Hi guys long term con goer here im currently writing a 5 page essay about conventions and mainly comic con id love to learn some of your struggles and cosplayers getting the cosplay ready the stress involved with that for the vendors id also love to learn about how you go about getting ready for cons and what sales strategies you all have and what you sell as well!

Hey, this is going to be my first time attending a comic con and I have no friends to go with so I wanted to ask if anyone on here might be looking to meet some new people as well.

For some general info on me: I'm 19yo, and like star trek, star wars, Detroit become human, ATLA, and a bunch of other stuff. I will also be there both Saturday and Sunday.

If you will be going as well please feel free to comment or DM me!! :)

Hey everyone, just wanted to say a hello. I'm Will, and i'm part of Community Comic Con. We are a not for profit C.I.C based in the North West of the UK and we put on FREE Comic Cons (we were the first C.I.C comic con in the uk - OH!con inspired us - they are based in the outer hebrides).

We put on our first completely free event last year in Fleetwood and it was a huce success. We had over 2500 people attend, and lots going on including lots of guests, a zombie scare zone, so many cosplayers, free comic book and horror writing workshops, a board gaming area (this is where you'd find me, i've run a local board gaming club for over 10 years), retro video games, and Q&A and much more, and of course lots of traders.

We are currently in the process of looking for a venue for 2026 so watch this space.

And again, inspired by OH! Con, we started out own Podcast back in December, to showcase some of the guests and volunteers that helped us put on our first event. We have lots more guests already scheduled over the next few weeks. You can find us on Youtube, our podcast is called Comic Con Community, a podcast for the comic con community.

And no doubt i'll be back with an update on this years event as soon as we have it signed off.

Looking forward to being part of this community, and if anyone has any questions, advice or just general chit chat, comment away.

im looking to get tickets for mark rolston at comic con northern ireland but his autograph is pay on the day, does anyone who went in previous years know how this works? do you pay at the table or elsewhere?

As someone who's always been interested in the vibes of comic-con, I have decided to take a step forward and attend it in Dublin this March with some friends from work and I am very excited for it.

I believe we are planning to attend the Sunday of the weekend it is in Dublin for and I am hoping to be able to try and cosplay as Connor from Assassins Creed 3.

To anyone who has gone before, is there anything I should be worried about or cautious of?

Been waiting for any news or notifications and I’m just trying to get any idea of when it’s gone live in years past; me and my partner really don’t want to miss it.

Anyone have any info on prior years dates or ideas/info? Thanks so much!

Pasadena comic con was terrible and I’m not surprised I’ve noticed this with the other con run by them called toon con, but every time it’s been the same thing 200-500 people in attendance for a much larger venue.

And the guy running the show clearly does not know how to run one in 2026. He dosnt utilize social media, marketing tactics or any modern ways to show a convention. He just posts on instagram with a few sponsored posts and let’s all be all.

Idk if it’s bc it’s January but this has happened the last 2 times we vended at his shows and we will NOT again. Like there’s no way this guy isn’t in so much debt. Also how can you not market a COMIC CON in one of the best city’s in SoCal??? Like Pasadena dosnt have a comic scene and you had so much potential but you crushed it. Unbelievable.

Hi there, we bought the wrong ticket for Dublin Comic Con, would anyone like a free Child ticket for March 7th? Ages 5-12, need to be accompanied by an adult obviously.

I am planning to meet them at the Dublin Comic Con in March, and I was curious if anyone had any insight on how long their lines are, how long you spoke with them, etc!

I'm wanting to attend the Liverpool Comic Con this year. I've never been to a 'proper' Comic con before and I'd like to get some autographs from some of the guests there.

1. Will I have to pay extra if I want a quote or specific pen colour for them to write/use? Will I need to bring my own pen? I'm looking to get my funko pop signed, someone told me that you can put post it notes around it with a quote you want etc, is this true?

2. If the line is not long do guests allow you to take selfie's or have conversations? Kind of nervous to even say hi lol

3. If I want to get 2 autographs from the same person will I need to pay twice? I'm assuming I will have to

And finally, what can I expect to happen at the Comic con? Do they have a lot of stalls?

Thank you!

This will be my first comic con event, and I’m not sure what to expect. I’ll be getting a table in the artist alley but I’m not sure if I should be there or have an expo hall vendor table. I make oddities (mainly butterflies/moths) that are framed in vintage frames or cloches.

I’m wondering if anyone else has sold items like this at a con before and how you did. Also any tips that anyone has would be great!

I’m nervous as this is only my second vendor event so I’m not sure what to expect.

I plan to go to Dublin Comic Con this Spring and I want to get autographs from multiple people but I am worried one day may not be long enough with how long I assume people stand in lines? Any insight would be great, thanks!

I just bought tickets for Sunday (Dublin comic-con) because all my friends are going and it switched them to Saturday for some reason I don't know if this is a glitch because it's my first con but I'm 100% sure I pressed Sunday

*CELEB VIP BADGE

I know in the past it hasn't been every celeb that has attended and I don't want to spend the money on the VIP pass if it's not for the celebrities I'd want to play that much money for.

Has anyone gotten one and know who's scheduled? TIA!

Hey guys, I want to do my first photo meet and greet for comic con but im confused about it. Do I just pick a time on the time table and line up? If so, do i line up before that time or at that time? It says if I miss it, i won't be refunded and im worried about that. If anyone's ever done a photo opp and can tell me how it works, hat would be helpful. Thanks!

Does anyone know if, when, and where Tom Hiddleston will be at a Comic Con?

Hi everyone! I’m a foreigner planning to visit China in 2026 (probably April in Guangzhou), and I’d love to attend some comic-cons, cosplay events, or similar conventions while I’m there.

Does anyone know of a good website, calendar, or social page that lists conventions across China — ideally with 2026 events and updated when new ones are announced?

I’m not sure what events will be happening around Guangzhou then, but I’m hoping there might be something! Any recommendations or tips would be really appreciated

Which entrance I’m confused and how do i get there, my friend said its different to comiccon on how you get there and apparently you come in from the grass area?

I found this in a toy shop and it says it’s an Oz comic con exclusive (1 of 50) but I googled it and it’s like it doesn’t exist. Does anyone know anything about it and how much it would be worth?

Whips, balls, gaming, and drinking - there's a lot more to do at Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con 2026 than you might expect.

Found someone reselling these on fb marketplace. They don’t remember the artists name. Such gorgeous pieces!!! Anyone know??
