Lucky gamers will be off to Paris in June for a new 'Invitational' held by Blizzard, with lucky fans getting to grips with World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King at the special event.

This is the first Invitational held in Europe, and those attending this major event will also be able to play Starcraft II; with other titles and announcements likely to star at the expo.

Those over 16 can attend, or younger with a responsible parent, with a limited number of tickets going on-sale, Blizzard no doubt anticipating intense demand from across Europe.

Tickets cost 55 GBP in British money (holy smoke), and if you want to go, you'll be well advised to keep your eyes peeled to the official site.
