One significant difference between QuakeCon and its peers is the price of admission. QuakeCon's a free event, open to everyone (though those under 18 must have proof of parental consent). BlizzCon and Fan Fair both carry ticket fees. BlizzCon, which will be held in Oct. 28-29 in Anaheim, CA, costs $125 per person (after handling fees). Fan Faire, held in June in Las Vegas, runs its attendees $120 and higher. Blizzard expects up to 6,500 guests at BlizzCon, thanks in large part to the staggering worldwide success of "World of Warcraft". Over 3.5 million people pay $12.99-$14.99 per month to play the game. In addition to the opportunity to chat with the makers of the game and attend a concert, attendees will be the first to see what's next for Blizzard. "We're going to be showing off a new product we haven't announced yet," said Wang. (And for those thinking it's the long-rumored unveiling of "Diablo 3" or "Starcraft 2," get ready for a letdown. Wang said the announcement will be linked to "World of Warcraft".)
