First Look FAQs and Date Announcement

Comic-Con 2024 Returning Registration is the first of two attendee badge sales. It’s exclusively for those who attended Comic-Con 2023. The process involves a randomized virtual waiting room.

(Please read the “Who is Eligible?” question below.)

Returning Registration is open to all Comic-Con 2023 paid attendees. To check your eligibility:

1. Log in to your Comic-Con Member ID account. 
2. Go to your Account Dashboard.
3. Look for “Eligibility: Comic-Con 2024 Returning Registration” under your name, Member ID, and email.

The following member types are not eligible for Returning Registration and will have separate registration dates:

• First-time attendees
• Professionals
• Guests of professionals (paid or complimentary)
• Exhibitors (and exhibitor-purchased attendee badges)
• Retailers
• Volunteers
• Staff
• Retailers
• Complimentary passes
• Press

Returning Registration takes place in our Member ID Portal where the Queue-it virtual waiting room will open one hour before the sale begins. If it’s been a few years since you participated in one of our badge sales, you’ll notice it looks a little different! It’s now hosted by Configio, which offers an improved registration experience for our prospective attendees.

Yes! You can purchase badges for up to three people, including yourself. However, everyone you are purchasing for must also be eligible to participate in Returning Registration. You’ll need their Member ID and last name as it appears on their Member ID accounts (including special characters and punctuation, if applicable).

Check our Toucan blog next week for a special post on badge buying for friends or family. 

(Please read the eligibility questions above to determine your friends’ eligibility and encourage them to check their Member ID accounts.)

Children ages 12 and under are free with a paid adult! We’re proud to offer one of the most generous child badge policies in the industry. So bring your kiddos and start making memories at our next Comic-Con. Click here for more information on our Child Badge Policy.

Participating in Returning Registration does not guarantee you a badge, regardless of when you enter the waiting room. Due to high demand, there are more eligible attendees than available badges.

If you have a valid and confirmed Member ID, you are eligible to participate in Comic-Con 2024 Open Registration. Your participation in Returning Registration will not impact your eligibility for Open Registration.
