About Us
Welcome to the Unofficial Blog of San Diego Comic-Con. Running from June through July each year, we provide tips, information, and commentary on every element of the Convention. Though we specialize in film and TV, expect to see everything from comics to toys covered on the site.
In the time leading up to the con you can expect up to the minute news on everything you care about including events, panels, and exciting happenings. The site also features commentary and tips that will help you prepare for your trip. Come July 21st we will be live blogging and tweeting from all 5 days of the con for those who can’t attend or want to hear about events they missed!
We are not affiliated with the convention in any way, meaning that we cover everything happening in and around the con with no filters or bias.
This site is directly tied in with the twitter @SD_Comic_Con, so follow that for even more than what you get on the site.
Make sure to go to the Contact Us page if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for reading!

Hi!
I was just wondering if you could help us out. Me and my friends won E-bay tickets for Comic Con on June 30th. We gave our info and everything, they sent us an email to hang tight. And then they never got back to us again! I’m deeply frustrated and would like to know if you could help me in any way..
Any kind of help would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much! Please let me hear from you..
Regards,
Weigy
in reply to the above…I can tell you that they will be of no help as the re-sale of SDCC tickets/badges is not allowed and badges are 100% non transferable. People who buy from sellers on eBay not only risk loosing money from bad sellers, but if for any reason you are found to be holding a badge with a name other then yours you will be asked to leave the convention and will not be allowed to attend future comic cons.
Somebody I know bought badges from someone online and met up with them in San Diego. During a credit card purchase at a vendor they noticed the name didn’t match the badge and had security escort them from the convention hall.
You are taking a huge risk when you buy SDCC badges on eBay.
Comic con DID start re-selling tickets on Ebay that people had cancelled for the 1st time last year. If you look at the date of Roseanne’s post, it was for last year’s Con. You have to follow them on twitter and they would annouce when a batch of tickets were going on sale. They would sell out super quickly,. It was legitmate sales from the CC office.
Dear Zack,
This year will be my first time at the SDCC, both as an attendee and a guest, and I must admit that although I’ve taken part in several conventions, Comic Con has me a little nervous hahaha!
So I just wanted to thank you for providing your readers with tips on how to enjoy the con to the max!! :
Don’t hesitate to come say hello, I’ll be staying at the SQP Art books booth all 4 days, signing autographs and introducing a few Comic Con exclusive items
All the best, and once again thank you

I was just wondering if whether comic con has an age limit? Because I had heard from some one that you must be 19 years of age to be allowed into the convention. Is this true? :S
No, Comic-Con is all ages. In fact, they even have child care on site! They recommend to the panelists and exhibitors to keep the content clean during non-family day. Hope that helps!
