Stay in the Loop: Stay connected by following us on social media for up-to-the-minute updates, contests, guest reveals, and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks. Think of it as your live feed to everything happening at the show.

Essentials Checklist: Your ticket confirmation, a trusty water bottle, extra battery power, cash, and autograph items—or pick up cool gear on-site.

Master the App: Don’t miss a thing with the show app. Set alerts for panels, find exclusive events, locate vendors with our interactive map, and even plan your autograph and photo op times. It’s your ultimate weekend guide. Download the app here.

Photo Ops & Autographs: Plan ahead for photo ops and autographs. Pre-purchase experiences whenever possible to lock in your spot with your favourite stars. If pre-sales aren’t available, visit celebrity tables early to secure your chance. And don’t forget: the celebrity autograph area is cash-only.

Tickets & Badges: Pick-up your badge in Hall A of the North Building. Don't have yours yet? Buy online or head to the ticketing hall and pick yours up at the box office. And don’t forget to activate your badge—think of it as your first quest.

Cosplay Vibes: Cosplay is optional, not required. Wear what makes you comfortable, whether that’s a full costume, casual clothes, or something cosplay-inspired. For first-timers, small touches like themed accessories are a great way to join the fun without feeling overwhelmed.

Comfort First: This is a marathon, not a sprint. Think sneakers and outfits you can move in. Your feet will thank you.

Cash & Card Ready: Be prepared for both cash and card purchases. While most vendors accept cards, the celebrity autograph area will be cash-only. Need cash? ATMs are available on-site.

Travel tips: Check out our Getting here page for the best ways to get to the show—superhero landing optional.

Smooth Entry: Your entry details will be available closer to the show. We’ll release guides on arrival, bag policies, and access to make everything as smooth as possible, so stay tuned.

Cosplay Etiquette: Cosplay is not consent. Respect your fellow fans and always ask before snapping photos of or with cosplayers.

Celeb Game Plan: Make the most of your celebrity experience. Pre-book photo ops whenever possible, and hit up autograph lines early for the best chance to meet your favourites. Don’t forget to bring cash, as it’s often required for autographs.

Meet-Up Magic: Cosplay meetups are scheduled throughout the weekend, grouped by fandoms like Marvel, Star Wars, and anime. Check the schedule online or in the app closer to the show to find your meetup and connect with fellow fans.

After Hours: The show doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. From themed parties to late-night meetups, after-hours events bring fans together in a whole new way. Check out the lineup here.
