Yes I still need 2 tickets.
This was newly posted, but I was unable to create a Blizzard (store) account before the deadline because of traffic. If anyone here gets a Blizzcon lottery notification providing a chance for tickets, I would appreciate you helping me out on this one. Seriously.
Statement from Mike Morhaime08/13/08 Blizzard Gamers,
On behalf of everyone at Blizzard, I want to apologize for the challenges and frustrations you experienced while trying to purchase BlizzCon tickets on Monday and Tuesday. BlizzCon is about the positive experiences you all have had with Blizzard games. As a result of this week's events, the excitement that many of you felt about the show has turned into dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Due to these circumstances, we've reevaluated our convention hall space and come up with some solutions that will allow us to offer 3,000 more tickets for sale. We know this will not be enough to satisfy the very high level of demand for tickets this year, but we want to ensure that BlizzCon remains a great experience for those of you who are able to attend. To avoid the issues many of you faced this week, we'll be selling these 3,000 via a lottery. We'll post further details once our plans are finalized. Please note that the lottery will only be open to those with an active Blizzard Account as of 9:00 PM PDT on August 12, the time that the “Sold Out” notice was posted.
I, and everyone else at Blizzard, share the frustration and disappointment that many of you have expressed as a result of this process. We'll do what it takes to avoid this type of situation in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike Morhaime
As you can see, I desire 2 tickets to Blizzcon 2008 which is now sold out.

Apparently this was the first year Blizzard has had difficulties with their website/traffic to obtain tickets from their online store. This was problematic, causing many people to not obtain tickets just like myself.
Im not exactly sure, but it appears that the purchaser/credit card holder is the only ones who can claim the tickets because Blizzard prints your character name/realm on all of the tickets. Which may even mean they are non-transferrable?
If YOU or anyone you know has 2 tickets or 2 extras, please do me a favor and contact me immediately. I can PM you my Cell phone number and other contact information.
Help a fellow Halcyon Affinity/guild member out if you are able. Just as I would do the same for any of you.
Thank you.
