Tickets Sold Out for Minecon 2015 in London

The two batches of MineCon 2015 tickets have already sold out. 

The Minecraft convention is going to be held in London on July 4 to 5. The Mojang website sold the tickets last March 27 and 28.

There's no official word yet if a new batch of tickets will ever be sold now that the event is at least three months away. There were only 10,000 tickets sold in those two batches.

Those still hoping they can get a ticket to the Minecraft event should tune in to the Mojang website in case new tickets will be made available. Those who already got the tickets can go to the website if they have any questions about their tickets, accommodations or other related matters.

Those fortunate enough to get hold of a ticket will receive a free cape upon admission to MineCon 2015.  Fans not lucky enough to get a ticket can watch live streams of the upcoming Minecon 2105 event.

The developer promised the opening and closing events and some of the panel shows will be uploaded for public viewing on YouTube.  The events to be shown on live stream will be announced in advance.

Meanwhile, Microsoft announced it's keeping hands-off policy on MineCon 2015.  A spokesperson from Microsoft issued a statement saying, "Mojang is running MineCon 2015 in the same manner as their past events." 

Last year, Minecraft developer Mojang was bought by Microsoft for $2.5 billion.

The Microsoft statement also gave thanks to Minecraft fans and creators for making the game a "global phenomenon".  Although Microsoft said that while it's important to lend a helping hand, it's better to let the Minecraft developer maintain its traditional role in hosting the Minecraft convention.
