I’ve been to San Diego Comicon, working a booth. I love the dealer’s room and artists’ tables. Panels and talks can take up a lot of time (standing in line before to be sure to get a seat).

I’d highly recommend having a plan: who/what do you absolutely want to see, and go there first.

Artists are great to talk with, though some bigger names may not always be at their tables.

Bring a bag to carry what you buy, or a water bottle and snack; food and drinks can get pricy. Check the con guidelines if you can bring food in.

If you need time away from the crowds, look to the edges of the convention/hotel area. There are often corridors, stairways that are away from the main events that will be less crowded if you want to sit down for a break.

Since you have a free ticket, I’d recommend trying it, at least for part of a day.

Really good points there! I will do my research today and draft a plan on what I'll do on the day. Thank you so much 🙏🏼😊

The food advice was also a fantastic point! Everything will cost an arm and a leg 😂

Glad to help! 🫂 Another thought is to bring cash. Most tables take credit cards (in the US), but it can sometimes speed up buying or help out a small artist if you pay with cash, especially for lower priced items, so they don’t have to pay the credit card fees. Paying for a table at a big event like that is very expensive. Hope you have fun!

I can't even remember the last time I had cash on me in the UK 😅🫣 but you're right, some might accept cash instead! Hopefully they will accept bitcoin, but let's see!
