New for , Comic-Con International and the San Diego Convention Center have expanded the badge-required areas in front of the convention center.
Harbor Drive in front of the convention center will be closed to through traffic and will be where the shuttle buses now pick up and drop off. You might be asking, why would anyone want to go through all this trouble to score one of the toughest tickets in town, only to decide not to go? There is, however, a deadline when refund requests need to be submitted by — for , this is May 13, If you get caught, you may be banned from the convention for life.
The hardest part of Comic-Con may be getting a ticket to attend at all, but securing a hotel is a very close second. They then offer these hotels to attendees in two different hotel sales — the first of which is called the Early Bird Hotel Sale , which launched in January for the con.
The process changed for Now, you are directed to enter a waiting room, similar to badge sales. You have one hour in which to enter the waiting room. Following that, you are randomly selected to enter the form which was similar to previous years to fill out a list of your preferences and requirements and we recommend checking out our guide to familiarize yourself with the process. In the event that none of your hotel preferences wind up being available, you can choose if you wanted onPeak to slot you in the closest available hotel, or if you were only willing to accept hotels on your list.
Hotel submissions are processed in the order of the timestamp in which you gained access to the form supposedly, anyway. The General Hotel Sale took place on April 11, You can find details about that sale, as well as hotel prices, here.
A few of the hotel rooms also open up a few weeks later, as people release rooms. The city offers great public transportation, which includes the MTS Trolley.

Yes it is. Accompanying adults just need to register their child at the badge pick-up desk onsite. Comic-Con International prides itself with booking family programming on the schedule, as well as family-friendly booths on the exhibit floor like Hasbro, LEGO and Nintendo.
And Sundays are generally regarded as Family Day, with several panels and events tailored for the kids. Buying a ticket to SDCC might be a near-impossible task, but there are also a few ways you can attend for free. Applications for both Professionals for is now over. The show backed up the mandate with enforcement that included a sizeable vaccination verification station at a nearby lot where every attending fan had to show a vaccination pass with ID in order to get a green wristband that would allow them to enter the building.
The reduced number of fans was most apparent on Saturday, usually the most crowded day of the Con. Despite the reduction, there were still substantial throngs of fans roaming the exhibition floor and concourse areas and everyone seemed thrilled just to be back in the building. The show offered many of its usual vendors, events and presentations, with the exception of major comics and book publishers. On the other hand, manga publisher Viz Media took its usual large booth-space.
Viz was joined on the floor by Yen Press a Hachette manga copublishing venture , and the Korean Creative Content Agency, a Korean government agency which represented a number of Korean manhwa or comics publishers as well as Webtoon, the fast growing mobile comics platform. Independent publishers that did exhibit included Aftershock, MadCave, Scout Comics, Zenescope, a number of smaller houses, and hundreds of individual artists that set up in the sprawling Artist Alley, positioned on the lower level of the Javits.
The Artist Alley area attracted substantial traffic the entire weekend and was packed with fans even on Sunday afternoon. Indie publisher Scout Comics, also set up in a premium location on the main floor, had a large crowd of fans on Saturday watching as artist Rob Prior live-painted a character portrait on a canvas set up right next to the booth space.

NYCC ticket buyers received access to selected panels and could buy digital access to the rest. The show returned to Anaheim in , and in , 66, fans packed the newly expanded Anaheim Convention Center from all over the globe.
The event has grown in all aspects over the years: more attendees, more exhibitors, more programming, and more fun. In its current Anaheim-based incarnation, WonderCon continues to be a must-attend event on the comic book convention schedule. Over the years, San Diego Comic Convention has presented other conventions and events, including Comic Book Expo , a retail trade show for the comics industry, and ProCon, a convention for comic book industry creative professionals.
The Eisners are given out each year at Comic-Con International: San Diego in a gala event held the Friday evening of the convention at a local hotel. The awards feature more than two-dozen categories covering the best publications and creators of the previous year. A blue-ribbon committee selects nominees from thousands of entries submitted by publishers and creators, which are then voted on by members of the comic book industry.
Comic-Con International also runs the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Awards , an annual event featured at the San Diego convention that allows fans to nominate their favorite comic book stores from around the world. The prestigious award goes to those retailers who have done an outstanding job of supporting the comics medium, both in the community and within the industry at large.
Visionary comic creator Will Eisner approached Comic-Con in the mids with the idea for this award. People running the events want to make money — at least as much money as they're putting in. And in order to get people to attend, you have to advertise and get the word out. Having big names on a poster or even simply rumored to possibly appear helps a lot in that regard.
San Diego Comic-Con is going to have a different feel this year. Marvel Studios, which has pretty much had a stranglehold on SDCC buzz for the last few years, is skipping the event. Our mission has never been more vital than it is in this moment: to empower through understanding.
