You must agree to the Standard Comic-Con Press Guidelines before proceeding

Each year Comic-Con International welcomes members of the media from all over the world. The only way to obtain a Comic-Con 2012 press badge is to submit an online APPLICATION before May 25, 2012 and mail VERIFICATION MATERIALS FORM and VERIFICATION MATERIALS postmarked by May 29, 2012. Again, there will be NO ONSITE registration.

Comic-Con 2012 press are provided with a complimentary press badge. A Comic-Con 2012 press badge is good for entry to all of the events held at Comic-Con (space permitting). The Comic-Con 2012 press badge, however, does not allow for early entry into the Exhibit Hall, programming rooms, events or guarantees seating. Please keep in mind that press registration is a courtesy and your Comic-Con 2012 press badge is non-transferable. You may not transfer or sell your Comic-Con 2012 press 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.

 I agree.
