Comic-Con 2023 Complimentary Passes
Welcome! You are just steps away from redeeming your complimentary pass code for a Comic-Con 2023 badge.
IMPORTANT! Please read the following before you proceed:
-
The 4-character prefix of your code determines which portal to use.
-
All codes are 20 characters in length.
-
You must complete the entire registration process below to receive a badge, so be sure to follow all the steps listed below.
-
If you are redeeming more than one complimentary pass, you will need to repeat the registration process for each one. Registering with your Member ID helps us tie these together.
-
Complimentary passes do not qualify you for Comic-Con 2024 Returning Registration.

Redemption Instructions
STEP 1:
Please look at the first four characters of your complimentary pass code and click the appropriate registration link below:
STEP 2:
Make sure you are ready to complete your entire registration process. Once you click “Redeem” on this step, you will not be able to restart the process later unless you click “remove”. Follow the instructions according to your code type:
- For 1-Day codes: First, enter your complimentary pass code and click “Redeem”, then choose from the available badge options.
- For 4-Day codes: First, choose from the available badge options and enter your complimentary pass code when prompted, then click “Redeem”.
PLEASE READ: Be sure to complete the ENTIRE registration process for each complimentary badge. If you redeem your code and exit before completing the registration process, your code is then marked as redeemed, it cannot be used again, and you will be left without a badge! We have limited availability before and during the show to provide assistance, so please be sure to complete your registration process.
STEP 3:
Choose between “Login with Member ID” or “Guest Checkout”. We strongly encourage you to log in with your Member ID to redeem your complimentary pass! Click here to create a Member ID.
STEP 4:
Verify your registrant information is correct, and click “Add to Cart”.
