For those who missed out on badges to San Diego Comic-Con 2022, back when they sold in 2019, there is one door still open to you: Volunteering.

If you’ve been dreaming of being one of the most integral parts of San Diego Comic-Con – or if you simply want to yell “Walk, don’t run!” to Comic-Con attendees and have them actually pay attention – then listen up, because the volunteer interest list for San Diego Comic-Con 2022 is opening soon.

Volunteering is a way to give back to the con, as well as to receive a complimentary badge in exchange for volunteering for a shift (or shifts) at the convention. You receive a badge for each day you work, valid for that day.

Currently, Volunteer Registration for Returning volunteers is open, and you simply need to login to your Member ID and submit your information. You have until Friday, May 13, 2022 to do so. That registration event is only for those who have volunteered in the past.

For new volunteers, though, each year there is a “Volunteer Interest List”. This interest list does not guarantee that signing up will grant you a volunteer badge at Comic-Con. Instead, it’s simply your way of telling Comic-Con International that once volunteer registration opens up at some point for 2022, that you’d like to be notified to try for a remaining badge.

That sign-up for the Volunteer Interest List will happen on May 16 at 10AM PT.

After the Daily Volunteer Interest List signups close, Comic-Con 2022 Daily Volunteer Registration will open for those on the Interest List and any returning daily volunteers who did not register in the first round. Registration will remain open until the program’s capacity has been reached.

Will you be signing up for the Volunteer Interest List? Let us know in the comments.
