At a presser half an hour ago!

Went to go pick up my phone charger from my truck, someone left a beer and a pin,that says thank you for choosing the imperial empire along with 50.00 cash. I'm parked at Manchester hayatt, you literally paid for my parking for the day. Thank you.

May the odds be ever in your favor to do what you like and have a great time!!

It's our 50th year! Come donate, get a Spiderman shirt from the Blood Bank plus other goodies! If you come today, you won't have to miss anything.

Hey guy, just landed in LA X from Melbourne and am heading to San Diego. Debating going straight to the convention centre to grab tickets and passes and then dropping them back to my accom, or going there first to shower drop off luggage.

Just wondering how many hours it will take to grab the tickets?

Hello, first time going to SDCC!!! Does anyone know what entrance is the closest to the McFarlane toys booth? I want to grab the green lantern kilowog! Thank you!!

What time would everyone suggest getting into the line today for entry? I have my pass and there a few con exclusives I’m looking to pick up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

If you're looking for cheap food, the app Too Good To Go has some options. The deals have specific pick up times and pick up locations arent always conveniently located, but you can get a couple slices of pizza or a sandwich meal for $6-$7

See you all tomorrow!

20 yrs ago! I attended my first SDCC with my aunt and uncle (who attended the early 70's SDCC; so I was in good hands as an early 20yr old who had never been to one. (I just went onto the website the day the passes released and just ordered the three day pass, too easy) I remember arriving a bit late and just walking right in and went to a Superman panel that talked about Superman Returns and Superman II the Donnor cut. I got to see Jim Lee in a small room panel with Grant Morrison and Gail Simone and Adam Brody. Jim passed out donuts to the front rows. I remember seeing Liefeld just talking at a table about bad ass Cable and seeing Todd McFarlane just walking around the floor. Good memories. (wish I had bought a few Invincible #1's and Original Art back then. :-)

SD local here.  

I won a Friday exclusive with a wristband pickup before 9am.  My Comicon badge was mailed to me and i have it. The badge is valid for Friday and Sunday. I have a kid and need to register her for both of those days. So i don't have to deal with the anxiety of two enormous lines Friday morning (reg and wristband), I'm thinking about registering my kid tonight (Wed)? Is that possible?  

Don't want to make a trip downtown tonight if it's all for naught.  Thanks in advance. 

So my friend forgot his badge and hes 6 hours away already driving. Where can he pick up a replacement badge? All I see online is on site but thats very vague. Please help.

It’s my first SDCC and I’ve been seeing that you need to be early for pretty much everything. I’m wanting to go to the Gundam panel at 10:30 tomorrow in room 6BCF. What time should I try to get there by to make sure I can get into the panel? Thanks!

First timer in san diego. Yesterday we went to the zoo, definitely was enjoyable. Monday we walked ALOT after our flight into here. We're trying to save our legs for the con days and not be too beat. Contemplated e bikes to explore the town but not too sure of what exactly to do or explore other than the offsites happening today, which we wouldn't really need an ebike for. Any thoughts? Not worth it? Or absolutely get it and go see something? If so, what are the somethings? TIA

I was supposed to fly out at 5 PM EST today but my flight was cancelled & pretty much every flight out of the NY/NJ airports are cancelled until at least Thursday morning. The earliest non-standby flight I could book gets in at 12:41 PM so by the time my friend picks me & I drop my stuff off I’ll already have missed half the day. And I only have badges for Thursday & Sunday. I doubt SDCC will do anything to help make it up for those who are going to be missing time from the convention because of the tornadoes & storms. Just incredibly frustrating.

Update: I was able to rebook my flight so that I get into John Wayne at 5 PM today. Fingers crossed there’s no more delays or cancellations. I’ll just ride with my friend & her GF to SD once she’s done with work. Just have to stop by the SD airport to pick up my bag since it was able to get there at 3 AM this morning.

I bring cash to set myself a spending limit but everybody’s going cashless these days. Anybody know? Is it a mix at least or just no point to bring cash?

This gets asked here a lot so this is the current bag check information for 2026.

Thursday - Saturday: 7:00AM - 12:00AM
Sunday: 7:00AM - 6:00PM

I unapologetically love breakfast buffet options. Outside of hotels, we don't really have any inexpensive ones in sd.

I plan to get downtown very early each day. I don't mind paying to eat at a hotel. This question never really gets many answers in our local subreddit because locals don't really stay in the hotels to know.

So who better to ask than comicon guests staying in hotels? Please let me know!

Thank you!

The librarians are back and here is how you can take part in Blind Date with a Book! We look forward to seeing you Friday night!

Hey guys, just had a question especially for any locals. I got Hilton bayfront parking this year and the consensus is that coming from the south might not be an option considering road closures in Barrio Logan/harbor?

I have an experienced contact telling me that if we show traffic control we have Hilton parking we can cross harbor from the north.

Is there a better/easier way to get to the garage? I can navigate to come from either north or south
