An absolute must for geeks and fans of any kind, go if you can get tix but beware the crowds! If you can't, lots of freebies and fun stuff to do downtown just outside the convention center , too :-)

AT&T

Look out for our super power, protecting you from one of the greatest villains around--the dastardly snail's pace. SuperCOW at SDCC--activate!!!

Erika Lane

Bring an extra pair of socks for each day. Changing socks halfway through the day will make your feet happy! Also, eat at Tin Fish ! Fabulous tacos and good beer .

deviantART

Stop by Artists ' Alley and see the incredibly talented artists who have traveled to San Diego from around the globe. Come show your support for artists and the comic arts ! We're proud to be a sponsor!

Jim McDermott

Volunteers: the free T-shirts are at the fulfilment room in the Marriott. It can be hard to find. Where you can branch right to a Nintendo area, turn left. You'll pass a long cafe and then see signs.

Audi

Anyone seen Tony Stark and an R8 around here anyplace?

Hall H and Ballroom 20 are the 2 largest rooms at Comic-Con and they are located at opposite ends of the convention center . The biggest names are hosted in these 2 halls which means they fill up fast

Noel Clarke

Once a year but amazing!!! I've only been for work signing DoctorWho stuff years ago and My comic in 2016, but man it's fun.

Bob Bretall

I go for comics ,yes they are still there, & have little problem with lines . People who want to buy exclusives/see Hollywood celebs have to wait in miserable long lines as that is what most attend for.

Lexus

If you’re at #SDCC this weekend, snap yourself in the backseat of one of these and tag it with #LexusCT.

Christina Chin

Its an experience! Best to stay nearby if you can get a hotel room. Would go back if i can bypass lines !

When walking... think about walking on sunshine and you'll go a lot faster.. Trust me.. I'm a professional. PS: singing the song will make you go faster. *nods*

Dan Leveille

Show your support for the artists ! Visit Artists ' Alley in Hall G at the very end of the convention hall!

Danielle Torres

Such amazing costumes and people to meet, not to mention all the exclusive toys , sneak peaks and panels . So fun!

Jim McDermott

Try to control the impulse to buy all your trades on Thursday. Prices keep going down... (Mile High comics is a great place to look on Sat and Sun.)

Edward S.

Have a game plan, wear comfortable shoes , drink a lot of water! Don't forget food at the con is expensive !

USA TODAY

The largest convention of its kind, Comic-Con is a must for devotees of comic books , film animation and video games . It's the perfect place to transform into a superhero or villain. Read more

On some occasions, it may be necessary to attend the panel prior to the panel that you are actually in line for. We are affectionately calling this panel-camping.

Andy

If you get tired out, just find a piece of floor, recharge your phone, and people watch . no better place to people watch .

Aolani Smythe

BEST Ever is San Diego Comic Con International the world's eye on animes cosplays action games collectible toys innovative gadgets plus celebrities & amazing creations in the comic movie tv world

Stanley Pekata

Very fun place and worth it. Make sure you get to the rooms very early to make sure you can get it, especially on the larger pannels and rooms like Ballroom 20.

Andy

locate your nearest free charging station, or plug in the wall. cause when you are in line for hall H for 4+ hours, you are gonna wish you had some phone battery.

Christine

Wear comfy shoes . Pack snacks . Stay hydrated. Don't forget to bring a portable charger. And please remember... Cosplay is NOT consent!

Khoa Lam

Try to traverse along the outer walkways... generally less crowded , but may still be futile. That's the con for ya!

TONY ADIVARI

Welcome to the greatest convention of all time! Have fun and good luck. You'll know what I mean once you start walking the floor. Ha ha

Phillip Jones

Hurry up and wait. Have all your devices charge and don't drink to much because you will be waiting in lots of long lines . Have fun my friends.

Danny Chiang

Man of the fan clubs are on the mezzanine level. They can be easy to miss if you don't know where to look.

Kurtus Sietz

Wear comfy shoes and get used to standing in line . And don't be afraid to take pics with all the cosplayers.

Jarin Udom

Discouraged by the crazy long line for the Game of Thrones panel ? The smaller panels might surprise you with how awesome they are :)

Danielle

Be kind to your fellow attendees - it's hot and crowded here, so please, please, please don't forget the deodorant ...

MattersOfGrey.com

Did you bring an extra phone battery or battery pack? A charger? an entire power strip? There is always tomorrow.

Jet

Work in a group to truly enjoy the Con. It's too hard to do anything on your own anymore. You can't Con alone.

National Post

"Nerds haven’t been the same since they got their revenge back in 1984. We can’t let that happen. Being lovable losers is what forced us to go create and enjoy the escapist works in the first place!" Read more

John Kelleher

Walk the carpeted lobby to get to destination hall. Faster & more comfortable on tired feet.

Kate

This place is a dream if you like popular TV , Movies , Comics , and lines .

Wess Gregg

Relax! Don't stress in the lines . Plan and prioritize. Save some money and pack a lunch . Bringing a flask couldn't hurt either.

JNET

Move calmly and be kind. Lend to the positive vibe of this event . Thx ????

Think twice about wearing the bag you're given. You will bang into people. A lot. On Sat, especially, you will lose your mind...

Jarin Udom

Stop by The Local Eatery and Drinking Hole on 4th and C for amazing local San Diego craft beers :)

Natasha Baucas

Wherever the WB booth is, be aware that it's usually a "bottleneck" part of the exhibit hall. If you want to get to the front of Hall H for a popular panel , being there at the early morning hours, an

Jeff

Get breakfast before you start waiting in the long panel lines . Cafe 222 on 2nd and Island is less then two blocks away. Their food has been featured on Food Network multiple times. Nom, nom, nom.

Oscar Encinas

Don't wait in line for panels if it's not moving fast you don't want to spend most of the the day waiting in line and not enjoying the Comic-Con

Natasha Baucas

Definitely a must, if you can get a pass. If not, they have expanded to include off-site events in the downtown area during that weekend.

Revolution

Grab a water bottle at #Revolution Village . Be sure to fill up - there's no running water after #LightsOut.

Dave Powers

Think about using Gowalla on iPhone, Android or WP7 here; Comic-Con has tons of places with custom graphics/stamps and it still works with foursquare. Cool!
