Last week Blizzard announced that it would hold a lottery to sell the remaining 3,000 tickets for this October's Blizzcon 2008. Today the official Blizzcon web site revealed the details on how the lottery will take place. People much have had a Blizzard account before 9 pm PT on Tuesday, August 12 (when Blizzard announced that the first batch of tickets have sold out). You must also be an adult, have not already purchased tickets for Blizzcon 2008 and live in a long list of countries.

There will be an op-in period beginning later today and ending August 24 where people can enter an eligible Blizzard account to get a chance to purchase the $100 Blizzcon tickets. More detailed info on how all this will work can be found on the Blizzcon site (and yes, it's a tad confusing).
