Standard WonderCon Press Guidelines:

Each year WonderCon welcomes members of the media from all over the world. Members of the Press are admitted to WonderCon with a complimentary Press badge. This badge is good for entry to all of the events held at WonderCon (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 a press badge is a courtesy and the 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 Anaheim Convention Center and WonderCon, 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 WonderCon as well as permission of panel participants.

As always, the issuance of a Press badge is at the sole discretion of WonderCon.
