    Before you attempt to purchase a ticket, we recommend that you contact your financial institution to discuss any possible restrictions which may prevent us from being able to authorize the card in question. It is important that any potential issues such as this are addressed ahead of time as you will only have 15 minutes to finalize the transaction after reaching checkout!

    Billing Availability - May 30th
---------------------------------------------------------------
    Blizzard's Billing & Account Services team will be open for special weekend hours on Saturday 5/30, between the hours of 9:00am and 6:00pm PDT.

    Our goal with these special hours is primarily to support BlizzCon ticket sales when they open on these days. While our support team is *not* able to place BlizzCon ticket orders directly over the phone (these must be done through the website), we will be able to assist with:

    • Answering general questions about the BlizzCon purchase process.

    • Battle.net account creation and login (necessary for users to place ticket orders)

    • Normal World of Warcraft account support

    The toll-free US number for Billing & Account Services is 1-800-592-5499. International and Latin American users should please visit our full Contact page ( http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20606 ) for international calling numbers.


    We look forward to assisting you!

Quick reminders:

  • Once you've selected a ticket total and entered our purchasing queue, this total may not be edited.

  • Several of our players have expressed concern with the fact that today’s ticket queue started at 50% stock rather than 100% as it did on May 16th. Please rest assured that the full allotment of tickets was placed on sale. The percentage displayed represents the total number of tickets available for BlizzCon 2009, not the percentage of tickets available for purchase today.

  • If you've any comments, concerns, questions, or feedback regarding our 2009 purchasing system, please do not hesitate to email blizzconsupport@blizzard.com.
