There will also be a wider range of options, as well as new activities for Blizzard fans.
There are three types of passes to BlizzCon 2019. The first is the BlizzCon Pass, which gives fans full general admission access, including access to the BlizzCon Pregame Festivities. Attendees with this pass will also get to-be-announced in-game items and this year’s BlizzCon collectible. This ticket costs $229.

As for this year’s commemorative collectible, fans get to choose between two statues — an Orc Grunt or a Human Footman. It should be noted that attendees need to make their decision during the ticket purchasing process.
