To attend Comic-Con 2026, you will need to participate in one of our two attendee badge sales events: Returning Registration or Open Registration. Given the limited availability of badges and the high level of interest, it’s important to keep in mind that obtaining a badge is highly competitive.

Our initial badge sale, Comic-Con 2026 Returning Registration, is exclusively for returning attendees from the last Comic-Con. Below, we’ve answered some of your key questions, with more details about our badge sales to follow in the coming weeks.

Comic-Con 2026 Returning Registration is the first of two attendee badge sales. It’s exclusively for those who attended Comic-Con 2025 with a paid attendee badge. The sale uses a virtual waiting room, where a randomization process takes place as the badge sale begins. Individuals will be moved into a 15-minute registration session in random order to purchase badges from the available inventory, until all are sold.

If you get the opportunity to purchase badges, you’ll be prompted to log in to your Member ID account to begin your registration session. Hosted by Configio, we’ve worked hard on an improved registration experience for all of our prospective attendees.

¿Puedo comprar insignias para amigos?

Sí, puede comprar acreditaciones para un máximo de tres personas, incluyéndose o excluyéndose a usted mismo. Everyone you are purchasing for must also be eligible to participate in Returning Registration. You’ll need their ID de miembro y apellido as it appears on their Member ID accounts (including all special characters and punctuation, if applicable).

(Por favor, lea las preguntas de elegibilidad anteriores para determinar la elegibilidad de sus amigos y anímeles a comprobar sus cuentas de ID de miembro).

¿Cómo funcionan las Insignias Infantiles?

Children (age 12 and under) are free with a paying adult! You may register up to two (2) children per paid adult attendee on-site. We’re proud to offer one of the most generous child badge policies in the industry. So, bring your kiddos and start making memories at our next Comic-Con! Click here for all information on our Child Badge Policy.

To accommodate the transition from child (age 12 and under) to junior (age 13-17), we have set a static date to determine who is considered a child for Comic-Con 2026.

  • If they were at least 13 years old on July 31, 2025, they must have their own Comic-Con Member ID created in order to have the chance to purchase a badge for Comic-Con 2026.
  • If your child was age 12 or under on July 31, 2025, they do not need a purchased badge for Comic-Con 2026. They may attend as a child for free as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult.

¿Tengo garantizado un distintivo?

Participar en la Inscripción Voluntaria no le garantiza una tarjeta de identificación, independientemente del momento en que entre en la sala de espera. Debido a la gran demanda, hay más asistentes que credenciales disponibles.

¿Puedo participar en la inscripción abierta?

If you have a valid and confirmed Member ID, then yes, you are eligible to participate in Comic-Con 2026 Open Registration. Your participation in Returning Registration will not impact your eligibility for Open Registration.
