Blizzcon 2011 Tickets & Information
Last years Blizzcon tickets sold out in under 30 minutes.
Not long after selling out the tickets appeared on ebay for over $500 per ticket. You need to be ready to purchase the tickets as soon as they go on sale if you are to stand a chance at getting them for a reasonable price.
First and foremost, I would like to stress that by signing up to our newsletter you will be notified well in advance of ticket sales.
Tickets cost $150 per ticket, and are purchased on the official Blizzard store. Once sold out the tickets tend to start appearing on ebay for over three times that amount.

Kessler discusses how entrepreneurs find the next big thing, and make it transformative. The era of easy money and easy jobs is officially over. Today, we’re all entrepreneurs, and the tides of change threaten to capsize anyone who plays it safe. Taking risks is the name of the game-but how can you tell a smart bet from a stupid gamble?
Andy Kessler has made a career out of seeing the future of business, as an analyst, investment banker, venture capitalist, and hedge fund manager. He evaluated the business potential of the likes of Steve Jobs and Michael Dell before they were Steve Jobs and Michael Dell. He has an eye for what is next.
Kessler explains how the world’s greatest entrepreneurs don’t just start successful companies-they overturn entire industries.
