The excitement of Hall H is like no other, but there are some important things to keep in mind before you head over. For safety reasons, Comic-Con does not allow early line-ups in Plaza Park or nearby areas until the official set-up is complete. This includes tents, canopies, and stanchions, which are estimated to be in place by Wednesday, July 23. That timeline may shift, so please be patient. Anyone in the area before everything is ready will be asked to leave, regardless of when they arrived.

Sa pagsisikap na mapaunlakan ang maraming tao hangga't maaari na may pinakamaliit na halaga ng epekto para sa lahat, mangyaring sundin ang mga patakaran sa ibaba:

  • Bawal ang camping.
  • Absolutely no tents, canopies, inflatables, cots, beds, furniture, oversized coolers, space heaters, large fans, large umbrellas, chaise lounges, open flames, or anything of a similar nature of any kind as determined by the San Diego Convention Center.
  • You are permitted to have one chair per person of relatively normal size. You may also use a blanket or sleeping bag, provided it is only taking up the space of one person.
  • Hindi ka maaaring mag iwan ng mga personal na gamit na walang bantay (upuan, sleeping bag, payong, atbp.)
    bilang isang placeholder sa pila.
    Someone must be present at all times. For those with wristbands. you can hold space for no more than 2 other wristband holders.

No facilities or services will be available in Plaza Park, so plan accordingly.

Restroom access will be available in Lobby G of the convention center from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM each night starting Wednesday, July 23. No other access to facilities will be available.

Please be kind and respect the grounds by disposing of trash in the appropriate receptacles. Please do not leave any trash or waste behind.


First-Seating Wristbands for Hall H

First-Seating wristbands are returning for Hall H and will be handed out the night before. These wristbands give you flexibility to plan your experience. You can wait overnight if getting a front section seat is important to you, or you can return in the morning for general seating and still know that you have a spot waiting for you.

To find out how to get a wristband and where to line up, check the Events Quick Guide. You will receive a copy when you pick up your bag and lanyard in the Sails Pavilion. If your badge was mailed to you, you can head straight to the Badged Member Bags, Books, and Lanyards line located near the Ballroom 20 Lobby by entering through Lobby E or the Lobby G escalator.


Paano Gumagana ang Unang Pag upo ng mga Wristbands

To get first seating in Hall H, make sure to pick up your wristband the evening before. For example, if you are hoping to attend a Saturday panel in Hall H, you would need to get your wristband on Friday night.

Once your badge has been verified, Line Staff will give you a wristband and ask you to attach it securely to your wrist. When you return to enter Hall H, you will need to show your wristband and scan your badge to be admitted.

Kapag natanggap mo ang iyong pulseras, mayroon kang tatlong mga pagpipilian:

1. You may leave, get a good night’s rest, and return to the end of the wristbanded line before 7:30 AM. Please keep in mind that you must be there before 7:30 AM.

2. You may leave someone in your group to hold your place in line and return before 7:30 AM to meet them. You will be allowed to join them in line as long as you have your matching wristband. Please keep in mind that the line is grouped in lettered color “zones.” If your group wishes to enter together, all members of your group will need to get wristbands at the same time, so plan accordingly.

3. You may immediately line up for the following day’s first panel in Hall H.

Kung nagpasya kang umalis sa linya sa anumang punto, maaari kang bumalik sa dulo ng linya ng wristbanded bago ang 7:30 AM at makakuha pa rin ng entry sa unang panel ng araw sa Hall H. Hindi ninyo kailangang maghintay magdamag! Kung bumalik ka pagkatapos ng 7:30 AM, kailangan mong pumunta sa dulo ng linya ng Hall H at maaaring hindi makatanggap ng unang upuan.

Tandaan: Hindi ka maaaring mag iwan ng mga personal na gamit na walang bantay (mga upuan, sleeping bag, damit, atbp) bilang iyong placeholder sa linya. Someone must be present at all times. You can hold space for yourself and up to 2 other wristband holders 13 years old or older, and up to 2 additional children 12 years old or under with a child badge.


Where and How to Pick Up First-Seating Wristbands

Ang mga pulso ng Unang Upuan ay ipamamahagi sa harap ng Next Day Line para sa Hall H. Ang mga oras ng pamamahagi ay nag iiba bawat araw. Mangyaring tingnan ang mapa sa itaas para sa lokasyon ng Next Day Line (malapit sa berdeng bandila).

To receive a wristband you will need your Comic-Con 2025 badge or barcode confirmation. Please note that IDs will be cross-checked, so the name on your photo ID must match the barcode confirmation.

MGA PETSA / ORAS NG PAMAMAHAGI

  • Miyerkules, Hulyo 23: Ang pamamahagi ng wristband ng First Seating para sa mga panel ng Huwebes sa Hall H ay magsisimula sa 7:30 PM sa pangkalahatang linya ng Hall H sa Plaza Park.
  • Huwebes, Hulyo 24: Ang pamamahagi ng wristband ng First Seating para sa mga panel ng Biyernes sa Hall H, magsisimula sa 8:15 PM sa unahan ng Next Day Line.
  • Friday, July 25: Unang Pag upo wristband distribution para sa Sabado panel sa Hall H ay magsisimula sa 7:00 PM sa unahan ng Next Day Line.
  • Sabado, Hulyo 26: Unang Pag upo wristband distribution for Sunday panels in Hall H will begin at 7:15 PM sa unahan ng Next Day Line.

Mangyaring Tandaan: Ang pamamahagi ng wristband na Una sa Pag upo ay magpapatuloy sa buong gabi hanggang sa maipamahagi ang lahat ng wristbands o hanggang 7:30 AM sa susunod na araw.

To address front-of-line crowding issues, our Line staff will begin distributing “line” wristbands to the first portion of the line each day to assist our staff in keeping track of the number of people in line at that time. This “line” wristband alone will not allow access into Hall H, it is only being used to assist our staff in monitoring the front of the line and will be replaced with the First-Seating wristband as they are distributed in the evening. These “line” wristbands will allow the wearer to save space for up to an additional 2 people as described above, until the First-Seating wristbands are distributed.

Remember, you do not need to wait in line overnight to receive first seating. Your wristband ensures first seating for the first panel of the day in Hall H. You are welcome to have someone hold your place in line. Please rejoin them prior to 7:30 AM. Otherwise, if no one is holding your spot, simply join the end of the wristbanded line before 7:30 AM.

Ang mga pulso ng Unang Upuan ay gagamitin lamang para sa unang panel ng araw sa Hall H. Kapag ang linya ng pulseras ay ipinaalam sa bulwagan, ang mga indibidwal na walang pulseras ay papayagang pumasok hangga't pinapayagan ng espasyo.


Mga FAQ

Para saan ang wristband na First Seating

First-Seating wristbands give you first seating for Hall H and help ensure that people are not cutting in line. Gone are the days where you might go to sleep as number 100 in line, only to wake up and find yourself bumped to number 500 because others had saved spots for their friends. They also allow you to skip the overnight wait if seat placement is not a priority to you.

Ano ang ginagawa ng pulso ng Unang Upo

Ipinapakita nito ang aming Line Management team, at ikaw, na isa ka sa mga taong papasok sa Hall H para sa unang panel ng araw. Matatantya mo kung sulit sa iyo ang paghihintay sa pila o hindi, o kung dapat mong gugulin ang iyong mahalagang oras sa ibang lugar!


Paano naman ang linya ng upuan na may kapansanan

First-Seating wristbands will be distributed to the disabled seating line. Please visit Deaf and Disabled Services in Lobby A for detailed information on ADA First-Seating wristbanding.

Pwede ba akong umalis sa pila at bumalik Nakapila ba ang First Seating wristband sa lugar ko

Having a First-Seating wristband does not hold your exact place in line. If you leave the line, someone in your group must remain to hold your spot or you will lose it. You must return to your group prior to 7:30 AM or you will be sent to the back of the entire Hall H line, even if you have a First-Seating wristband.

Kung hindi na ako makasama ng kaibigan/kapamilya ko sa paghihintay bago ipamahagi ang mga pulso ng Unang Upuan, pwede ba akong mag ipon ng spot para sa kanila sa pila

While we do not recommend saving space in line, those waiting for First-Seating wristbands may save space for up to two others who are 13 years of age or older, as well as up to two additional children aged 12 or under with a child badge. Any additional people beyond those 2 will be asked to leave and join the end of the Next Day Line. You may not collect wristbands for members in your party who are not there in person. Any person wishing to receive a First-Seating wristband must be there in person at the time of distribution.

Kung may wristband ako, magdecide na huwag maghintay ng magdamag, at wala akong kaibigan na humawak sa spot ko, makakapasok pa rin ba ako sa first panel

Oo! Basta bumalik ka prior to 7:30 AM makakatanggap ka muna ng upuan. Ikaw ay gayunpaman, ay nasa dulo ng wristbanded linya.

Paano naman ang mga anak ko

In order for your child to receive a First-Seating wristband, they must be present with you at the time of distribution. Once they have a wristband, they may leave and you can save their spot in line, but they must be present when you get your wristband. Children must be badged to enter Hall H, please see our child badge policy.

Kung lahat ng wristbands na First Seating ay ipinamamahagi, ano ang ibig sabihin nun para sa akin

If you don’t have a First-Seating wristband, it means you’re not likely to get into the first panel of the day – that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, though! The great thing about First-Seating wristbands is you can see exactly how far you are from the last attendee with a wristband and decide if you want to wait or not.

Am Garantisadong mauupuan ako sa Hall H kung may wristband ako na First Seting?

First-Seating wristbands are issued to ensure that the holder receives first seating for Hall H, barring any unforeseen circumstances. We anticipate that all holders of wristbands will be able to get seating for Hall H if you follow the guidelines above. Comic-Con reserves the right to refuse entry to any person for any reason.

Pwede ko bang ibigay sa iba ang wristband ko sa First Seating kung magbabago ang isip ko na pumasok sa panel

Hindi. While we appreciate your willingness to share, we ask that you do not give away your wristbands to allow those who have spent the time waiting in line the chance to enter.

Darating ang kaibigan ko mamaya para pumila sa akin. Maaari ba akong makakuha ng karagdagang First Seating wristband?

To keep things as fair as possible, wristbands will only be given to those people present in line, while supplies last. Anyone who comes later will have to go to the back of the line. One wristband per person.

Paano gumagana ang pag-save ng spot in line?

Ang Next Day Line ay ipapangkat sa "lettered color zones," at ang kaukulang mga pulso ng kulay ay ipapasa para sa bawat zone. Kung ang iyong grupo ay hindi magkasama sa oras ng pamamahagi, hindi ka maaaring makatanggap ng parehong kulay na pulso ng Unang Upuan, at hindi ka na makakapasok nang magkasama bilang isang grupo. Halimbawa, kung malapit ka sa harap ng linya at nakatanggap ng pulang wristband na First Seting, ngunit ang iyong iba pang mga kaibigan na mas malayo sa likod ay nakakakuha ng mga asul na pulseras, papayagan lamang silang pumila sa asul na seksyon at maaaring hindi sumali sa iyo sa pulang seksyon. Sa madaling sabi, kung nais mong magkasamang pumasok ang iyong grupo sa bulwagan, tiyaking magkadikit at sabay sabay na makuha ang iyong mga pulso ng Unang Upuan.

Meron na tayong mga wristband na First Seting, ilan kaya ang pwede nating hawakan ng space

You may hold a place for up to 2 other wristband holders in line overnight, and they may return to meet you in the same spot before 7:30 AM as long as they have the correct color wristband for your group. Additional people beyond those 2 will be asked to rejoin at the end of the wristbanded line.

Maaari ba akong makapasok sa unang panel ng araw sa Hall H nang walang wristband na First Seating

Gusto naming maraming tao ang mag-enjoy sa mga panel hangga't maaari, kaya kung lahat ng may wristband ay nakapasok na sa Hall H at may natitira pang upuan, papasukin namin kayo!

May mga tanong pa po ako, ano po ba ang dapat kong gawin

Lagi kaming masaya na sagutin ang anumang tanong na maisip ninyo! Kung mayroon kang karagdagang mga katanungan bago ang kaganapan, mangyaring gamitin ang aming Contact form. Kung hindi man, tanungin lamang ang alinman sa mga Hall H Line Staff sa site sa light green shirts.


Ang Pinong Print

Ang mga wristband na unang nakaupo ay inilalabas upang ang may hawak ng pulseras ay magkakaroon ng unang upuan para sa Hall H (na hindi inaasahan ang anumang hindi inaasahang mga pangyayari). Inaasahan namin na ang lahat ng mga may hawak ng wristbands ay makakakuha ng first panel seating para sa Hall H kung susundin nila ang mga alituntunin sa itaas. May karapatan ang Komik Con na tumanggi sa pagpasok sa sinumang tao sa anumang dahilan.

Wristbands cannot be traded or sold. By receiving a wristband, you agree not to sell, trade, transfer or share your wristband. In the event that San Diego Comic Convention/Comic-Con International (SDCC) determines that you have violated this policy, SDCC has the right to cancel your badge(s) with no refund.


Comic-Con reserves the right to change any time or procedure for wristband distribution for any reason. Safety concerns, and requests from the San Diego Convention Center, fire marshal, police, city, or port may require we change these published plans.
