Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, especially if you have a VIP ticket, to maximize your time meeting guests and exploring vendor booths before the main crowds arrive.
- Check the website for the specific guest autograph and photo-op pricing beforehand, as these are sold separately on-site and vary by celebrity.
- Bring cash for vendor purchases and autographs, as not all vendors may accept cards, though many do.
- Plan your visit around the cosplay contest and panel schedules, which will be posted at the show, to catch your favorite events.
- If bringing children under 11, remember that only one child is free per paid adult ticket; additional children will incur a $10 fee.
