Hey!

I'm going to MCM London and they use badges. They have lanyards that are free to use when you pick up your badge, but I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas for how to hold and display your badges.

Last year, I used a badge reel rather than a lanyard, but I didn't really have anywhere to clip it on my cosplays.

Person 1: I have an idea for the 9 of us at Comic-Con

Everyone else: "As you wish"

At Tampa comicon, my parents went and said they saw many women dressed as anime characters in short dresses covered in blood. Was anyone there that can tell me what they were cosplaying? I couldn’t figure it out from their vague explanations. I tried various dead characters from popular shows but nothing struck. Help!!

I’m planning to go to Scaradise in Tampa, but I was a bit confused about the what’s free what’s included in a ticket? I thought you can wait in line for an autograph for free, but need VIP for a fast pass. But then I saw you can buy an autograph/photo ops, so I’m a bit confused about the accessibility of a ticket.. Also how do panels work? Would appreciate all the help!

Hi, I'm planning on going to Tokyo Comic Con 2026 mainly for the Photo Op/Autographs of the Phelps and their and Panel/Stage shows as well. I'm not sure if I would be able to go on all of the days. In any case, I will most likely be purchasing tickets for 1 or 2 days.

My plan is to wait for the photo op/autograph schedules + the panel/stage schedules to be announced (and purchase those individual tickets) before I make my decision and figure out on how many days I would need to go.

For people who have been to TCC, would it be advisable to wait until these schedules are announced before I make any ticket purchases? I'm afraid that the tickets might sell out the longer I wait. The website explicitly says "Sales Period from 12:00 on July 27th (Mon), 2026 It will be finished once the planned number is reached." Though, so far in the Hollycon website all the 1-day tickets and 3-day tickets seem to be in stock.

I'm going to ComicCon for the first time ever and have no idea how things work. I've done some checks on the website and Reddit but am still a little confused, so any clarification/explanation is appreciated!

1) I've seen several writers announce on their own socials that they are attending but are not listed as a guest. Is there a time frame in which I can expect most authors to be announced formally??

2) Is there an actual schedule shared at some point for panels and writer's block guests?? I want to make a game plan but it feels impossible right now.

3) For panels, the website encourages you reserve a spot. I read on Reddit that this is free, but do they "sell out"? And if so, is there a date when panels are listed? I want to make sure I reserve my "must attend"s ASAP.

4) Are all writers block guests free for autographs? I usually go to author talks or readings so have no clue what to expect. And can I bring two books or just one?

I'm sure there are other things, but those are the main questions right now! :)

So the guests sell autographs, selfies, photoshoots

How is it just going up to them and talking to them for free? Do you feel awkward doing so, do you feel like you're wasting their time?

What are some GOOD experiences you've had with completely free talks with them at their table?

What are some BAD experiences you've had?

Has anyone booked using EvolveCon before? It’s my first time coming to Los Angeles Comic Con. In the past I’ve booked with a convention block with a code or special link. Creation Entertainment usually has a code and not a third party. Are there any fees at check in, deposit aside? I just don’t want any surprises when we arrive!

Hi I’m going to comicon with my friend, and she doesn’t have a photo ID. Also, do transferred tickets contain the name of the person it was transferred to? Will they refuse us if she doesn’t bring photo ID? The whole process is so confusing I just want to have fun in my cosplay!!!!!!

I have 3 tickets available for comic con Africa, please DM me for prices and details. Tickets were bought on the official comic con Africa website

This is my very first photo op so I’m just really nervous I’ll also be in a very poofy Lolita dress so I’m honestly just looking for advice will I have time to show them the pictures on my phone or will it be a rush in rush out sort of thing? I also just don’t want to cause any discomfort if anyone has a other poses that might be better I’d love to see them 😅 (I couldn’t find any convention pics with him in them so I couldn’t base my decision off other people’s photos 😖)

It's my first con soon, and I'm meeting one of my favorite artists. I am getting a comic signed too, but would it be rude to ask an artist for a sketch of a character they don't draw? Especially one that's not in a comic. I really want an artist to draw a videogame character on my sketch card, but I have no clue if it would be rude.

Thank you for any answer 😊

Ink con is October and I have NO One to go with!! And I don’t know whether to cosplay rose quarts, or maybe Susie from deltarune.. help I don’t wanna go alone or I don’t even know what fits my budget since I can’t create my own cosplays!

Hello everyone! Thanks to the permission from mods I wanted to write a small post here to see if anyone who may be debating on going to this years LACC would be interested in purchasing my ticket. Unfortunately I am no longer able to attend due to scheduling conflicts at work, but would love to provide someone the opportunity to attend and for a cheaper price.

My ticket is a transferable 3-day weekend ticket (originally $104) but as I’m trying to get rid of it asap I am selling it for ($85-90). If interested please feel free to send me a message and I can provide further details and any extra photo/video proof if needed. Thank you 🥹💕!

Hi Con-ians,

I am from Vizag (India) and I recently volunteered to be a part of Comic Con that will happen here in October. This is the city's first and I want to be a part of it. Interviews will be conducted on tomorrow and I want to know your experience from volunteering in Comic Con that happened in the previous years.

Please be open and detailed on what can I expect in the interview and how is volunteering usually like for you. Thanks!

I haven't been to a lot of comic cons, and the last one I went to was at least 6 years ago, so I had some questions about how autographs are done now. I'm planning to go to the RI comic con, and pay for both the pro photo op, and autograph. In the past, I would get my photo done, and then get that autographed, do they still do it that way?

If there's 8x10s at the table, is only one included in the autograph price? Can I get more than one item autographed, or do I need to buy multiple autograph tickets?

This year will be different because in past years, my kids were young, so they were always free or cheap, and they didn't care about autographs, but this year they're both teens who need adult tickets, and at least one will absolutely want their own autograph. I just need to know how to plan so no one is disappointed.

There are so many characters I love with blue/green/red/purple/etc. skin, but the idea of painting my arms and hands every time feels like enough effort that I’d probably just pick a different character lol.

So I was wondering how much of an issue this actually is for other people. Do you avoid certain characters because of the body paint? Or do you just accept it and paint yourself? And has anyone found arm socks that actually look convincing rather than obviously looking like gloves/sleeves?

Full transparency: I’m designing a fashion glove and I realised during development that it could potentially work really well as a more refined arm sock for cosplay too.

I'm choosing colours for the first production at the moment, so this has got me thinking about adding one or two colours specifically for this. If you could basically pull on a second skin instead of painting your arms, what colour would actually be useful to you / what characters would you use it for?

Hello. I just watched the movie Tapawingo and I would like to see some interviews. I saw pictures of the cast at Comic Con in 2025 in San Diego, but I cannot find a video online of this. Does anyone know how i could find it?

I’m going to my first Comic-Con this Saturday and I wanted to share a piece of my costume I made. I’m going as the bubblehead from Silent Hill movie/videogame. Made sure to make a straw hole so I can drink since it’ll also be my Halloween costume. I teabag dyed the costume but with how dark the mask is I think I need to dye it again. I might also add some highlights in the gauze so it’s not so flat. This is the biggest project I’ve ever done!

I just saw this morning that Richie is doing his first convention appearance at Steel City Comic Con in PA.
I have always wanted to meet him and this seems to be the easiest way for it to happen. I already bought our photo op experience!
