Servizi per non udenti e disabili del Comic-Con

Panels in Hall H, Ballroom 20, and Room 6BCF will already have ASL interpreters scheduled.
For panels in other rooms, an ASL interpreter may be requested at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A. As always, the scheduler will try to accommodate all requests.

Deaf seating areas are available in the larger Program rooms and have YELLOW-back chairs. These seating sections are reserved for deaf attendees requiring an ASL interpreter. A Deaf Services sticker is required to sit in these sections. Stickers are available at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A.

At the Deaf Services desk, you can also request a volunteer interpreter for a variety of other ASL needs (for up to three hours). Some examples are: interpreting for gaming or autographs, helping find a line, assisting in the Exhibit Hall, or at other Comic-Con-sponsored events.

If you are a daily volunteer and would like a volunteer interpreter to accompany you on your assignment, you can request one at the Deaf Services desk.

Faremo del nostro meglio per soddisfare le vostre esigenze di interpreti, ma occasionalmente, a causa di limitazioni al di fuori del nostro controllo, potremmo non essere in grado di soddisfare tutte le richieste.

Because each company is responsible for the program(s) they present, Comic-Con has no say in how those companies want their panel to be presented. While we welcome video content during panels to include captioning, it is the decision of the presenting company or artist on how they would like their program to be presented. 

Comic-Con is not a cable operator, television broadcaster, satellite distributor, or multi-channel programming distributor, and therefore is not required to caption.

Mobility Source is located in Lobby A.

A limited number of wheelchairs are available for loan, for up to three hours on a first-come, first-served basis. ID and a credit/debit card for the deposit are required.

A limited number of rental scooters are also available on a first-come, first-served basis. Rental requires ID and a credit/debit card for the deposit (fee to be determined).

The reservation phone number for rentals will be released as the convention approaches, so check back often.

If you choose to transition from your cane, crutches, walker, or wheelchair to a scooter/wheelchair, we can store your device, however, we do not have storage facilities or charging stations for your powered mobility devices.

Dispositivi di mobilità tradizionali

In conformità con l'ADA, i partecipanti con esigenze di accessibilità saranno accolti. I partecipanti con problemi di mobilità sono invitati a portare con sé dispositivi progettati principalmente per essere utilizzati da persone con disabilità motorie.

Tutti i dispositivi di mobilità devono essere utilizzati in modo sicuro, alla velocità di camminata di chi ci circonda (4 miglia orarie o meno). LA VIOLAZIONE DI QUESTA REGOLA PUÒ COMPORTARE L'ALLONTANAMENTO DALL'EVENTO E LA REVOCA DEL BADGE.

Due to legitimate safety concerns based on the high volume of slow-moving pedestrian traffic inside the convention center, all mobility devices must have three wheels or more to ensure stability. Trolleys, wagons, oversized strollers, rolling luggage, and handcarts are not allowed in the Exhibit Hall. This requirement is for your safety as well as the safety of others.

Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices (OPDMDs) with two or fewer wheels, including two-wheeled scooters, Segways, bicycles, electric motorcycles, and “hoverboards,” are not allowed in any public areas of the convention center, including the lobby. No fuel-powered devices are allowed.  

No OPDMDs are allowed without an individualized safety assessment. If you have an OPDMD for which you seek an individualized safety assessment, you should contact Disabled Services at least 30 days in advance at cci-info@comic-con.org. Please include the following information:

1. Type of OPDMD (including the manufacturer and model.
2. Dimensioni del vostro OPDMD (non deve superare i 32" di larghezza x 52" di lunghezza x 84" di altezza, incluso il cavaliere) 
3. Peso del vostro OPDMD (non deve superare le 450 libbre).
4. Raggio di sterzata del vostro OPDMD (non deve superare i 5')
5. 5. The maximum speed of your OPDMD (and does it have an indoor setting to limit the speed to 4 mph or slower?)

Please allow three weeks for Disabled Services to reply to your email. If you do not secure a safety assessment prior to the event, having an assessment done at the event will cause you delays.

When bringing an OPDMD to the convention center, you must first take your device to Disabled Services in Lobby A so they may assess your device in person and verify if you have obtained prior clearance. They will verify the above requirements, and you will be asked to provide “credible assurance”* that the mobility device is required because of a disability.

– If your OPDMD is allowed, it will be tagged as APPROVED by Disabled Services.

– If your device is not allowed, we cannot store it for you, and you must immediately remove it from the property. 

Comic-Con reserves the right to restrict OPDMD use when, in our opinion, such limitation is required to protect all convention goers’ public health, safety, and welfare. The OPDMD shall not be operated in an unsafe manner or cause damage to convention center property. The OPDMD operator assumes all risks of operating the OPDMD on convention center property. Comic-Con does not represent that convention center property is safe for OPDMD use and does not assume any liability for the operation of the OPDMD. Certain risks are inherent in the use of OPDMDs. No OPDMD may be stationary less than 20 feet from any entrance or exit. The only exception is if foot traffic is at a standstill. *Credible assurance means a Disability Placard or Card presented by the person to whom it was issued that is in compliance with the state of issuance’s requirements for disability placards or cards, or a verbal statement that does not contradict observation.

The ADA does not require reserved ADA seating for every disability. Please do not line up in the ADA line or sit in these seating sections just because you have an ADA sticker. 

ADA lines are not first-access lines. You will not be let in first. ADA reserved seating is not priority seating. You will not be seated first.

We offer ADA seating in three specific ways:

• Wheelchair seating is available for mobility scooters and wheelchairs at the end of some aisles, next to a RED-back chair that is reserved for your attendant. The rest of your party must wait in the general admission line. We will do our best to seat parties with children together, but this may increase your wait time in line.

• Deaf seating areas are available in the larger rooms and have YELLOW-back chairs. These seating sections are reserved for deaf attendees requiring an ASL interpreter. A Deaf Services sticker is required to sit in these sections. Stickers are available at the Deaf Services desk in Lobby A.

• Ambulatory seating areas are available in Hall H and Ballroom 20. These seating sections are reserved only for people with limited mobility, such as; those who use crutches, walkers, canes, have a prosthetic limb, can’t bend their leg, or for those with an over-sized service dog (service dog sticker required). Ambulatory seating sections have RED-back chairs.

In rooms where Ambulatory Seating is not available, those with limited mobility may sit in any seat.

We do not allow transitioning or self-transitioning from a mobility device to a seat in any Program room or event.

If you do not have mobility issues, or you do not need an ASL interpreter, you may sit in the general seating areas, accessible from the general line. 

All seating, including ADA-reserved seating, is “as seats become available.” All event and Program rooms have limited capacity as set by the fire marshal. Although your badge is required to attend all events, it does not guarantee access to any event if it has reached its capacity. We do not clear rooms between events. In the larger panels, Disabled Seating volunteers will let you know when seats become available.

Attendees with disabilities sometimes need an attendant who supports and helps them with activities such as eating, using the bathroom, supervision, communication, or getting from place to place. An attendant is present only to assist the attendee. 

All attendants are required to purchase a badge either in advance during our public badge sale, or on-site (2026 only). Your attendant will need a Comic-Con Member ID.

IMPORTANT! For Comic-Con 2027, you must purchase your attendant’s badge(s) in advance during one of our two online badge sales that will occur in late 2026.

No attendant badges will be sold on-site in 2027.

Misuse: The attendant’s role is support, not to attend as an extra guest. All badges are non-transferable and tied to photo ID. An attendant not accompanying the badge holder or using the badge independently may result in revocation of the badge.

Secondo l'ADA, un animale da assistenza è definito come un cane addestrato individualmente a svolgere un lavoro o un compito per una persona con disabilità. Il compito o i compiti svolti dal cane devono essere direttamente collegati alla disabilità della persona.

The ADA requires that service dogs be under the control of the handler at all times and be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work, or the individual’s disability prevents them from using these devices. 

Service dogs are required to behave and not bark or growl. They must not jump up on, or lunge at, anyone or other dogs. They must be housebroken. They are not allowed on chairs or tables. Corrective action must be taken if the service dog is behaving inappropriately, up to and including removal of the animal from the venue.

You may get a sticker for your service dog from the Disabled Services Desk in Lobby A

Animali di conforto/supporto

The San Diego Convention Center does not allow comfort/support animals. Only trained service dogs as defined by both the ADA and California law, are allowed to assist and accompany a disabled owner. San Diego Comic Convention and the San Diego Convention Center follow all state and federal ADA compliance laws and directions.

Sul portale delle esclusive

Per garantire a tutti lo stesso accesso alle esclusive e agli autografi esclusivi, il Comic-Con utilizza un processo di selezione randomizzato attraverso il portale delle esclusive online.

Watch the Toucan blog – the official blog of Comic-Con and WonderCon – and social media for announcements about the portal.

Special ADA wheelchair access points are at the discretion of the exhibitor. The line itself must be ADA-compliant, but most exhibitors will not have a separate ADA line, due to fire marshal restrictions. Do not start your own line.

Please refer to the Comic-Con website and the Toucan blog for more details.

For mobility-impaired attendees who reserved their hotel room through the onPeak/Comic-Con website reservation system and require special transportation, the ADA Hotel Shuttle operates between all official Comic-Con hotels and the convention center, by advance reservation only, on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the capacity of the vehicles. 

Shuttles can accommodate one scooter or wheelchair, and one companion only. 

You must make reservations in advance. The reservation phone number will be released as the convention approaches, so check back often. Sorry, this service is only available to those who registered their room through onPeak, from the Comic-Con website.
