MINECON tickets are here!
In an effort to be fair to people who have jobs or school and those with different schedules, Mojang is releasing tickets in 3 batches to cover different days and times. Each batch is for 2500 tickets, and you can purchase up to 6 tickets in one order, to cover families or groups of friends traveling together.
THE RELEASE SCHEDULE IS:
- Ticket Batch 1 – Wednesday July 31 @ 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT
- Ticket Batch 2 – Friday August 2nd @ 7am PDT / 10am EDT
- Ticket Batch 3 – Saturday August 3rd @ 12pm PDT / 3pm EDT
When you book your tickets you can also book hotels at our special MINECON rates. We have a variety of hotels available with different prices and different distances from the Convention Center.
Visit minecon.mojang.com to book! Tickets are $150 each, 3yo and under get in for free and don’t need a ticket!
MINECON will be held at the Orange County Convention Center and will be on November 2-3, times to be announced later (probably from around 10am to around 5pm each day).
More details will follow about activities at MINECON, but there will of course be panels from Mojang and many community members, an awesome tradeshow where you can check out cool products and services revolving around Minecraft, and of course lots of Minecraft merchandise for sale.
Volunteer and panelist submissions will be taken soon, details to come in the coming weeks.
Companies wishing to exhibit: email Mojang for exhibitor information.
Hopefully we will get at least a few minutes. I remember reading Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference sold out in 90 seconds at $1,600 (limited to one ticket purchase per person), and they have a similar number of attendees as MineCon.
Anyhow, have fun everyone.
Pending tickets are currently with other customers.
They may become available, so check back soon.
on the check out page for the ticket $150 / ticket
We have some hungry Minecon fans!
no its $150 for a ticket for the whole weekend of minecon... they re selling them in "batches" so they all do not sell out at once and people in different timezones can buy them easier since they stagger the sales
EDIT: Nevermind. I think my PC is just a bit behind or something with the website... I dunno
I've got my ticket as well.
The hotel I'm booked in is the Red Roof Inn nearby.

I'm just a bit bothered that paypal wasn't an option, because Vu Bui claimed it would be, but oh well.
that would be a 'shipping or processing fee'
Gladly, I GOT MY TICKET!!
According to Mojang staff, all 2500 tickets of batch 1 were claimed within the first "3 SECONDS" of the ticket release. That's ridiculous!
So no scalping and no one under 16 years old running about by themselves, not bad.
