Blizzard sent out emails to fans who purchased a Blizzcon 2009 ticket a few months ago.  Between August 5-7, only those who purchased a Blizzcon ticket will have the opportunity to pre-order the Blizzcon 2009 merchandise from the official Blizzard store.  Read the email transcript Eldorian received earlier to check out the requirements and instructions:
