Services aux sourds et aux handicapés du Comic-Con

The largest panels (Hall H, Ballroom 20, Room 6BCF, Room 6DE, Room 6A, Indigo Ballroom, and the Masquerade) will already have ASL interpreters scheduled.

For a smaller panel, an interpreter may be requested at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A. As always, the scheduler will try to accommodate all requests.

Deaf seating areas are available in the larger Program rooms and have YELLOW-back chairs. These seating sections are reserved for deaf attendees only. A Deaf Services sticker is required to sit in these sections. Stickers are available at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A.

At the Deaf Services desk, you can also request a volunteer interpreter for a variety of other ASL needs (for up to three hours). Some examples are: interpreting for gaming or autographs, helping find a line, assisting in the Exhibit Hall, or at other Comic-Con-sponsored events.

If you are a daily volunteer and would like a volunteer interpreter to accompany you on your assignment, you can request one at the Deaf Services desk.

Nous ferons de notre mieux pour répondre à vos besoins en matière d'interprétation, mais il peut arriver que, pour des raisons indépendantes de notre volonté, nous ne soyons pas en mesure de répondre à toutes les demandes.

Comic-Con is not a cable operator, television broadcaster, satellite distributor, or multi-channel programming distributor, and therefore is not required to caption.

While Comic-Con presents the programming, it is each individual company that produces its respective program. Because the program is created by them, Comic-Con has no say in how those companies want their panel to be presented. While we welcome video content during panels to include captioning on a voluntary basis, that content is not required to be captioned by law.

Mobility Source is located in Lobby A.

A limited number of wheelchairs are available for loan, for up to three hours on a first-come, first-served basis. ID and a credit/debit card for the deposit are required.

A limited number of rental scooters are also available on a first-come, first-served basis. Rental requires ID and a credit/debit card for the deposit (fee TBD).

If you would like to reserve a rental scooter in advance, contact Mobility Source at (619) 234-9505 by July 8.

If you have an issue with your rental scooter or loaned wheelchair on-site, call Mobility Source at (619) 234-9505.

If you choose to transition from your cane, crutches, walker, or wheelchair to a scooter/wheelchair, we can store your device, however, we do not have storage facilities or charging stations for your powered mobility devices.

Dispositifs de mobilité traditionnels

Conformément à l'ADA, les personnes ayant des besoins en matière d'accessibilité seront prises en compte. Les participants ayant des problèmes de mobilité sont invités à apporter des appareils conçus principalement pour être utilisés par des personnes souffrant de handicaps liés à la mobilité.

All mobility devices must be operated safely, at the walking speed of those around you (4 mph or slower). VIOLATION OF THIS RULE COULD RESULT IN BEING REMOVED FROM THE EVENT AND HAVING YOUR BADGE REVOKED.

Autres dispositifs de mobilité non traditionnels à moteur

Due to legitimate safety concerns based on the high volume of slow-moving pedestrian traffic inside the convention center, all mobility devices must have three wheels or more to ensure stability. This requirement is for your safety as well as the safety of others. 
 
Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices (OPDMDs) with two or fewer wheels, including two-wheeled scooters, Segways, bicycles, electric motorcycles, and “hoverboards,” are not allowed in any public areas of the convention center, including the lobby. No fuel-powered devices are allowed. 
 
If you wish to bring a non-traditional OPDMD inside the convention center, you are strongly urged to contact Disabled Services in advance at cci-info@comic-con.org. Please include the following information:

1. Type d'OPDMD (y compris le fabricant et le modèle)
2. Dimensions de votre OPDMD (ne doit pas dépasser 32" de large x 52" de long x 84" de haut, cavalier compris) 
3. Poids de votre OPDMD (ne doit pas dépasser 450 livres)
4. Rayon de braquage de votre OPDMD (ne doit pas dépasser 5')
5. La vitesse maximale de votre OPDMD (et dispose-t-il d'un réglage intérieur pour limiter la vitesse à 4 mph ou moins ?)

Veuillez prévoir un délai de trois semaines pour que les services pour personnes handicapées répondent à votre courriel.

When bringing an OPDMD to the convention center, you must first take your device to Disabled Services in Lobby A so they may assess your device in person. They will verify the above requirements, and you will be asked to provide credible assurance* that the mobility device is required because of a disability.

If your OPDMD is allowed, it will be tagged as APPROVED by Disabled Services.
If your device is not allowed, we cannot store it for you, and you must remove it from the property.

Comic-Con reserves the right to restrict OPDMD use when, in our opinion, such limitation is required to protect all convention goers’ public health, safety, and welfare. The OPDMD shall not be operated in an unsafe manner or cause damage to convention center property. The OPDMD operator assumes all risks of operating the OPDMD on convention center property. Comic-Con does not represent that convention center property is safe for OPDMD use and does not assume any liability for the operation of the OPDMD. Certain risks are inherent in the use of OPDMDs. No OPDMD may be stationary less than 20 feet from any entrance or exit. The only exception is if foot traffic is at a standstill. *Credible assurance means a Disability Placard or Card presented by the person to whom it was issued and is in compliance with the state of issuance’s requirements for disability placards or cards, or a verbal statement that does not contradict observation.

We offer ADA seating accommodations in three specific ways:

• Wheelchair seating is available at the end of some aisles, next to a RED-back chair that is reserved for the companion attendant. The rest of your party must wait in the general admission line. We will do our best to seat parties with children together, but this may increase your wait time in line.

• Deaf seating areas are available in the larger rooms and have YELLOW-back chairs. These seating sections are reserved for deaf attendees only and feature ASL interpreters. A Deaf Services sticker is required to sit in these sections. Stickers are available at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A.

• Ambulatory Seating sections are available in all Program rooms. These seating sections are reserved only for people with limited mobility or those with a large service dog (service dog sticker required). Ambulatory seating sections have RED-back chairs.

Many disabilities do not require reserved ADA seating. Please do not sit in the above seating sections just because you have an ADA sticker. These sections are reserved only for the groups specified above.

All seating, including reserved ADA seating, is “as seats become available.” All event and Program rooms have limited capacity as set by the fire marshal. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee you access to any event if it has reached its capacity. We do not clear rooms between events. Disabled Seating volunteers will let you know when seats become available.

Certains participants handicapés peuvent avoir besoin d'un accompagnateur qui les soutient et les aide dans des activités telles que les repas, les toilettes, la surveillance, la communication ou les déplacements. L'accompagnateur n'est présent que pour aider le participant.

IMPORTANT! All attendants are required to purchase a badge either in the badge sale or on-site (the ADA does not require free admission for attendants). Your attendant will need a Comic-Con Member ID.

Pour plus d'informations, veuillez également consulter notre FAQ sur les sourds et les handicapés.

En vertu de l'ADA, un animal d'assistance est défini comme un chien qui a été dressé individuellement pour effectuer un travail ou des tâches pour une personne handicapée. La ou les tâches accomplies par le chien doivent être directement liées au handicap de la personne.

The ADA requires that service dogs be under the control of the handler at all times and be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work, or the individual’s disability prevents them from using these devices. 

You may get a service dog sticker from the Disabled Services Desk in Lobby A

Animaux de confort et de soutien

The San Diego Convention Center does not allow comfort/support animals. Only trained service dogs, as defined by the ADA, are allowed to assist and accompany a disabled owner. San Diego Comic Convention and the San Diego Convention Center follow all state and federal ADA compliance laws and directions.

Sur le portail des exclusivités

Pour garantir l'égalité d'accès aux exclusivités et aux signatures d'autographes, le Comic-Con utilise un processus de sélection aléatoire par le biais du portail d'exclusivités en ligne.

Watch the Toucan blog – the official blog of Comic-Con and WonderCon – and social media for announcements about the portal. When it goes live, log in to Comic-Con Member ID, and click the link under the Exclusives Portal in the main menu. Follow the instructions carefully. Once open, participants with an eligible badge may sign up for the opportunity to be selected for access to shop for exclusives from participating exhibitors or for a chance to take part in an exclusive signing.

• If you are randomly selected for an exclusive timeslot, you will be emailed a confirmation with a QR Code and further instructions on when and where to make your purchases.
• Si vous êtes sélectionné au hasard pour une séance de dédicace exclusive, vous recevrez par courrier électronique une confirmation avec un code QR et d'autres instructions sur la manière et le moment d'obtenir votre bracelet pour la séance de dédicace ce jour-là.

Remarque : la distribution aléatoire de billets à heure fixe élimine la nécessité de se précipiter sur le site. La participation est limitée aux jours où vous avez un badge, et vous aurez un certain nombre d'occasions de participer aux exclusivités offertes pour chacun de ces jours. Vous pouvez regrouper toutes vos demandes en un seul article ou les répartir. C'est vous qui décidez ! 

Special ADA wheelchair access points are at the discretion of the exhibitor. The line itself must be ADA-compliant but not every exhibitor will have a separate ADA line.

Please refer to the Comic-Con website and the Toucan blog for more details.
