On June 12th, Blizzard opened up registration for BlizzCon 2007 -- a convention for Blizzard fans. Within 24 hours, half of the tickets were gone, and by June 15th, they're all sold out. This two-day convention (one of which is a Friday) had $100 tickets (for the two days). Each ticketholder however gets a nice goodie bag, containing a murloc suit and a beta key for an upcoming game.
Considering that the fanbase for WoW is something on the order of 8 million worldwide, it doesn't surprise me that they've managed to sell out, but 3 days... wow. Expect to see the goodie bags on eBay shortly after BlizzCon.The beta key is probably for another expansion set for WoW or Starcraft II -- that's my guess anyways.
