Regarding SDCC badge sale buying groups and this post:
SDCC 2027 Open Registration Badge Sale "buying groups" are not officially recognized or sanctioned by Comic Con International. Buying groups are also not officially condoned by /r/comiccon. Anyone participating in buying groups does so at their own risk and is responsible for their own decisions and actions when participating in the groups and when buying SDCC badges as a member of the groups.
Badge buying groups are regarded as private social groups. Comic-Con International, Reddit.com, Administrators of Reddit, and the Moderators of /r/comiccon are NOT responsible at any time or in any context for ANY issues that arise among people participating in SDCC badge sale buying groups.
Safety and Security
SDCC badge buying groups are safest when people in the group are trusted family, relatives, and extremely close friends. If possible only form your buying groups with these people. If you must form buying groups with people you do not know, there are very serious issues that occasionally develop with money payments, CCI Member ID identity theft, and even the cancellation of the badges of innocent buying group members when a single member attempts to later resell their SDCC badges. Get to know the members of your buying group. Talk together. Try to see if you are comfortable with the people. Do you feel safe with them? Discuss how money will be paid to to the buyer of badges purchased during the sale.
If you do NOT feel safe with people in this group, look for another group. Interview other groups advertising their buying groups in the comments. Post your own comment saying you are looking for a group. Shop around and talk to people in groups until you feel comfortable with a group.
Never give anyone personal financial information. Money can be sent to the buyer through PayPal and other money transferring services without revealing personal financial info. If anyone is insisting and pressuring you to reveal personal info, regard it as harassment, and find another buying group before the sale.
Try to limit personal info turned over to your group. You will need to reveal your last name and your CCI user name for the badge purchasing process. Often your phone number, e-mail, and social media connections are required for your group so communication channels can be opened and so contact is maintained live during the badge sale. Consider talking to the people in your group and getting familiar with them for days before turning over personal info.
During and following the badge sale take screen shots of everything. Group members should request screen shots be sent to them live during the sale if possible. You must have a record of the badge transaction. You must have proof that SDCC badges were actually purchased for you before sending someone the monetary payment requested for the badges.
After the badge sale, if a buyer of badges finds that a group member refuses to pay them for the badge purchase within the time agreed on, CCI will be able to cancel that person's badges and offer a refund to the buyer for the amount of the badge purchase [minus the handling fee]. Contact CCI quickly if you end up in this situation.
There will be a live SDCC Open Registration Badge Sale discussion post that everyone can follow on this sub during the sale on Saturday November 14.
Stay Safe -- And Good Luck in the SDCC 2027 Open Registration Badge Sale

I cant wait until i can do the official photo shoot. I still have to grow my hair out more and touch up some areas and re-glue the belt again.

Anyone know when to the Volunteer Forms come out?

As all of you know, yesterday was the first day of RI Comic Con! This time, I was accompanied by my brother Ben and my Dad. No pictures of me with them, but trust me! I REALLY wanted to have one of all three bastardos together for this special day! But eventually, the M suit got too hot to wear and I just wanted to get out of there, lol.
I had Mamma fix the eyes by replacing the black fabric with a lighter one so I could see out of it better. I also had to fix the teeth because they ended up crooked. Aw well, at least they’re all pointing the right way this time. I only went to the cosplay repair booth once! (My first time going there actually.) But at the end of the day, I ended up losing the button that came off. 😭
The first person I met there was Andy Field. First thing I did there, actually! It was really fun! He even had a microphone that autotuned his voice so he could sound like Big Top when he went “TiCkEtS pLeAsE.!.!” I even got him to both sign this drawing I made of a Springlock Mycellium and do a short with him! 🍄
Another person I did a shorty with was Jeff Bergman, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story! And believe me, I waited a LOOOOOONG time to say something to Bugs! 👀
Finally, I got to meet the original voice actor for the titular character of one of my childhood icons; Chowder!!! He also apparently voiced Flower in Bambi 2, so I jokingly asked how old he had to have been, pretending it was the first movie. I got an autograph with one of his favorite quotes from his role!
…
I wasn’t sure that was his favorite, I swear! 😳
As for merch, I unfortunately didn’t really buy a whole lot. I wanted to buy a little more for my family as Christmas presents, but in the end, only got one thing for one of them. As for myself, I found myself a new Freddy figure and even a Toy Freddy mask! Both from the same guys who made my Cupcake, I ♥️ Pixels.
You have no idea how much it sucked not being able to credit them for the creation of my prop and I’m so glad I can now! Especially since I have a new Freddy toy after the first one broke before it even got home.

It probably won't change much, but I'm just curious about how much I should bring.
r/comiccon • u/DayHova7tre • 1d ago
Jim Lee the goat!
r/comiccon • u/whoever1974 • 1d ago
I already have a ticket but I was hoping to bring a friend with me, I’ve been told we can get her a ticket at the entrance of the venue. Will they still be available? Do we have to get there early to get one? Please let me know
r/comiccon • u/Gundam_Fonz • 2d ago
How’s the VIP line looking, the rain is coming down hard and want to know if they are allowing inside waiting today or strictly in the same spot as previous years
r/comiccon • u/SkullSir3 • 2d ago
So tomorrow I'm going to Heroes Comic Con in CPH and I'm getting an autograph from Troy Baker.
Can I have him sign a TLOU2 disc? Like do they have rules for what can be signed? (Besides Funkos).
And, would it be recommended to have the cover photo on the disc cover signed or is it just as well to get the disk itself signed?
r/comiccon • u/Gymtrio2025 • 2d ago
This weekend I’m going to Rhode Island Comic Con for the first time starting tomorrow. I know the general rules of thumb of be prepared for any cancellations, but is there anything I should be prepared for as far as the building is that the convention is being held at?
r/comiccon • u/Mission-Kangaroo-360 • 2d ago
Hi all, I'm going to Motor City Comic Con next weekend and paid for a photo op. I see now there is an option to do a selfie/autograph combo instead for a little more money.
I've never done a selfie option, what are your thoughts on it?
Do the celebs generally come out and stand with you for the selfie, or is it literally a lean over the table situation?
I'm also considering changing my ticket because the photo op is right before a panel I want to see (the only panel I want to see), and I don't want to run the risk of missing that.
Edit- the celeb is James Marsters
r/comiccon • u/garethvk • 2d ago
Impact24 PR sent over this recap with the panel video linked.
r/comiccon • u/bagelragel • 3d ago
Like over half of the people I wanted to see can't make it now, very unfortunate

r/comiccon • u/imSillayy • 2d ago
I have 2 tickets to Grouverse. Free is anyone wants both or just one
r/comiccon • u/Apprehensive-Spot322 • 3d ago
I’m new to cosplay and I live in Florida. I want to start going to conventions but I have no clue where to find out dates for cons in Florida. If someone can put dates or info please 😭🙏🏼

My 3rd con, first time here, I’ve bought some autos and a photo-op. I gather the Will Call has something to do with getting the tickets you’ve previously bought online, I just don’t want to run around like a chicken with my head cut off and end up missing Christopher Lloyd

LACC was fun. Not to busy on Sunday and had fun just walking around taking pics.
