KEVIN SMITH COMING TO KANSAS CITY!

Did that headline get your attention?  I thought it might.

While Kevin Smith won’t be attending Planet Comicon this year (cross your fingers for 2014), he will be in the Kansas City area on May 17th as part of his cross-country tour for Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie!

Not only will attendees get a chance to watch the all new cartoon movie, but afterward, they’ll be treated to a Q&A session featuring both Kevin and Jason Mewes.  Tickets are available for purchase now directly through The Midland’s box office here.

But that’s not the only way to make sure you catch the show.  We’ll also be giving away pairs of tickets through Twitter, so be sure to follow Planet Comicon at @planet_comicon for more details in the near future.

ADVANCE TICKET UPDATE

We knew you were excited.  We just had no idea how excited.  Advance tickets went on sale on Saturday, and the numbers don’t lie.  With your help, we’re on track to make this the largest Planet Comicon ever!

Not only are we moving into a new facility that has twice the space, but we’ve got projects in the works that should have you talking about the show for months afterward.  If you’ve not already gotten your advance tickets, you can purchase them at the link below.  Weekend adult passes are selling at a discounted rate, but you can also get your single day or youth (ages 11-15) passes early as well.

Cut-off for the purchase of advance tickets will be Sunday, March 17th, so don’t delay.

ADVANCE TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

Advance tickets for Planet Comicon 2013 are now available for sale.  Please follow the link below in order to make your purchase.

Advance tickets will be sold until midnight on Sunday, March 17th.  After that time, they will only be available for sale at the event.

Weekend passes for adults are being sold at a discounted rate of $35.00.  All other prices will be identical to on-site pricing.

Advance tickets are available for sale ONLY through Paypal.  Paypal accepts all major credit cards.  If you do not already have a Paypal account set up, you will need to create one in order to make your purchase.

Advance tickets will ALSO be made available shortly through the event facility and local Kansas City area retailer(s).

Online advance tickets will be sold on a “will call” basis.  You WILL NOT be sent a physical ticket.  You WILL receive an e-mail confirmation.  There will be a staffed will call window all weekend long at Bartle Hall for ticket collection.  We are also looking at making available early pickup locations prior to the show.

All ticket sales are final.  Refunds will occur only in the event of Planet Comicon’s cancellation, and Planet Comicon WILL NOT be cancelled.  If your attendance is dependent upon a single guest, it may be wise for you to delay your purchase.  Unexpected things–such as life–occur, and the show must go on!

Tickets will ALWAYS be available at the door.

TICKETING INFORMATION

All right.  You’ve been incredibly patient with us in regard to tickets.  For the most part.  While we don’t yet have all the details ironed out in regard to the sale of advance tickets, we do have information in regard to ticket prices for Planet Comicon 2013.  Those prices are as follows:

$25 for Saturday only

$20 for Sunday only

$40 for full weekend

Free for ages 10 and under

$10 for full weekend for ages 11 to 15

Children under 10 get in free

At this time, we are working toward securing a limited number of tickets for advance sale both through this website as well as in select Kansas City market locations.  We will post all the details as soon as they are made available.  As a reminder, all ticket sales are final, and tickets will always be available at the door on the dates of the show, April 6th and 7th.

Again, thanks for your patience, and we look forward to seeing you at our largest show ever.

NEW LOCATION

The rumors are true.  Planet Comicon 2013 is moving to a new venue, the Kansas City Convention Center.  Long-time residents of Kansas City may still refer to the location as Bartle Hall, but they are one and the same, and in close proximity to a huge entertainment center known as the Kansas City Power & Light District.  Not only does the area lay claim to some of the city’s best restaurants and night clubs but a brand new Alamo Drafthouse theater as well.  If you thought your Planet Comicon weekend was fun before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The dates for next year’s show are Saturday, April 6th, and Sunday, April 7th, so start making your plans today.

Additional information–including guests and advanced ticketing–will be posted as it becomes available.  Be sure to sign up as a fan and check back at this site on a regular basis for the latest details.

WELCOME

You’ve been clamoring for a new site, and we’ve obliged.  We are currently in the process of moving all the information from the old site, so be sure to follow us by e-mail.  We’ll keep you up to date with all the latest and greatest details regarding next year’s Planet Comicon 2013.
