so i have the app and logged in but it says i dont have any upcoming events to go to. meaning no blizzcon ticket for 2019? sucks. and i tried calling axs help department. they are pretty useless and they are telling me it should appear a week before the event.
Are they sold out?
I seem to recall them selling them in waves on certain days some time ago.
i got them on may 4th. but it does not show on my app that i have the tickets. i checked my credit card and it was charged. they even sent me an email for the virtual tickets but no actual e-tickets for the event.
Their website says the same thing you say the support rep said, there can be a delay but the ticket will appear at least a week before the event. We are still well outside of a week before the event.
alrighty. cross my fingers
Once you get your tickets and enter the event, i suggest uninstalling the app.
Here’s why, and continue using it with caution:

I detest that this app is required for Blizzcon. When I contacted AXS myself, they said that as far as THEY were concerned you do NOT need to use the app to access your ticket. The ticket is tied to your credit card number. It is Blizzard requiring you to use the app.
Needing to download this garbage to my phone has definitely pushed me over into this being the last Blizzcon I’ll attend. It’s not the only reason, but a big one in my mind. At the risk of sounding old, “kids today” might have no problem signing away all their privacy for a cup of coffee, but I do have a problem with it.
I’m still damn tempted to bring my still-working flip phone and tell them that’s all I have.

They don’t require it, but it will streamline the entry process.
If you don’t have a smart phone, or your phone is having connectivity issues, they can check you in manually. This will of course be slower than scanning a QR code on your phone.
As far as privacy concerns, if you have a smartphone you likely signed away far more than that already.
Also if you do business with virtual any corporation or bank or whatever, they have probably sold your info to anyone willing to pay.
What did we ever do back in the days of phone books, when everyone’s name, phone number, and address were listed in a book that was dropped on your doorstep twice a year?
Good thing they’ve mostly gotten rid of them; it was like Mad Max crossed with a Black Mirror episode around most of the world, what with everyone’s personal information being public like that. Criminals just looking up random names in the book, calling to see if anyone was home, then coming by with malicious intent on their mind.
I kid, of course, and I get that things like your bank account numbers and social security number and driver’s license number should remain secret. But this hyper-paranoia that exists over “someone” out there knowing who you are and how to contact you (and the fact that you use Colgate, not Crest) is just a tad overboard, given that we did live through the past without everyone being individually murdered during a home invasion.
You know, because of the public names and addresses? I’m amazed we all survived.
