One of the more popular ways to get a free ticket is to become a San Diego Comic-Con volunteer. Volunteering has proven a very popular way for fans to attend the convention and help contribute to making it an awesome event for all of us. As a nonprofit organization, CCI depends on the contributions of its volunteer corps, over 3, in Volunteers are legacy, in that if you were one last year you get first dibs for the next year. This is hard to say, because CCI does not publish the number available for each badge type.

So, a couple of different combinations were allowed — either yourself and two others, or three people other than yourself. Either way, the buddy system is your friend. These panels take place in the many rooms inside, and now in venues surrounding, the San Diego Convention Center, and get the most media attention due to the many celebrity appearances and newsworthy surprise announcements that take place during them.
Also inside the Convention Center is the Exhibit Hall, hosting nearly a half million square feet of space housing booths from big Hollywood studios all the way down to mom-and pop comic vendors.

Closer to the event, CCI will also post an Autograph schedule , for various signings held by CCI note that this is not ALL autographs, as individual booths mostly run their own autograph sessions, and each booth has their own procedures. In addition to the official schedule, many of the exhibitor booths in the convention center may have their own autograph or giveaway schedules.
That information is released by each individual company, and the best way to keep track of those announcements is by following us, The San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog, because no one else is crazy enough to try to track all the different companies. In the past, folks generally did not require a badge to participate in an offsite event. But in recent years, it seems even SDCC outgrew the convention center and its normal surrounding venues and started occupying other hotels and spaces in the area, such as the nearby Horton Grand Theatre, both of which required a SDCC badge for entry.

There is, however, a deadline when refund requests need to be submitted by — for , this is May 13, If you get caught, you may be banned from the convention for life.
The hardest part of Comic-Con may be getting a ticket to attend at all, but securing a hotel is a very close second. They then offer these hotels to attendees in two different hotel sales — the first of which is called the Early Bird Hotel Sale , which launched in January for the con.
