Each Member ID must be set with the account holder’s membership type. Membership types include:
- Junior (age 13-17)

You will not be eligible to participate in any registration event until your Member ID account is complete.
Email Communication

On the same page, there are three additional opt-in preferences you can customize.
By signing up for a Comic-Con Member ID, you may receive official updates, important registration announcements, access to selected sales, and other information about attending Comic-Con, WonderCon, and related conventions and events. You may also receive emails from our registration partners regarding Comic-Con, WonderCon, or related convention and event registration, and from our hotel reservation company regarding hotel information for Comic-Con, WonderCon, and related conventions and events.
Order History
Access your order history by logging in to your Member ID account and clicking “My Orders”. Anything you purchase, apply for, or register for is considered an order.
Shipping Address
If you register for a badge that is eligible for advance shipping, it will be sent to the “Primary Shipping Address” that is on file in your Member ID account as of the badge shipping deadline. 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”.
We cannot ship to international or APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
Purchasing For Others
When you participate in a registration event that allows you to register others, you will need their Member ID and last name. You must enter their last name exactly as it appears on their Member ID account. This includes special characters, suffixes, and punctuation.
Children (12 and under)
Children (ages 12 and under) may not register for a Member ID. You may register a child on-site for free at the Registration Area as long as that child is accompanied by a registered adult badge holder.
Children must be present to be registered for a badge, and the registered adult badge holder will be required to provide emergency contact information for any child registrant. Please see our child badge policy for more information.
Families
Families can not share a single Member ID account. Each person in your family that is at least 13 years of age and wishes to attend one of our events must have their own Member ID registered with a unique email address.
If someone in your household needs to create a Member ID account, please make sure you are logged out of your own Member ID account before they do so. We strongly recommend you follow along with our step-by-step instructions in the “How To Register” section below. Your Member ID account must be complete to participate in registration events.
Payment Method
Saving a payment method to your Member ID account is not required. However, it does save you time if you participate in a badge sale that has a time limit to register your badges. Every second counts! To save a credit or debit card to your account, log in to your Member ID account, select “My Payment Methods”, then click “+ Credit card”.

2. Choose a Member ID you can remember!
It’s important to remember the Member ID you choose. Not only is your Member ID required to participate in badge sales, but it may also be used as a form of verification when you’re on-site or corresponding with customer service. If someone wants to purchase a badge for you, they’ll need your correct Member ID.
3. Provide a long-term email address.
Register your Member ID account with an email address that you check regularly. Important registration information such as badge confirmations and announcements are sent via email so long as you have opted in.
4.Complete the rest of your account information accurately.
If someone purchases a badge for you, they’ll need your Member ID and last name. If your last name includes any spaces or special characters, they will need to enter your last name exactly as it appears on your Member ID account. Please make sure your information is correct before clicking “Next”.
5. Verify your email address.
On the next page, you’ll be asked to verify your email. Check your email inbox, or SPAM folder, for an email with the subject line: “*Action Required* Member ID Account Email Verification”. Enter the verification code found in that email, then 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. Member ID registration does not reserve or guarantee you a badge. 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. 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 handling fee, at SDCC’s sole discretion.

Will I need to sign up for a Member ID again next year?
No. You only need to sign up for a Comic-Con Member ID once. If you wish to purchase a badge for Comic-Con 2023 and beyond, you will use your same Member ID.
I share an email address with my partner or family member. Why do we each need a unique email address?
By requiring a unique email address for each Comic-Con Member ID, our goal is to increase the speed of the online registration process, prevent duplicate registrations, and prevent scalpers from reselling badges at inflated prices. Our hope is that the Member ID system will allow more fans to purchase badges for this very popular event.
Are there a limited number of Member IDs available?
Anyone (ages 13 and up) may register for a Member ID – they will not run out. Please note that duplicate email addresses are not allowed and each person may only have one Member ID. Duplicate Member ID registrations will be automatically deleted. If it is found that you have registered for more than one Member ID, San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) reserves the right to automatically cancel all of your Member ID accounts and refund, less a 10% processing fee and the handling fee, at SDCC’s sole discretion, any badge purchases made by those accounts.
Why haven’t I received emails from Comic-Con?
If you are not receiving emails from Comic-Con, it is possible that you have not opted in to email communication. To receive email notifications, log in to your Member ID account and click “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. Remember, if you do not select “Yes” or do not check an OptIn box, you will not receive correspondence from that source.

Not all persons eligible to purchase a badge will be able to purchase a badge.
