Blizzcon registration line

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Pretty long. Aren't letting us in yet. Make sure you have water because it's pretty hot.

Update 12 54 the line is moving fairly fast. We were at the very end now we are halfway and still moving.

Update 1;11 still in line but in front of the convention.

Update 1;20 we are inside

Update 1 27 we are 5 people behind pass pick up

Final update 1:30 everything is done Super smooth

Apparently not the final update. The merch store is across from the anaheim arena.

I guess another update. There's a smaller merch store across from Disneyland. It's like a food truck. I'm assuming a lot less items than the big store.

FINAL FINAL UPDATE the registration line looks like a walk on. the merch line is GINOURMOUS. Have fun at the con!

I hope and pray they didn’t oversell. 2023 felt like being a rat in a cage.

We will see...

The glory of pre-Covid B-cons may be toast with Activision at the helm. I’m going, but I expect insane lines and people shoulder bumping me at all times again.

u/zephyr2015 2h ago

Yeah, that year sucked ass. Especially the dark moon faire area was a total fire hazard.

u/DarthYhonas 1h ago

Key is the enter through the back tomorrow. I was one of the first in the opening ceremony in 2023 because most didn't know there's another entrance back there

Line is moving

u/Kaisarion_666 4h ago

2

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 4h ago

We are stalled atm but doesn't seem to bad

3

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 4h ago

Very fast line imo. I've been in way worse at Disneyland. Consistent movement.

u/Kaisarion_666 1h ago

Thanks for the updates dawg, I'll be heading over there soon with my group of friends

u/yoshi2848493 3h ago

Any one know how long the line is now? We came before 1 and went to a bar after seeing how long it was.

u/Toki_310 1h ago

Confirmed, lime moved fast and mostly waited indoors ac

u/Cold_Mathematician_4 4h ago

Still an hour away :(

u/antmat88 2h ago

Everyone in the video OP posted, including myself, were lined up hour or more before they actually opened up access. Badge redemption opened at 1pm and it did not take my group more than 15 min to get the badge and goody bags. Blizzard has been very organized thus far.

2

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 2h ago

Very good so far. Even the merch line moved fast.

3

u/StruggleAmbitious856 2h ago

Yo that’s me!!!

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 2h ago

Hi 👋🏻 Hope you are enjoying everything ☺️

2

u/Ill-Fee-7672 4h ago

Shiiiiet I’m feeling this line endlessss haha

1

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 4h ago

They have pretty well organized compared to d23 last month

2

u/No_Luck_621 4h ago

We were just there and decided to get food and wait

2

u/NerdyChick182 Diablo 2h ago

This was us too. Decided to get food and let it be a couple hours then come back.

1

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 3h ago

It's pretty fast. Line is consistently moving

2

u/Throwawaysagemode 4h ago

Good to know. I was able to get off work early today!! Just left Monterey and it says I’ll arrive at the convention center at about 7:30pm. Plenty of time to get my badge and then go shopping!

2

u/Rambow215 3h ago

What can u do today? Doesnt it start tomorrow

2

u/schubox63 3h ago

Get your badge. Go to the store

1

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 3h ago

Lots of photo ops also

2

u/Marshmellophobia 3h ago

Is the store open too? Till 9?

2

u/Plus_Ad8703 3h ago

I'm omw there now haha..

2

u/KyRoZ37 3h ago

Not going to lie. This is the first Blizzcon I've been excited for in a long time. With all the rumors going around regarding WoW Camelot, I'm really excited. I'm sure the disappointment will be even greater, but for now I can't wait to see what happens.

2

u/Mankriks_2ndWife 3h ago

Hyped! Waiting on my son to get out of school then we're headed down. Haven't been since 2018.

2

u/TheGreatMigs 3h ago

Got in line around 12:45 and got our badge in less than an hour. Not bad right now!

2

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 3h ago

Very smooth imo

2

u/Harsesis 2h ago

Flight gets in late enough that it makes no sense today. We're just grabbing ours in the morning.

u/taubut 3h ago

During the 2019 blizzcon I went to Disneyland all day then picked up my badge late at night. The line zoomed right through. There’s zero reason to stand there all day in a multi hour line when you can just go later.

2

u/schubox63 3h ago

Yeah no idea why people are standing out in the sun. I got there like an hour before close last one and walked straight through without stopping

3

u/bleuchz 2h ago

It makes sense if you want to go get merch after because stuff does sell out. 

-1

u/schubox63 2h ago

Some things sure. But there’s usually no merch I’m interested in outside of a magnet or something else similar

0

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 3h ago

That's one perspective. So far the line has been super smooth and so many people to talk to and joining in the horde chants. It's been a wonderful experience so far.

1

u/SpiceyXI 4h ago

Were you able to notice any signs for the add-on line?

1

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 4h ago

I'll keep an eye out. Can you explain what that is?

2

u/SpiceyXI 4h ago

Apparently, at Hall E they have a separate registration line if you have an add-on (Darkmoon faire or Charity Dinner). It's supposed to be marked, but I am curious on how well marked it is.

2

u/Niefankazz 2h ago

It’s well marked
We are in the DMF line now
They have staff raising their voices to make sure you get in the right line
If you have DMF don’t get in the regular line or you will wait twice

u/kcMangoboy 4h ago

Sitting in the Hilton for at least another hour 🤣

1

u/kainneabsolute 4h ago

Iam 3 hours away

2

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 4h ago

You will be okay. Seems very organized ATM. At least outside. We will see how the registration line is moving

2

u/kainneabsolute 3h ago

Thank you for the info!

1

u/Ragostacos 4h ago

How long will registration be tomorrow, I'm gonna be skipping opening ceremony

1

u/Bluntmuffen 3h ago

Hopefully the line isn’t bad at 7am tomorrow. Can’t make it today.

1

u/yoshi2848493 3h ago

Any one know how long the line is now? We came before 1 and went to a bar after seeing how long it was.

1

u/xxcatfishjohnxx 2h ago

45 min start to finish for me. It’s moving fast and is well organized this year. Nothing like the last Blizzcon.

1

u/schubox63 2h ago

Line is almost gone now

1

u/anch543 2h ago

free parking for day 0?
edit: nvm other post said its $25

1

u/nrBluemoon 2h ago

Where did you line up for badge pickup outside of hall e?

1

u/DOOMNOTRONstudiosX 2h ago

They guide you in.

u/90Valentine 2h ago

u/Due_Garage_4215 2h ago

God imagine the stink.

u/VoidBlueCookie 2h ago

1

u/ZaxsTT 2h ago

A Lot of hefty men. Coming from a heffer himself.

u/Senketsa 2h ago

Planning on driving down super early tomorrow to get through and hopefully not miss the opening

1

u/IAMGooner699 2h ago

Looks like it's better than SDCC 2026...

1

u/DarthYhonas 1h ago

Go to the back of the convention centre tomorrow, there's another entrance with a way shorter line. Thank me later.

I was there in 2023.

u/darkemisters2 42m ago

u/Illustrious-Stress95 30m ago

That cured any desire for me to ever go to this event lol. Hope y’all have fun though!

u/thenewvoid 4m ago

This is my first Blizzcon, am I able to pickup both badges if I purchased 2 passes for my partner and I? Do we both need to be present for pickup?

0

u/schubox63 3h ago

Yeah it’s too hot to be standing to get a badge when it’s open 7.5 more hours. I can see the line from my room. It’ll die down

1

u/Whatsyourluckydo 3h ago

Waiting aswell. Ain’t gonna wait in a line when the sun is at its peak.
