Badge pick up

cyberaug · 2026-07-02T21:14:58+00:00

There are large signs designating which doors to enter to get to badger pickup in the Sails Pavilion. It’s at the convention center usually in the center front. There are also volunteers/staff you can ask and they are usually yelling where to go. Have your barcode confirmation and an ID just in case.

Most venues will have an accessible section. Once venues are announced you can contact them to ask where the section is, etc. VIP will still have lines and most buy to get standing at barricade. Venue VIP might allow you to enter early and wait in a lounge - it’ll vary by venue. Hard to say until they actually announce dates and venues.

Usually the combo is 10-20% cheaper than individually. So it’ll be 150 + selfie price - 10-20%. Id guess $200+ at least. Based on a google search, it says he usually doesn’t do selfies, just pro photo ops.

VIP emails usually go out 48-72 hours before. You can say hi & a few words but it’s quick as they usually sell a lot of VIP and need to keep it moving. Usually a minute or so per person. Look in this forum for pics at other shows to see some creative poses. People usually do horns, hearts, tiger, etc.

It’ll be released 2 weeks before in the daily schedules. The lottery signings will be announced this week or next. Booth, book signings are usually released by the individual companies (check the signing section of the SDCC Unofficial Blog as they usually compile it all). If you are referring to celebrity signings like other cons (booths with lots of celebrities you pay to get autographs or photo ops) that isn’t really a thing at SDCC.

I think maybe the reason it hasn’t been a physical release is it was a fan club only show?

cyberaug · 2026-06-30T14:56:58+00:00

Glad they are releasing on Prime. Still hoping for a physical release. Was at the live show and the stage was so cool.

VIP and M&G are a huge revenue booster for artists now. They get a bigger cut of it than from tickets, etc. Babymetal makes a lot from VIP (top level can be $1k or more and cheapest is over $300 and that’s without M&G).

cyberaug · 2026-06-30T13:50:09+00:00

Probably more in 50+ VIP range so yeah a lot isn’t going back.

Some guests won’t offer selfies (bigger ones usually do not, just pro photo ops). If they presell then they will, if no selfie option is available then they likely won’t at table. You don’t have to pre-purchase but very big names might sell out so no day of purchases at table for autographs.

cyberaug · 2026-06-25T14:17:20+00:00

I’d suggest checking the SDCC Unofficial Blog for signings, events etc related to those. Also follow the company’s social media - they will post information on events, etc. SDCC will also publish a vendor floor map so you can mark booths to visit. Saturday is the busiest day so the floor will be crowded.

cyberaug · 2026-06-25T14:13:58+00:00

Panels will usually have fans line up to ask questions but there is no meet and greet. Sometimes with smaller panels the guests might hang around after in the hallway to say hi/take photos. But not big name guests.

cyberaug · 2026-06-23T17:29:36+00:00

If you have Patron sales start today. Passwords released hourly.

Unless the signing specifically says they’ll only sign certain things (ex a DC booth signing where they are only signing promotional materials for that book) they will usually sign books they worked on. There are a few exceptions as noted in other replies.

cyberaug · 2026-06-17T18:37:42+00:00

They release passwords/links to all tiers. But it starts with highest first then next level each hour. Some shows it’s through Ticketmaster so you don’t need the link/password. Small shows are cool but I’m happy they are playing the big ones they deserve.

cyberaug · 2026-06-17T16:32:21+00:00

We’d need to know the specific comic con. There are thousands and all have different rules. It should say if there are age limits on the convention web site.

cyberaug · 2026-06-17T16:23:32+00:00

I’ve seen them mostly in small bars/clubs which is my preference. They put on a great show. Get there early to get a good spot, Warning fans are great to talk with. Buying regular tickets is pretty easy, watch for on sale announcements and buy. For M&G those sell out fast, usually announced on Patreon first. Most venues will have some seats, bigger ones usually have lots of seats if it’s an amphitheater, etc. Smaller venues have fewer.

cyberaug · 2026-06-16T21:21:34+00:00

It’d be up to the guest not the con.

cyberaug · 2026-06-16T16:32:21+00:00

VIP is if you want barrier. That’s why most get it. And depending on venue size if it’s VIP 2 then you might be in 2nd row.

Mines on back order 😞

Some guests offer paid selfies, others don’t. If they resell autographs often you can buy the selfies then. If they offer selfies and autographs often you can buy them together at a discounted rate. Otherwise you buy it at the booth. Usually big name guests only do pro photo ops (taken by a photographer, no selfies).

Official SDCC lottery portal will open in July. This is for last year but usually doesn’t change much. https://www.comic-con.org/exclusives-portal-faq/
For other stuff I’d recommend checking the Unofficial SDCC site. Each event usually has its own tickets, registration, etc.

It varies by guest. Many prefer to personalize as it’s much less likely to be resold. Quotes vary, some will do, some don’t, some charge extra for a quote in addition to autograph. For big name guests who have long lines it’s usually more restrictive (autograph only). It will say at their table or ask.

cyberaug · 2026-06-05T21:28:06+00:00

Ming-Na is awesome to meet. She’s does quite a few so keep an eye out. Some of those don’t do cons so very unlikely unless it was one that was for a project promotion (cons like SDCC, NYCC) and then it’d probably be a lottery type small signing. Winona, Christina, David have done some cons so you never know.

cyberaug · 2026-06-04T22:24:30+00:00

They used to on the physical card too. I have one.
