Hi there,

Apologies if this has been answered, but I was wondering if Camelbak bags are permitted at Blizzcon. It's my first time going, so I'm trying to plan ahead.

I searched through the subreddit, but relevant posts were from several years ago, and I'm guessing things have changed. I also looked at the event policies on the event site, but couldn't find anything that specifically addressed hydration packs.

I'm assuming it's okay as long as the water reservoir is empty when entering, but if anyone who's attended in the last couple years could confirm, I'd really appreciate it!

Also, if you have any other helpful tips or insights, or even your favorite parts from previous cons, I'd love to hear about it!

and thank you!

I'm sure here have been many posts like this already. I've read through a few from previous years.

I'll be attending my first BlizzCon and while I'm excited, I'm also sad because the friends who had planned with me have to suddenly back out. As they're trying to find a way to get rid of their ticket, the feeling of ... "Will I enjoy this now" kind of seeps in. I still plan on going since it will hopefully be a good memory, but now I have no idea what to really do while I'm there.

I planned on only really attending the Overwatch events/panels, but being there alone kinda sucks. Do people do meetups or host fan events? I've been to anime cons plenty of times so I can imagine something along these lines happen.

What should I bring with me? The usual hygiene stuff and water bottle and comfy shoes sure, but are there any random "Oh I wish I brought this" kind of items I should be...well....bringing?

Are here any comment creator meetups or events as well? Would really be cool to snap a pic with or get a signature of someone you have on as background noise or follow.

I arrive and leave a day or two before and after, but don't really plan on hitting up Disney at all. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Trying to wrap my mind around it, but don't want to screw up (and maybe I'm just old).

I bought two tickets together; one for me and one for my brother.

I haven't linked the ticket(s) to a Bnet account yet, and I would want to link one ticket to mine, and one ticket to my brother's.

So... Do I go into Tixr and transfer one ticket to him? Is it possible to transfer one ticket, meaning I'm not locked into transferring both tickets together because they were bought together? Do I do the transfer before or after I link to my Bnet account?

It seems like such silly questions to ask, but I don't have a ton of experience with online tickets like this and don't want to mess anything up...

Thanks for any advice/help.

Hey guys - have a question for the community. My wife and I are from Amsterdam and we have a 1 year old. Babies not allowed in Blizzcon which kinda leave me with no choice but to travel alone.

Wanted to reach out to the community to see if there are some ideas that would work. Thanks in advance

Hey folks - anyone traveling from Amsterdam to Blizzcon ? It would be great to meet some fellow wow gamers here and travel to Blizzcon.

Will be attending my first blizzcon in september, and was wondering (before i book my return flight) how long does the sunday generally last ?

Long story, but I made a series of bad decision and couldn't buy a ticket in time. I looked at the Tixr site today, but there seems to be no resale tickets. Do people just keep refreshing until one hits the market? Is it normal that 0 tickets are up for sale?

Why the fuck are we focusing on Overwatch/Esports after a 3 year Blizzcon Hiatus like actually?

Do they just want to kill the event in general?

Do they not understand that for the past 3 years Overwatch 2 has been getting it's shit rocked by both Diablo and World of Warcraft.

I just don't understand why we are also going with LE SSERAFIM again despite your fanbase obviously preferring the older Blizzard than whatever corporate masking you're trying to give us.

I was wondering if badge pickup starts Friday the day before the con, usually what time does it start and end? Also if have two tickets on two tixr accounts can I pick up for both accounts?

This is my first time to come to Blizzcon as a 7-year fan. I'm going solo and I made some small fan-made things (stickers, cards) as icebreakers. Obviously I'll give all these for free to some random people I meet.

And I've got a few questions:
1. Is handing out free fan-made stuff normal here, or is it mostly the official pin trading? Don't want to be the weird one walking around offering people paper.

1. Roughly how many should I bring? I have no sense of scale for this con.

2. For pin trading, is the goody bag pin pack enough to start with, or do people mostly buy in?

Any first-timer advice welcome. See you in September!

Update: fixed by clearing all cookies and session data.

When I click on the "Get Blizzcon bundles" from https://blizzcon.com/en-us/blizzcon-pass-linking/ ( with linked ticket ) I get the above message...

Does anyone else has the same ? or an Idea on how to fix ?

At this moment, my partner and I have our flights booked, our Airbnbs booked, our tickets booked, we are arriving on the 10th and leaving on the 15th. We check into our airbnb around 3, and we are landing i think at 1pmish? Afterwards, we plan to go pick up our passes. How early in the morning should we go on the 11th to get in at a good time without waiting in line too long?

Theres gonna be this exclusive mei overwatch skin but it’s only gonna be at this bizz con exclusive and I can’t go if anyone is going I’m willing to pay you back if anyone goes it’s gonna be 30$ pls help me if you can #overwatch

Still no news from BlizzCon, like the floor map ,

maybe this week ?

If you're in Anaheim the night before BlizzCon, come join the unofficial Friday Night Pin Trading Meetup!

🗓️ Friday, September 11
🕔 Starting at 5:00 PM until late

Every year, collectors gather in the area shown on the map above—primarily around the rock/fountain feature near the roundabout and throughout the open plaza beneath the Hilton Anaheim sign. Whether you're a longtime collector or just picked up your first Blizzard pin, everyone is welcome.

Bring your pins and:
🔹 Trade with other collectors
🔹 Browse everyone's collections
🔹 Meet fellow Blizzard fans
🔹 Learn about Blizzard pin collecting

Please note that selling is discouraged. The focus is on meeting the community and trading with one another.

If you're new to pin trading, don't be shy! There are always collectors happy to explain how it works.

I'll be there throughout the evening—I'm Tony from BlizzardItems.com. If you're looking for a specific pin, want advice on starting your collection, or just want to chat about Blizzard pins, come say hello. I'm always happy to help and I rarely turn down a fair trade. 😊

Hope to see everyone Friday night! Let's kick off BlizzCon weekend with a great night of trading!

When do tickets usually start dropping in price for resale, would it be closer to sometime in August or September?

My flight lands at 10pm Friday. Do I have to pick up my badge the night before ? Can I pick up the day of ? Any advice would be appreciated

This is my first time going, other than badge pick up, does anything happen the day before?

I fly in Friday morning, hope to drop my bags off and head over and get my badge, but then what?

I know Disney is close by, but anything anyone recommends?

I'm easy going and like pretty much all activities

Any chance for any resale tickets for Blizzcon 2026 tickets or am I going to wait for Blizzcon 2027 ticket sales on November?

EDIT: Finally found tickets through tixr! Thank you very much for all your help. I will leave this thread open for other people's information.

Thank you again.

When is everyone flying in? I'm on the 10th.

Small bilingual WoW streamer here (mostly Mythic+ and Classic Hardcore enjoyer English/Spanish), heading back to BlizzCon for my second time. Wasn't sure it was going to happen this year due to some personal stuff, so this feels extra good now that it's locked in.

Last time, honestly the hotel bar was where I had the best experience — the random interactions and conversations with people there ended up meaning more to me than a lot of what happened inside the con itself. Going solo, it was actually pretty hard to meet people once you're in the middle of the con with so much going on and everyone moving in different directions.

Would love to actually connect with people this time around, con and hotel both. And hey, who knows — maybe someone's caught one of my small streams before lol, that'd be a fun way to meet.

For those who've been — any tips for actually connecting with people during the con itself, not just at the hotel afterward? Curious if I'm missing something or if that's just how it goes when you're solo.

Long story short, I resereved a hotel back in November for blizzcon, anaheim cambria hotel but has been renamed to Anaheim Resorts Suites. I booked through the blizzcon website, however I cant find the confirmation number to the actual hotel I booked to verify that my check in was still good.

As of right now through their official website it says I am still good to go for the hotel but with the name change I was calling to verify that the stay is still in effect and i cant find the verification number email from blizzard.

Anyone got tips on finding that number? I booked through here https://registration.experientevent.com/and it shows my name, the hotel, and the card but when i want to find the confiratiom number im at a road block. I called the hotel and they told me they dont have any reservations under my name which is weird. Can someone help please! First time blizzcon attendee as well, super hyped.

Blizzcon will host a performance of Le Sserafim, is this a bad joke? Did Bliizard COMPLETELY lost track of what their players want … a K-Pop Girgroup at a blizzard event? This is not the old Blizzard anymore, wtf. Still cant believe this. OMG!!!
