Baltimore Comic-Con News You Can Use

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - August 30, 2016 - The 2016 Baltimore Comic-Con is just around the corner. We know we're providing a lot of information in a short period, but we wanted to make sure you have all of the important details about the show!

Of course, as always, we are at the Baltimore Convention Center, and this year's show takes place the weekend of September 2-4, 2016. If you haven't bought your General Admission, VIP, or Harvey Awards tickets yet, doing so now will avoid additional lines upon arrival. If you cannot purchase tickets until coming to the show for any reason, box office hours begin at 8am ET Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
If you came to the show last year, we are in the same location in 2016. If you are new to the show, or missed us last year (we forgive you), see the diagram above for details on where to enter.

ATMs will be available in numerous places throughout the convention floor for your convenience.

If you have not explored our website extensively already, please consider taking a few minutes to do so now to prepare for your visit. Within, you will find links to driving and parking directionsprogramming, costume contest and weapons policy details, our exhibit hall map, and a PDF copy of our 2016 Program Guide, not to mention the full list of guests, media guestsretailers, exhibitors, and Artists Alley guests.

Parking availability is very limited, so it is strongly recommended that you purchase your parking in advance, if driving.
