Forged in the Barrens Pre-Release pack opening

I was going over the Blizzard site and I was not able to find any information about potentially opening your pack early like what was previously offered (https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23557138/open-madness-at-the-darkmoon-faire-packs-at-home-at-your-own-pre-release-fireside-gathering)
With the last expansion, as long as you were able to "host" a Fireside gathering at your house on your WiFi, you were able to open your packs. I've not seen anything posted about Forged in the Barrens. Does anyone have a spoiler for it?

I saw an article about the pre-release on Battle.net and attempted to open my packs early too. After googling my issue I found out that it starts on the Thirtieth. I have always opened my packs early but I do not remember the pre-release being this late. Could just be a selective bias, or whatever though.
Your face is already dead
That will super bum me, and a number of other people out as well, if they have to wait to do a pre-release for the day before. That seem so stupid
It starts the 30th. Everything else is behind schedule -- why not that?
I do have related question! If I open Rogue packs from Book of Heroes during the early opening, can they contain Barrens cards?
I'll probably wait anyway, just to be safe.
In the middle of this Post Blizzard announces:
Private pre-release Fireside Gatherings will take place the weekend before Forged in the Barrens goes live, March 26 at 10:00 a.m. PT – March 29 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
So it is like every expansion the weekend before the release.
This has got me wondering if I create a taven or fireside for my house if I can open my packs then instead of having to wait for the day before. This ultimately is the reason why I wanted to know if anyone else knew.
@Sakyo, thanks for that intel. I created my fireside for Saturday so that I can take advantage of it.
@FortyDust, I don't know. I've heard both sides of the argument with this one. One side stated that once the pack is issued to the player that the card are "pre-determined". The other side stated that it will go off of the current standard meta available. If it were the latter, I think that would be awesome to keep your class packs and open them when a new expansion comes around.
