Up for a last-minute vacation? Wowhead has 16 BlizzCon passes to give away.

BlizzCon is next week and Wowhead's teaming up with WoW Insider to throw a huge party the night before. From 5pm to 11pm Pacific on Thursday, November 7th, they'll be partying at the Anabella hotel right next to BlizzCon and anyone in the area can attend. They've got awesome sponsors, lots of prizes, a bunch of well-known people from the World of Warcraft community including some Blizzard staff and popular streamers, and even a photobooth for attendees looking to get a picture taken with some weapons from Azeroth.

I know what some of you are saying: "That sounds great and all, but I didn't get a BlizzCon ticket this year." Thanks to Blizzard's generosity, 16 lucky Wowhead and Hearthhead fans will get the chance to attend this year's show.

How do you get your hands on one of these free passes? All that's required is going to this post on Wowhead and posting a reply answering one simple question: What are you looking forward to the most at BlizzCon 2013? That's all you need to do and you'll be in the running to be one of the lucky 16.

If you're looking for the catch, there is none but there are a couple details you should know about. First, there's no airfare or hotel included with these 16 passes, so unless you live in the area or can spring for a last-minute vacation, you should probably stick with your Virtual Ticket. The most important detail of all though is the deadline for this contest: you have until 11:59PM PDT on Friday, November 1st to enter for a chance to win. This is a very time-sensitive contest given that the show is next week, so it has to move fast. Winners will be emailed on Saturday, November 2nd and Blizzard will rush the tickets out on Monday, November 4th. If a winner takes too long to reply, their prize is forfeit.

Are you still reading this? Go enter the contest! As for me, I'll be watching the live stream of the party and the Virtual Ticket from home this year.
