For me and the majority of my group, it was seamless and had no issues. We all got the tickets we needed. Likely the easiest transaction I’ve had buying BlizzCon tickets ever (and I’ve gone since 2008).

Same here. Super smooth. No problems. Got the tickets within 10 minutes of 10am PDT.

It was pretty smooth for my husband, tho he wasn’t lucky to get tickets. But me… that Robot test was glitchy af for me. I took several attempts for it to be satisfied I wasn’t a robot. Lol. Way too many. There were times it would ask you to find an item and none of the pictures had the items. Lol.
OMG!!! Maybe I am a robot! gasp! Got to be why!!! 
lol. Seriously, tho it was a weird glitch. Hopefully better luck next time. XD
Successful but not smooth.
Got to the end of the queue and no tickets, so try again, and again, and again…
After more tickets go back into the pool, I can get 2.
Put all my details in and press pay, whoops, CC denied.
Within seconds I get a text from CC asking if I made the purchase and after replying yes it all went through.
Very touch and go.
Experience was fair, but a little tense? Was feeling really worrisome when my progress bar guy was standing at 5% for a long time… then I joined the queue with Firefox (first joined it on Chrome) and despite joining a few min after, that progress guy ended up speeding through the queue and got me my tickets.
By the time I finished getting my tickets, the progress in Chrome was still at ~10%. While this process is arguably more fair, it should be far more bothersome to people to know that a user can join the queue minutes after them and actually get their tickets because the AXS system decided to put them in a better queue position.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were numerous bots this snagging tickets. It feels really awkward that AXS doesn’t require a person to log into an account first and then join the queue, let alone that joining the queue on different browsers (on both mobile and PC) is actually a better strategy than being honest and joining it on a single one.
do you remember if you had to pick which days you wanted to go, or is friday and sat both included in the ticket?
The ticket is for both days. There are no single day tickets.

This year was one of the smoothest ticket buying experiences out of them all. I thought that post covid pent up demand might prove chaotic to the ticket buying process but that didn’t seem to happen, good job AXS and Blizzard.
If you notify your cc company in advance that you’ll be making a large purchase, that can avoid these types of issues.
Before today I was just going to watch online. Then, I saw a new Blizzcon ticket round today. I had to download the AXS app, create an account, and test out the web page earlier this morning. The web page had an issue where it would not finish loading after login. So, my hopes were low that I would be able to get a ticket. I had to try for the tickets an hour after sales were open due to a work Teams chat that came up. Yes… I was able to get a ticket very easily. Booking the hotel and plane flight was easy too. I was expecting the hotels to be sold out.
10 hours later and tickets are still up for purchase!
If you still thinking about it there seems to be plenty left!
