BlizzCon is an exciting event for every Blizzard Entertainment fan because it puts them right in the front seat as the publisher makes big announcements about their current lineup of games and the future of their pipeline. One of the best things about attending, however, is getting the Goody Bag.
2016 is particularly a special year for BlizzCon because it will mark the event's 10th year, as well as Blizzard's 25th anniversary. This year, the Goody Bag has been renamed to Goody Bag in a Box because of its new packaging. GameSpot got its hand on the giveaway ahead of the convention in November, giving everyone a look at what BlizzCon ticket holders will get.
There's a BlizzCon X commemorative stein, for starters.
A World of Warcraft faction coaster
A Hearthstone microfiber cleaning cloth
A Diablo III gaming dice set
And Overwatch's Reinhardt's inflatable Rocket Hammer
The Goody Bag in a Box also includes a StarCraft II Baby Overlord antenna topper and a Heroes of the Storm E.T.C. guitar pick keychain.
All physical ticket holders to BlizzCon 2016 will receive their Goody Bag in a Box when they pick up their badges starting Nov. 3. They may also purchase one extra Goody Bag as long as supplies are still available.
Those with virtual tickets to the event may also pre-purchase a Goody Bag in a Box. However, only one Goody Bag may be bought for every Battle.net account as supplies are limited.
Each Goody Bag in a Box is available for $35, excluding tax, shipping and other applicable fees. BlizzCon ticket holders can make pre-purchases via the Blizzard Gear Store. Those buying are reminded that the Goody Bags will ship from the United States. International orders will be accepted but not all countries may be eligible to participate. Battle.net account holders can check out the Blizzard Gear Store for information on eligible regions.
According to Blizzard, the Goody Bags will ship on or before Nov. 4 and orders from Battle.net accounts without corresponding BlizzCon tickets, virtual or physical, will be canceled.
An exact schedule for the event has not been released but so far BlizzCon 2016 will see movie, art, costume and talent contests, as well as a benefit dinner for the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Ticket holders are reminded to check out guidelines prior to the event for their safety and convenience.
BlizzCon 2016 will be held on Nov. 4 and 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.
