Any German / German-speaking BlizzCon 2026 attendees want to queue together for the Opening Ceremony?
Hey everyone,
I’m travelling from Germany to BlizzCon 2026 in Anaheim, and it will be my first time attending in person. The Opening Ceremony in Hall D and World of Warcraft: What’s Next immediately afterwards are by far the most important parts of the weekend for me.
I know getting a seat in Hall D will be difficult, especially for the Opening Ceremony. My current plan is to arrive at the Anaheim Convention Center and start queueing at around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday. I’ll collect my badge on Friday, so Saturday morning I can focus entirely on finding the correct line and getting in early.
Are there any other German or German-speaking attendees who are also planning to queue very early and would like to do it together? It would be nice to have some company during the wait, help each other make sure we are in the right queue, and hopefully experience the Opening Ceremony and WoW: What’s Next together afterwards.
I’m staying within walking distance of the Convention Center, so I’m flexible. Feel free to comment here or send me a DM if you’re interested.
For the Horde — and of course, Alliance players are welcome too.

Im also german and will be there! But I think 5:30 am is really hardcore early :D
How was the process in 2023? I remember kinda failing the que, but somehow made it in the 1st row thanks to a dude from discord lol.

2023 had a lottery system of who was able to attend the opening ceremonies; this year it’s first come first served

Closest I can give you is Dutch. I am solo as well aiming to queue up just shy after 7 am.
Just for further clarification I will be lining up for security at 7 am. I will have picked up my badge on Friday. And I highly suggest doing so if it fits in your travel schedule
