  • When you head to the convention center, make sure you’re familiar with this year’s new Harbor Drive Road Closures. There’s brand new rules relating to traffic and attendee access/security during San Diego Comic-Con this year, including who is allowed onto the sidewalks immediately surrounding the convention center. If you don’t have your badge yet, make sure you have your paperwork on hand.

  • Have you checked out our guides on Ballroom 20 and Hall H? You might want to, because you’ll be spending a lot of time in there…
  • And regarding Hall H, Toucan Trackers Hall H wristbands are back for those camping out in line. Read about the wristband policy and how it might affect you. There’s some RFID changes for 2018!
  • And then make sure you know where to line up for panels and the exhibit floor, with our Guide to Lines.

  • Planned your evenings outside of the convention center? If you have some time to fill, look no further than our 2018 Offsite Events list.
  • Need to know how to get around the Gaslamp and some of the areas just outside the San Diego Convention Center? Shawn Marshall of Parks and Cons walks you through in this year’s Outside SDCC Tips Visual Guide.

  • Check the weather. Pack and dress accordingly.
