Gamers will be able to enjoy the full fun of BlizzCon from the confinements of their own chairs. The virtual ticket which allows gamers access to all the convention panels, contests such as the costume contest and also exclusive interviews, has just gone on sale for $39.99.

People who purchase the virtual ticket will also receive a BlizzCon 2011 exclusive in-game vanity pet.

This is great if you haven’t been able to secure a ticket. You can watch the convention for as long as you want and you can even rewind and catch up on the bits you missed so the $39.99 price tag is well worth it.
