BlizzCon 2013 tickets go on sale in two batches on April 24 and 27

Blizzard Entertainment will be selling tickets for BlizzCon 2013 in two sets, one on April 24 and the other on April 27, the studio announced today.

The first batch will go on sale at 10 p.m. ET on April 24, and the second will be available at 1 p.m. ET on April 27. Tickets for the two-day convention, which is set for Nov. 8-9 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif., will be sold for $175.

Blizzard will also be selling a "limited number" of tickets — approximately 200 — to a pre-BlizzCon Benefit Dinner that will take place Nov. 7. Those tickets, which will cost $500 and include admission to BlizzCon, will go on sale at 10 p.m. ET on May 1, with proceeds going to the Children's Hospital of Orange County.

For those who miss out on tickets, Blizzard will be offering a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket through which fans can watch the entire convention on a multi-channel livestream. Details about the Virtual Ticket will be revealed at a later date.

Blizzard fans can head to the BlizzCon ticket website right now and start refreshing from today until April 24.
