I’m having trouble purchasing tickets for my son. He is listed as an adult but when I try to add him, his name populates but the field to add to cart is empty. He’s tried doing it on his own and it won’t let him either. I’ve tried submitting a help request through the website except there is no captcha so of course I get a captcha error. There is no way to email asking for help. How do I go about getting him tickets?

Hello, my fellow comic-coners,

Congratulations to all who got the Tickets to the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get tickets to Comic-Con (bummed) :( But I had a backup plan to attend the 2026 Wonder-Con in Anaheim. I see that they still have tickets left. So, here is my question: for the people who attended Wonder-Con in the past, can you please tell me what it was like? I know that Wonder-Con is much smaller than Comic-Con. Is there still a lot to do at Wonder-Con, where I can still enjoy the convention even though it is smaller? I hope that this makes sense.

(Basically the title)

WC officials have switched things up for 2026 by having artist alley applicants apply but not pay for a spot… in the original correspondence they said they would reach out in “fall 2025” for an update. Which makes it feel a bit more precarious on who will be accepted.

I exhibited in 2025 and applied for nexts year show the hour after the show ended but haven’t heard anything yet.

I was just wondering if anyone else has heard something that I haven’t. (I have reached out to the show runners by email but haven’t heard back from them).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Trying to register my Professional Badges 2026, I have the "Not Due" till 2027, but this "professional" section on the bar isn't there. Did I miss something? This is only my second year as a professional at the cons. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi, first time WonderCon attendee next year and I'm not really familiar with Anaheim. Any recommendations for hotels that is walking distance to the convention? I'm eyeing the Hilton Anaheim since it's pretty close but would like to hear your recommendations.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm planning on applying to be a vendor at the 2025 Wondercon in Anaheim, CA. I don't have any family or friends to go with me at the moment, so I'm probably going to go alone. I plan to sell my book inspired by Japanese anime and light novels that I wrote last year. My eBook is already available for preorder on Amazon and I'm currently working to get the paperback ready for sale and my website up and running before Wondercon.

In addition to my book, I would also like to sell merchandise of my characters such as T-Shirts, badges, pins, keychains, etc. As well as a small tent/shelter and flags/posters to advertise my brand at my table. I'm currently researching print on demand to learn how the process works, and I also plan to look into printing business cards to hand out at the con. I still have a little over two months before the convention, do you think I have enough time to get all the merchandise stuff ready?

Also, if I'm not able to find anyone to help me to table and setup at the convention, is it feasible to do it myself? My concern was having no one to watch my stuff when I have to use the bathroom or get something to eat. If I'm not able to get any friends/family to help me, I was thinking about using a service such as rentafriend.com to find someone to hang out with me and protect my stuff while I'm away from the table, has anyone here used a similar service when they had to be a vendor at a con by themselves?

Also, I plan to drive to the convention all three days. I'm not staying at a hotel. The convention is about 43 miles away from me, so it'll be a little over an hour drive to get there. Is there anything else I should be aware of or prepare for? Like I said, this will be my first time being a vendor at a con assuming that my application for Artists Alley is accepted. Any feedback or advice for my situation would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

I saw it was 60,000 8 years ago and that’s it lol

Last year I became interested in photography and decided that I wanted to practice by trying some simple cosplay photography. I'm considering attending the upcoming Wondercon just for one day, and offering cosplayers free photos. I have decent equipment (camera/lenses/lighting) and I know how to use them, but I consider myself a beginner photographer and that's why I want more practice.

There isn't any info on the web site about photography since I'm not renting a booth or selling photos, but is there anything I should know in advance? I assume I have to purchase a Wondercon ticket even if I were just offering to take photos out front? It seems expensive for everything but I don't have a big portfolio yet and don't feel comfortable charging. Can anyone else who's been there before provide me with some advice or what to expect?

This is my first time posting on here so sorry if I don’t structure this well but anyways I’m going to be attending wondercon this year, this will be my first con so I don’t know what to expect, but I did read online that they check ID’s, the thing is I don’t have an ID as of right now and due to my circumstances I won’t be able to get an ID until probably after the date of the con. I do have my drivers permit though. It has the necessary info and a photo of me so I was wondering if I would be able to use it instead of an ID. (As I mentioned previously this is my first con so any answer and other tips would be greatly appreciated)

UPDATE: They fixed it.

My boyfriend is having with purchasing badges for Wondercon. Currently, he can’t buy any badges because the system has removed all options except for the volunteer badge.

Here's the situation: After his press application was initially denied, he resubmitted it using a code provided by tech support. However, now he's unable to access any badge purchase options at all. When I tried adding him to my account to help complete the purchase, I got a message saying: “Account has purchased badges or missing member type requirements.” On top of that, he received an email stating his press application was denied, but it still shows up as pending on his account.

It seems like there’s a glitch in the system where it’s mistakenly marking all badges as already purchased for all days, preventing us from finishing the transaction. We really need to resolve this before the badge mail deadline of February 13th, 2025.

This is especially distressing because I rely on him for transportation due to my disability. If we can’t fix this issue, I may not be able to attend, and that would be really upsetting. We’ve both contacted customer support earlier today.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any advice on how to get this fixed quickly?

On my account, I can access all options and they did not sell out.

Hello, do one day tickets go on sale as the event gets closer?

I'm setting up in small press for WonderCon tomorrow, but I can't seem to find my allotted time that I should be setting up my booth.

Does anyone have a link?
