Badge Info

The first step in the badge sale process is to create your Comic-Con Member ID account! A valid and confirmed Member ID is required to participate in badge sales. 

If you do not have a Member ID account, please follow the steps below. Member ID registration is free of charge and only takes a few minutes! Only one Member ID is required per person. Please do not attempt to create multiple Member ID accounts.

1. Click here to create your Member ID. Access the Member ID Portal at any time by clicking the Member ID link in the upper right-hand corner of the Comic-Con website.
2. Choose a Member ID that you can remember! You need your Member ID to participate in badge sales. 
3. Provide a long-term email address to receive important registration information.
4. Complete the rest of your account information accurately.* 
5. Click ‘Next’.
6. Verify your email. Enter the verification code that was sent to your registered email address, and click ‘Verify’.

Congratulations! You now have your very own Comic-Con Member ID account.

Please follow all the steps above to complete your account creation. You will not be eligible to participate in any badge sale until your Member ID account is complete. Your chance of purchasing badge(s) is not influenced in any way by the information you provide during Member ID registration. Member ID registration does not reserve or guarantee you a badge. Duplicate Member ID registrations will be automatically canceled. If badges were already purchased by the member, they will be automatically canceled, less a 10% processing fee and the $10 handling fee, at SDCC's sole discretion. 

*Purchasing For Others
A unique Member ID is required for each badge purchased. To purchase a badge for others, you need the Member ID and last name of each person as it appears on their Member ID account. Some badge sales require you to complete your purchase within a time limit, so be sure to have this information on hand before you start the purchase process. You don’t want to miss out on purchasing your badge or a badge for someone else because you didn’t have their correct Member ID information ready. 

*Membership Type
 Membership types include: Junior (age 13-17), Adult, Active Duty Military, and Senior (60+). 

Everyone (excluding children) that wants to attend Comic-Con must have a valid and confirmed Comic-Con Member ID account. To prevent scalping, badges for Comic-Con are non-transferable. Each badge features a unique barcode and RFID sticker registered to the badge holder. Security checks will be performed to ensure that only the person listed on the badge is admitted to the event using that badge. The name on your badge must match your photo ID.

If you plan to buy badges for other people, they each need to have their own confirmed Comic-Con Member ID account. You will need their last name and Member ID in order to purchase badges on their behalf, and they must be eligible to participate in the sale. Resale of badges is strictly prohibited and will result in the cancellation of your entire badge order.

As part of Comic-Con’s commitment to eradicate badge scalping, Comic-Con permits the purchase of a maximum of one badge type per person. Any duplicate orders will be automatically canceled. In the instance of a duplicate order being canceled, the purchaser will be refunded less the 10% processing fee and the $10 handling fee, at SDCC's sole discretion.

Please keep the shipping address on your Member ID account current. To add or update your shipping address, log in to your Member ID account and click "My Addresses". 

If your primary address is where you want badges mailed, click "Edit", check the box next to "Primary Shipping Address", and click "Save".

If your primary address is correct but you want your badges to be mailed elsewhere, click "+Add Address". Enter your shipping address information, check the box next to "Primary Shipping Address", and click "Save".

Please Note: We cannot ship to international or international APO/FPO/DPO addresses.

Data collected during registration is retained by Comic-Con to enable you to purchase badges for future Comic-Con events. Retained information will also be used to inform you of registration information related to your badge purchase and events run by Comic-Con.

Customize your opt-in preferences by logging in to your Member ID account and clicking "My Account Information". If you want to receive important registration information, select "Yes" from the dropdown for “Do you want to receive marketing emails?”. On the same page, there are three additional opt-in preferences you can customize.

All international badge buyers must register in the same manner as United States attendees. International badge purchases can only be made using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.

Badges cannot be shipped to an international address. International orders must be picked up on-site.
