Child Badge Policy
Comic-Con is proud to offer one of the most generous child badge policies in the industry. Children (age 12 and under) are free with a paying adult!
Children (age 12 and under) are free with a paying adult! You may register up to two (2) children per paid adult attendee on-site. Children do not need to (and should not) create a Comic-Con Member ID to receive a complimentary child badge. Children must be present to be registered for a badge, and adults will be required to provide emergency contact information for any child registrant.
Child badges are not registered in advance. Please visit the Registration area when you arrive on-site for more information.
Child-to-Junior Transition
To accommodate the transition from child (age 12 and under) to junior (age 13-17), we have set a static date to determine who is considered a child for Comic-Con 2025.
If they were at least 13 years old on July 31, 2024, they are not considered eligible for a child badge and must have their own Comic-Con Member ID created in order to purchase a badge to have the chance to purchase a badge for Comic-Con 2023.
If they were age 12 or under on July 31, 2024, they do not need a purchased badge for Comic-Con 2025. They may still attend as a child for free as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult.
