The BlizzCon Virtual Ticket has been announced for 2019!
- BlizzCon 2019 starts on November 1 and ends on November 3
- Tickets are $49.99 USD ($64.99 CAD)
- The pricing is the same as last year. You can buy a ticket here.
- We don't know when the rewards will be available in Hearthstone. Card Back is likely coming before the card.
Hearthstone players are going to be getting a Legendary Card and a commemorative card back for purchasing a virtual or physical BlizzCon ticket. The legendary card appears to be specific and not random, which means this may be another Marin the Fox scenario where ticket purchasers get a golden version for free and other players to receive a normal one. That is not yet confirmed though, just a bit of speculation.

$50 for a random mysterious golden legendary ?
I'll pass
That's a different rarity gem on the golden legendary than we're used to. I wonder if it means anything? Or maybe it's just like that to make it seem shinier.
Not worth the price imo, especially with how awful blizzcon was last year and the issues they had with VODs. If they ever came out with a virtual ticket packages where you can select which in game rewards you'd like and the price adjusted for how many you've selected then maybe I'll be interested again.
Not a thing for D3? Not very surprised but still a bit sad.
do you need to buy a virtual ticket if you already have the attending ticket for the goods?
You'll get the rewards if you have a physical ticket. I think physical ticket holders even get VOD access for watching panels they missed after the con.
This year has blessed us with free legendaries so far: both Archmage Vargoth and SN1P-SN4P are definitely playable and really good. I'm really excited to see what will be the next one.
It has been a really good year for Hearthstone! I keep hearing its only going to get better and so far, that has held true. The game is in some amazing hands now, it's just a shame it took so long for it to happen. Now if only we could reduce the amount of money everyone needed to spend on it to get full enjoyment / feel competitive. That is going to be one of their biggest hurdles.
fully agree. It's great that they try out stuff, even if they have to revert it from time to time. That way there's always something happening, and change it what keeps it interesting.
Especially if it's not a new set that we have to buy / farm for.
The card-back is nice, but the Overwatch SWEAT in me (1000+ hours) wants those skins SO BAD.
I haven't played Overwatch in a hot minute and definitely suck at Genji but damn... that is such an unfair skin! It makes me wish Heroes of the Storm wasn't such a C-tier game.
I really hope we get some amazing Overwatch announcements at this year's BlizzCon. The rumor is some kind of large expansion or "Overwatch 2" so if its anywhere near that big it should be exciting. I'd love to play the game again, even if just for a month or two, but there hasn't been anything that has given me the desire to do so. There are too many good games out there to play these days, including Borderlands 3 which I am nowhere near finished and need to find some more time to sink into it.
Everything looks really nice. People that buys this will definitelly get something good wichever game they play.
Hope the golden legendary is indeed more of a Marin the Fox thing than an ETC.
Edit: Yet is out
Yeah, as someone who plays all of Blizzard's titles, though some definitely not very often, the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket always excites me. Honestly though, I'd drop $50 on it just for the WoW cosmetics this time around because HELL YES I WANT TO BE A YETI!
That's a NICE card back. Nowhere near "$50 nice", but for people who were buying the ticket anyways know that I'm jealous of you getting it :)
Cardback is neat.
Looks like a further possible hint to a real Dragon expansion.
The WoW transmog outfit is the most exciting thing for me. I hope the Hearthstone card is at least super fun.
Illidan Genji looks cursed
"YOU ARE NOT HEALING!"
I must admit, I was not prepared..!
Carrier has arrived!
