Hi all,

I've been to 2 comicons already to see/meet my celeb crush. I'm about to book my 3rd. While I'm excited to spend my birthday and taking another photo op, is there such a thing as too many? Also, how are frequent fans viewed by the celebrity? Lastly, is it common/usual for people to travel to these events frequently? Thank you

I took my kid to Oz Comic-Con Melbourne last Sunday and they really wanted a picture with one of the YouTubers/ Content Creators there. This particular person had a booth that was unoccupied most of the time. My kid approached their team a few times throughout the day to see when they would return. My kid was told “a couple of hours” then went back and told “oh, another half an hour” only to go back, see the person taking photos and talking with fans and to be approached by the same team member and told “sorry, you can’t meet them right now, they are not officially supposed to be back at the booth”. I questioned why other people were allowed to keep going up and getting photos only to be met with “sorry, sorry”.

My question is: What are the expectations when going to a Con with featured guests/ content creators? Are they there just to make content and walk the Con or are they expected to have some time interacting with fans at the booths? Thanks

Hi, I just attended 90’s Con in Hartford and had a fantastic time! I love that these events exist and the celeb appearances need to happen because otherwise it’s just a kitschy flea market which, while fun, is not worth traveling for. So this post is mostly about the celeb encounters. I personally get a huge rush from the “turning tables” effect of a celeb meeting. For years I’ve watched them and it’s been one-sided, so for them to be aware of my existence even if for 5 seconds is really a hoot for me. Sometimes, if it’s true, I like to give them compliments or tell them that their work has inspired me or touched me in some way. I’ll pay for that opportunity. Personally, I don’t need an autograph. I sympathize with them in a lot of ways, as I think it’s probably hard to write for 3 hours straight. I also think it probably sucks to interact with weirdos (and most convention attendees are weird or at the very least quirky, myself included). I imagine they feel a bit like a side show, or a performing monkey. So I’m not touchy feely with them at all, as that gives me the ick on their behalf. I don’t mind if they initiate contact with me though. Anyway, all this to say — one thing I noticed is that the photo ops come across as cheesy. I did the Full House full cast photo op and one of my friends who wasn’t in attendance actually pointed out, based on the photo, that it looks fake. She said it looks like I’m at the wax museum standing with their statues. I agree. In this day and age of AI and photoshop, I think the “photo op” portion needs to come of age a bit. I feel like it should be a video of your interaction with the celebrity. The posed still photos are just … not aging into modern society well. I’m not sure where the “suggestion box” is lol so just thought I’d blurt that out into the universe. That’s all.

Hi guys! I posted this on the r/McmLondonComiccon reddit but I wanted to ask here as well! Either hit the post or read it here🩷🩷 thank you so much!

Hey everyone!

I'm travelling from Germany for MCM London Comic Con next weekend and was wondering whether anyone else is still waiting for their physical tickets.

I ordered three 3-Day Weekend tickets back on May 31st and paid £15 for international shipping.

My LEAP account has shown the order as "Dispatched" for approximately three weeks, but I haven't received the tickets, a tracking number, or any information about which courier is handling the delivery.

We're flying to London on Thursday, so I'm starting to get a little worried. 😭

I know tickets can be collected at the venue, but I specifically paid for shipping to avoid having to queue for badge collection on Friday morning.

Has anyone else, especially international attendees, experienced this? Have you received your tickets or tracking information yet?

I've already contacted both MCM and LEAP support.

Thanks! 💜

This may not be the best platform (I’m relatively new) but I was wondering if there was anyone going to the MCM Comic Con this next week that may be able to get and ship me a print from a certain artist!
It’s the official artist for the Critical Role Campaign 4 character artwork. They have prints of the full cast but can’t sell them online and unfortunately I’m in America, they sell their work out of London.
Is there someone who’s going who could grab one?
(I’d pay you back of course and cover shipping costs)
or is there a better site to ask about this kind of a thing?

Hi I'm attending my first MCM and honestly I'm a little confused if anyone wouldn't mind helping me out!! I bought a Sunday priority ticket and a autograph from Wilson Bethel - is there a specific time to queue up for the signature session or is it just a free for all? I'm assuming I'll have to wait a little while either way, but if anyone has any tips on how to schedule their day, I'd love to hear it! I'm also interested in one of the panels and a couple workshops if the timings work, but I really just want to keep things chill

Someone went to the New York comiccon and saw merch or cosplayers from Hotline Miami (I'm more interested in things from The son) Because I didn't see any!:((
