Everything Comic Con – Party Planning, Ideas, and Supplies
…
Comic-Con International roars back into the San Diego Convention Center on July 12-15, 2012, with Preview Night on July 11.
…
Important: Attendee registration has changed this year.
Everyone who intends to purchase, apply, or register for a Comic-Con badge must sign-up for a Comic-Con Member ID. This includes attendees, volunteers, professionals, trade professionals, and members of the press. Anyone may register for a Member ID, they will not run out. You will only need to register for a Member ID once. Please note that duplicate e-mail addresses are not allowed, and only one Member ID per person. Member ID registration will close February 28th, 2012. Emails will be sent out with information about when and how to buy tickets. Yes, we registered!
Volunteer Ideas
If you just have to be part of the scene and cant wait until next year consider contacting Comic-Con vendors to see if you can work / volunteer in their booth or better yet just come to San Diego and hang out outside the convention center – the Gaslamp Quarter really heats up in the evenings! It is rumored that last year more than 50,000 visitors came to San Diego without tickets just to be at the epicenter of fun. And finally, even if you can’t make the journey to San Diego to be a part of the largest pop culture convention on the West Coast, let Party Idea Pros help bring the festivities to you — Host your own Comic-Con Party!

Plan for your Comic Con Experience
Survival Guide – what to bring
- Digital Camera
(fully charged or with an spare set of batteries)
- pens
- Retractable Sharpie
- Comic books or magazines you would like signed
- A light snack and a bottle of water (this will allow you to avoid the over priced, mediocre food sold at the convention center)
- Your credit card and cash –just in case the credit card machines are down or you happen upon a vendor who only accepts cash
- Wear comfortable walking shoes (preferably flat and with good support. Slightly large is good –your feet will have room to swell. Consider bringing a second pair of shoes that fit slightly differently. The change will feel good. And just in case, throw in a pack of blister bandages
- Acetaminophen
- Pre-printed Address Labels — Why? To avoid having to fill out all the forms for newsletters, mailing lists, raffles, and contests. Yes — this is a brilliant idea! Generally Vistaprint‘s address labels are generally the least expensive around but you might also want to check out Tiny Prints, My Own Labels, and Checks Unlimited.
- Patience – remember many of the workers are volunteers who are trying their best but just might not have the information you are seeking. Chances are all your Comic Con dreams are not going to come true. If you live in the moment and adjust your expectations accordingly, you will vastly improve your overall conic con experience
