot of traffic or that you don't have experience in selling tickets to a large event like this... well that might make sense if you were Funcom (points at today's Funcom story). However, if you're Blizzard then your excuses are limited to non-existent.
Now, a buddy of mine pointed out there were still a few handfuls of tickets here and there being released off and on. However, this doesn't really impress me and at this point I'm so annoyed with Blizzard that I could care less about going.
Originally, I was going to meet up with some friends who play the game and make a whole event out of it. When the DE-BACK-LE ('debacle' for those of you who haven't seen Trekies) occurred it left some of us with tickets, others without and the plans we all made dashed to hell.
I'd like to take a few moments now to flip the bird to Blizzard's e-commerce team and say that deeply and truly I hope you were all fired.
