Important Information Regarding Programs and Autographs at Comic-Con
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. Most autograph signings are of a limited nature.
Your badge does not guarantee autographs at any event.

Standard Comic-Con Press Guidelines:
Each year Comic-Con International welcomes members of the media from all over the world. The only means for Press access consideration is to register before May 25, 2012. There will be NO ONSITE registration.
Members of the Press are admitted to Comic-Con with a complimentary Press badge. This badge is good for entry to all of the events held at Comic-Con (space permitting). The badge, however, does not allow for early entry into the Exhibit Hall, programming seminars, events or guarantees seating. Please keep in mind that press registration is a courtesy and your badge is non-transferable. You may not transfer or sell your badge. Unfortunately, a Press badge does not allow for plus ones, guests or child badges.
Because of a variety of rules governing the San Diego Convention Center and Comic-Con International, wheeled carts or hand carts are not allowed in the convention center. Additionally, camera crews, while free to roam the center, cannot set up equipment in a fixed manner (i.e. lights, chairs, etc.).
Video taping, filming and/or recording of any matter that will be used for commercial purposes (non-news) must first obtain written permission from Comic-Con International as well as permission of panel participants.
As always, the issuance of a Press badge is at the sole discretion of Comic-Con International.
