I heard Ray Parks may be at Planet Comicon this year, is that true???
Thank you,
Brian
You mean Ray Park? Darth Maul himself? Anything could happen, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
It is highly unlikely at this point, but still possible. Thank you for your interest
Did you keep your hopes up? Because Ray Park WILL appear!
With the price of admission does it include autographs or is that an additional price?
The price of admission does not include autographs. Any fees for autographs are at the discretion of the celebrity and/or creator.
Can you bring your own items in to have signed?
Yes, you can bring in your own items to have signed, though most media guests will still charge for the autograph.
Will all the guests be there throughout both days, or is there somewhere we can see who will be there on which days so we can buy tickets accordingly?
All guests will appear both days unless otherwise noted.
Will you have Electric Scooters for rental?
Unfortunately, we will not.
Another question about the autograph fee thing. I have never been to a convention like this and didn’t even realize the celebs charged for that… After reading this, i did some googling, and found another convention website that listed the celebs autograph and photo op fees with their names. Would it be possible for you guys to add that info here so some of us might be able to plan our budgets?
We’ve found in previous years that media guests would prefer we not post such a list as their prices are always changing depending on the venue. They could well charge less than their usual rate at Planet Comicon, and we would hate to ruin that. You should feel safe budgeting between $20 and $40 for an autograph from any media guest.
this is going to be my first comic con and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what one is like
I’m not sure anyone could tell you exactly what Planet Comicon is like, but I think you can get an idea of what goes on by reading some of the entries in the Planet Comicontest. These are our fans, and these are their favorite memories of past shows. This year, everyone will get the opportunity to create new ones. Yourself included. Thanks for coming.
How soon can we expect a schedule of events?
Soon. But not soon soon.
As this is technically a Con, will there be many cosplayers, or is this a more subdued event?
Ocean’s 11 was technically a con, Melissa. Planet Comicon is a full-fledged comic book and pop culture convention, and we expect to be packed to the rafters with cosplayers. With two different costume contests (adults and children) and more than twice as much space, this event will be anything but subdued.
Whats the policy on bringing in food or drink?
No outside food or drink will be allowed, per Bartle Hall regulations. On the bright side, there will be plenty of great food and beverages available inside, including but not limited to Quizno’s, hamburgers, hot dogs, and pulled pork sandwiches.
Can you leave event a re-enter
You will be able to leave the event and re-enter. We’ll have all the details available for you soon.
Will you need anyone to help clean up/set up?
If you’re looking to volunteer, you should contact the show promoter, Chris Jackson, directly at chris@planetcomicon.com.
I didn’t even ask the question I came to the site to ask….fraking sleep deprivation….This is my first “Planet Comicon” event will it be all western comics/Geek Gear or will there be Manga/Anime/ (western or Japanese…though tactical JRPGs like Disgaea are my crack)video games?
You should find Japanese merchandise at the show, but it will primarily be geared toward US product.
Do you know if Bartle Hall will allow backpacks??? I’m bringing several of my old back issues to sell/trade, and I’d really rather not have to needlessly carry around a full cardboard comic box with me the entire time …
Backpacks are fine. Just remember to keep an eye on it. Or your back on it. Whatever. We can’t be responsible for lost or stolen items.
