The final wave of tickets for Blizzard’s Warcraft 30th Anniversary event in London has officially sold out, and just like the previous rounds, it happened in mere seconds. Frustrated fans are voicing their concerns over the ticketing system, with many questioning whether bots or scalpers are to blame.
Ticketing Chaos Continues
Despite Blizzard offering tickets across multiple waves, fans encountered the same issues each time – instant sellouts, site crashes, and tickets magically disappearing from carts!
Reddit user OneDayOutOfTime shared their experience:
“I was refreshing every second from 14:59:50. It changed from “available soon” to “sold out” instantly, without any in-between.”

Were Bots Involved?
Speculation is running wild that bots may have played a role in the rapid sellout. lt5urge pointed out that Blizzard could’ve used a lottery-based system instead of a first-come, first-served method.
