Blizzard Gamers,
On behalf of everyone at Blizzard, I want to apologize for the challenges and frustrations you experienced while trying to purchase BlizzCon tickets on Monday and Tuesday. BlizzCon is about the positive experiences you all have had with Blizzard games. As a result of this week's events, the excitement that many of you felt about the show has turned into dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Due to these circumstances, we've reevaluated our convention hall space and come up with some solutions that will allow us to offer 3,000 more tickets for sale. We know this will not be enough to satisfy the very high level of demand for tickets this year, but we want to ensure that BlizzCon remains a great experience for those of you who are able to attend. To avoid the issues many of you faced this week, we'll be selling these 3,000 via a lottery. We'll post further details once our plans are finalized. Please note that the lottery will only be open to those with an active Blizzard Account as of 9:00 PM PDT on August 12, the time that the “Sold Out” notice was posted.
I, and everyone else at Blizzard, share the frustration and disappointment that many of you have expressed as a result of this process. We'll do what it takes to avoid this type of situation in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike Morhaime
Personalmente me agrada que el presidente de una compañia salga a dar explicaciones y disculpas sobre lo acontecido, cuando en España pasan cosas similares y nadie aparece o el responsable se lava las manos. Estas son esas pequeñas cosas que hacen grande a Blizzard, y de paso confirman la venta de 3.000 entradas mas, con lo que basicamente creemos que el espacio requerido para la Blizzcon08 va a ser mucho mas grande que en el evento de 2007; y si el año pasado eran dos pabellones gigantescos, pues si le añadimos un tercero puede ser ESPECTACULAR: mas PCs con demos, mas tiendas, mayor variedad de oferta de comida, ect..
Oye Mike, para la proxima por que no ponemos a la venta 20.000 entradas y batimos records??
