WoW Insider http://atu.ca/f8b4 : It's probably not helpful 
to hundreds (thousands?) of customers who suffered the 
slings and arrows of BlizzCon ticket purchase, but scalpers 
are already selling tickets on eBay 
http://atu.ca/BlizzconTickets

Blizzard's rules for BlizzCon are set up to mitigate 
scalpers' ability to resale on eBay and other internet 
venues. The ticket pickup rules, from the official BlizzCon 
website say:

"Tickets and badges must be picked up at the Anaheim 
Convention Center; Blizzard Entertainment will NOT be 
mailing the badges out. To pick up your tickets, you will 
need to provide the credit card used to make the purchase. 
There are no exceptions to this."

And as one eBay scalper says in his auction, he'll have to 
deliver the tickets "near" the convention center. So, the 
buyer should beware. You don't have any assurances your 
scalper will actually show up, and you could find yourself 
out a grand or two pretty. Of course, you'd kind of be 
bringing it on yourself anyway.
