San Diego Comic-Con Things to Know Before You Go

- 10 tips you should know before you go to San Diego Comic Con! I share things with you that I’ve learned over the last 20+ years of attending the San Diego Comic Con! #1 Lines! Line Con! Get in Line Early! Maybe the night before! Plan to stay in a room if you get in. Check twitter #sdcc, #HallH, #b20, etc. #2 Cosplay! lots of people come to Comic-Con in costume -- think about the heat before you go! And “weapons” have to be checked. The “Masquerade” is a costume stage show, and a ticketed event. It’s awesome.
3. Comics! Actually very little of Comic-Con is about comics now. Lots of pop culture, movies, video games… it’s big money!
4. Crowded! There’s over 100,000 people that attend this conference. It’s crowded! It’s really crowded! Prepare to feel like a sheep
5. Expensive! You’ll spend alot of money, particularly if you’re traveling. Admission, hotels, parking, food, goodies, toys, it all adds up.
6. Parking! Is mostly reserved ahead of time, if you didn’t reserve a spot, good luck. Take the trolley… traffic is awful.
7. Food! The best food is out in the Gaslamp district, the convention center food is awful. I like the Kebab Shop on 10th and Market. Also Lolitas Tacos by Petco Park. Bring Snacks.
8. More than the Convention Center! It’s at the Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, Omni, and all over the Gaslamp district. Lots of free events, and ticketed ones too. Even if you don’t a badge there’s lot of stuff downtown.
9. 24/7, there’s something going on all the time. It’s exhausting, the heat, the lines, lack of food, lack of sleep. So make sure to actually get sleep, and eat, or you’ll get sick. And please… shower!
10. Tickets! Not sold at the door. Sold online ahead of the event only. You can also volunteer to get in.

If you can’t afford it or you just don’t wanna pay, you can always sign up as a volunteer. You have to register almost a year in advance to do so but I think it’s worth it. 3 hours of volunteer service gets you in for the rest of the day. And you get priority volunteer registration for the following year so that means free Comic-Con badges as long as you volunteer. This is my second year as a volunteer.
Thanks for the tip on volunteering Myra!
Yellow Productions hope to see you there this year!
Just did for this year. One more month to go.
Yeap, time flying so get planing since i know they got map and info on sdcc website of where places are gonna be inside and who selling what. so be more coming as for info online as we get closer so hope u plan or u be going and gotta check the books u get to plan ur day before the place opens ea day.
Never been sounds like the way to go though cause bet that big of a event is lots of money do you get to take pictures or go to anything if you volunteer
Hahahaha poor lady chef, she was really enthusiastic and one second later you say food there is awful :(
R2Brie I thought the same thing! Its not personal. Nothing against her. Just the food xD
R2Brie I know right!! I was honking the same thing... that made me feel bad :(
I'm like oh no he didn't 😁
Yeah lmaoo
Comfortable shoes! Lots of walking. More than you anticipated
Yup!
When your broke, confused, and live super far away, but still want to go...
I've been trying to get a ticket for the past 10 years and never get "randomly" selected to purchase one.
CHAIR
most important thing
Very informative. I always wanted to go to Comic-Con but I don't anymore. LOL. Thank you very much for the video.
+Rob Vira Hah! Too many people? :)
Yellow Productions Yes. Too many people and the long lines.
+Rob Vira Yeah.. the lines are epic. Whenever people ask me what I want to see... my response is usually whatever has no line :)
Thanks for making this I. Was not prepared for this thank you man I've awlyas wanted to go but i never new this stuff thanks
My pleasure!
If you're there for multiple days, don't try to do the whole CON in one day. Spread it out so you don't exhaust yourself. Con is a marathon 🙂
Your videos are so good, don't stop making them.
+shampoo02 Thanks!!! :)
luckily the character i chose to cosplay wears short sleeves, and shorts
Good plan!
I can’t wait to come back to San Diego Comic Comic, btw, I’ve been to SDCC since 2015, but on the Outside, I haven’t been Inside, cause I didn’t have Tickets, it was Sold Out, and haven’t make it, but I took Photos w People Fans who wore Costumes. I had Fun, even I done it again 2 times, and the reason I’ve been 2 times, I live in San Diego. :)
Hopefully you have a ticket this time! :)
Hello, i know this is an old video so idk if youll read this. But i know nothing of comic con and i want to go to see a panel of a tv series i know will be there. Will the panel be in a room like hall H? I live on the other side of the US and i do not want to miss out on the panel because the line is too large. If it is in a hall, should i go early?
thinking of going, thx 4 tips ;))
do they accept cash as payment in comic con? Is there a walk in ticket to a panel? Is there a walk in ticket so you can enter to the comic con? How can you get a comic con badge? It’s a dream of mine to be in the sdcc but I have no idea what to do cause I’m from asia and thanks to this video I got some tips when my time comes when I can visit comic con
I’m looking into going next year and was wondering if they had meet and greets to meet creators or actors. I haven’t really seen anyone talk about meet people at comic con and was just something I wanted to look into
They have lottery process for signatures.. which is essentially the equivalent
4:44 the blue haired women was like oh he's recording! Hi!!!!!
Thanks Chris.
My pleasure Roy!
If I wanted to get into Hall H do you have a best time guess as to when to line up for Saturday’s panel? First timer. Thank you
Probably something like 10pm the night before if you want to make it in Saturday morning. Its ridiculous. You basically need to get a wristband when they hand them out
Rip I tried to get tickets online and didn't make it this year :/ maybe next year!
If you have military base access park behind the Commisary on 32nd St and trolley there
3 hours ago it was 4 on the morning than in san diego
Where do you suggest to stay for a low cost that is within walking distance or close by using local transport please?
Everything in downtown san diego is expensive... I'd suggest booking a hotel using the comic con hotel booking site.. that's usually the best pricing. For cheaper... look for a hotel that is on the trolley line. You can take the San Diego Trolley (light rail) right to the convention center
7:37 I agree to the Food at Comic Con, luckily I haven’t been inside Comic Con, and I thought I wanna try the Food there, I haven’t eat it, but yeah I think it is Disgusting, which the Secret Ingredients are Freaking School Lunches, and thank goodness it’s Expensive, cause I ain’t buying it either. What a Relief
This guy could be 20 or 40 I have no idea...
Hey, are you going to SDCC this year? I really enjoy your SDCC videos.
I sure am!
I've never been to San Diego comic con, but I wanna go in 2018 , so my question is, Do I have to have a badge? What's the significance of the badge? And what's the difference of me just getting a general admissions ticket instead of the badge? Do know much about it all , so if these seem like stupid questions I wouldn't know.
+Harley Morgenstern A badge is a ticket. There's no difference. SD Comic Con has already sold out for 2018.. so you've got to plan for 2019 now!
Too late for 2018, I have the same problem. I’m planning on going 2019, for the difference : there are no “ tickets “ badges are what you get to get in and you need them. If you want to go make sure you make a MEMBERSHIP ID awhile in advance of ticket sales, they’ll stop accepting membership ID randomly 1-2 months ahead of ticket sales. Well I hope I helped! Good luck
Thank you!
Where does one buy tickets? I'm really wanting to go next year!
Sign up for an account NOW on the San Diego Comic Con website, then they will send you an e-mail when they go on sale. It's sort of like a lottery system for tickets
ppl do strange things when they see a camera thats recording.. :p
+Frodokeuh They sure do! :)
@@YellowProductions So basically if you want to avoid the lines, you would need to have a Shape Shifting power like Mystique from X-Men, turn into a Fly & be a fly on the wall in the panel or so small & fly around the show floor? Point me in the direction of the nearest Nuclear Power Plant. I need to Mutate my Genes.
@@YellowProductions I have a question about Comic Con.
I would also think to bring comfortable shoes for all that walking and something to do during those long lines like bring a book and fully charged ipod/ipad to pass the time. Oh and bring a charger
Most definitely!
Good to know, thanks. I won’t go never ever.
Thanks can you just keep walking around I will go get my popcorn.
mmmmm
Do people sell there tickets outside the door I missed thebdrop
Would it be weird to dress up as Todoroki from Boku No Hero Academia..but not fully just with a wig and a sweater? I am not sure if it would be weird..Is there a certain area for like the anime part or is it all together or do you just have to keep your eyes out? I don't mean to sound stupid but I have never been to one before..
Dress up however you want.. costumes are so varied that really not much of anything is weird at Comic Con. And the anime stuff is mostly all over.. not really condensed to one section
Park at Qualcomm stadium and take the tram to the convention center
How much would you say does the average person spend? How much should i save before i go?
Depends how much stuff you buy really. I'd say there's no average because the range is huge
This is gonna be my first year going...I can't wait...
+Marcus Eagles Have fun!
Let’s team up lol for hall h Saturday
Marcus Eagles how do u get tickets?
KittyKat Lover it’s too late. You have to register months ago and purchase back in December.
walter flores that's sad..... :( oh well, thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the video I am gonna go in July 2020 not that long away I am going to cosplay as Princess Jasmine, or Marinette/Ladybug
Awesome. Have a great time!
Well Covid 19 took over huh
4:43 😅
3:44 Thumbs Up w GHOSTBUSTERS
Is it super hard to get a badge?? Also how do u even get them I’m still very confused :/
Also can you buy more than one if you get picked like if your in a group ??
+Devin Marie Comic Con has an online registration that is basically a lottery. I'd say about 1 in 10 folks that want tickets get them. Go to Comic Cons website and sign up for a User ID.. they will email you when tickets go on sale for 2019. 2018 is sold out
+Devin Marie Yes.. you can buy for 2 other people if you get picked
Where do you get tickets at?
From the San Diego Comic Con website.. but they are all sold for 2018. Try for 2019!
Yellow Productions ok thanks :)
Going in 2024
Nah, I rather not go. It seems like one of those places that there is so much of everything that in the end you end up suffering more than actual enjoyment.
Exactly. It hurts me just seeing the lines.
What do people do, wear depends under garments? Waiting for hours? People gotta pee!
Liam Nelson's son ?
Pure comedy
How come if it's sold out I can still buy tickets somewhere?
That would be likely people reselling their tickets
is that safe? someone is selling them for $1,457 for 4 days. Idk of that is a rip off?
Yes.. it's a rip off. And no. It's not safe :)
thank you so much. i wish i could go just sucks its not even a guarantee for 2019 as well
It's not guaranteed any year... you've just got to be persistent :).
You’re a comic guy too! Now way!
So basically like Disney land lmao lots of walkin
i want san diego comic con i like
Do I need a specific ticket to get into a specific panel?
Nope.. just need to get in line!
4:45
Dion Mango lmao
good to know.. man I hate lines! ..
So your saying never go to a comic con. Got ya.. sounds like a waste of money.
eh no thanks,id rather actually go to a comic con in my area, have fun and not fight to get into an expensive line just to say I did it,thanks for the info :) ill save my money for something that's not just out to rape your wallet
I agree. That place looks like a crowded torture that wastes time and money. Plus, I can get comics at smaller local conventions, my local comic shop, or online.
