  General Information on Purchasing Badges Please take a moment to read the important information below. You’ll find details on how to register, international purchases, data protection, and more!
   
CREATE YOUR COMIC-CON MEMBER ID

The first step in the badge sale process is to create your Comic-Con Member ID account! A valid and confirmed Member ID is required to participate in badge sales.

If you do not have a Member ID account, please follow the steps below. Member ID registration is free of charge and only takes a few minutes! Only one Member ID is required per person. Please do not attempt to create multiple Member ID accounts.
 
  • You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Access the Member ID Portal at any time by clicking the Member ID link in the upper right-hand corner of the Comic-Con website.
  • Choose a Member ID that you can remember! You need your Member ID to participate in badge sales.
  • Provide a long-term email address to receive important registration information.
  • Complete the rest of your account information accurately.*
  • Click ‘Next’.
  • Verify your email. Enter the verification code that was sent to your registered email address, and click ‘Verify’.
  • Identify the correct Member ID Registration type** and click ‘Select’.
  • On the same page, your Member ID Registration type selection and basic account details will appear below. Click ‘Add to Cart’. Do not select ‘+ New Registrant’. If too much time has passed, you will be prompted to log in. Log in with the Member ID and password you just created to complete your account creation.
  • A pop-up window will appear to confirm that your Member ID Registration type has been added to your cart. Click ‘Checkout’. If you click ‘Continue Shopping’ by mistake, you can click ‘Checkout’ under your Cart on the right side of the page.
  • Do you see a page that says Registration Complete? Congratulations! You now have your very own Comic-Con Member ID account. You will receive an order confirmation email displaying your Member ID Registration type within 24 hours.


Please follow all the steps above to complete your account creation. You will not be eligible to participate in any badge sale until your Member ID account is complete. Your chance of purchasing badge(s) is not influenced in any way by the information you provide during Member ID registration. Member ID registration does not reserve or guarantee you a badge. Duplicate Member ID registrations will be automatically canceled. If badges were already purchased by the member, they will be automatically canceled, less a 10% processing fee and the $10 handling fee, at SDCC's sole discretion.

*Purchasing For Others

 A unique Member ID is required for each badge purchased. To purchase a badge for others, you need the Member ID and last name of each person as it appears on their Member ID account. Some badge sales require you to complete your purchase within a time limit, so be sure to have this information on hand before you start the purchase process. You don’t want to miss out on purchasing your badge or a badge for someone else because you didn’t have their correct Member ID information ready.

**Member ID Registration Type

  Member ID Registration types include: Junior (age 13-17), Adult, Active Duty Military, and Senior (60+). Your account is not complete until your Member ID Registration type is selected. An attendee badge cannot be purchased for a Member ID unless a Member ID Registration type has been selected.
