Blizzard Entertainment has announced that tickets for its fifth BlizzCon gaming convention will go on sale in two batches on Wednesday, June 2 and Saturday, June 5, 2010.

The event will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on October 22 and 23. Live coverage will be available as a DIRECTV Pay Per View package and as a multi-channel Internet stream, allowing viewers online to switch between coverage of multiple panels and activities during the show.

“BlizzCon is a unique opportunity for our players to meet one another, strengthen the friendships they’ve formed online, and have a great time celebrating a shared passion for gaming together with Blizzard employees,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “For those who can’t attend, we’re pleased to be providing an unprecedented level of access to the activities and attractions that BlizzCon has to offer.”

Tickets to the convention will be priced at 150 USD each and will be available for purchase from the official BlizzCon website at blizzard.com. Tickets will be released in two separate batches on June 2 at 7pm Pacific time and on June 5 at 10am Pacific time. Those interested in attending can simplify the purchase process by registering a Battle.net account before ticket sales begin.

Gamers around the world will also have the option to purchase the Pay Per View event as a multi-channel Internet stream priced at 39.95 USD. Those who order the event will also receive this year’s BlizzCon-exclusive World of Warcraft in-game item, to be revealed at a later date.
