Shipped Items
You’ll receive your complete Comic-Con 2024 badge in a plain, nondescript package for safety. A Comic-Con 2024 badge is made up of two pieces only: the plastic badge holder with an RFID sticker attached and your daily or 4-Day paper name badge(s).
Your badge(s) will come preassembled with the paper name badge(s) inserted into the plastic badge holder. Please take a moment to remove your paper badges from the holder and confirm that the correct paper badge(s) are included in your badge order. Make sure to reinsert the paper badge(s) into the badge holder with the first day facing forward.
If you have multiple single-day badges, you must always display the current day’s badge in front. You will only have one RFID sticker for all associated paper badges.

I bought a badge from a “friend of a friend”/scalper/third-party/Craigslist. How do I verify if my badge is legit?
To put it simply, they are not. DO NOT purchase a Comic-Con badge or RFID sticker from a third party or scalper. Comic-Con badges are non-transferable and can only be purchased directly from an official Comic-Con source such as our Configio badge sales or Comic-Con Museum. All other badges sold on websites or through event/travel planning companies are not authorized by Comic-Con and are often counterfeit. Any badges or RFID stickers purchased elsewhere may have been disabled or otherwise not be valid, and you will not know until your badge is scanned once you arrive.
Scalped badges and RFID stickers are subject to cancellation.
