Because there are more eligible members than badges available in both sales, you are not guaranteed a badge purchase during either sale, regardless of when you enter the virtual waiting room.

This includes how to access the virtual waiting room and, if randomly selected for a registration session, how to purchase badges!

Comic-Con Returning Registration is for all paid attendees who attended the previous year’s Comic-Con. When you purchase an attendee badge for Comic-Con, you are automatically eligible to participate in Returning Registration for the next Comic-Con. If your badge is refunded, you are no longer eligible. Only a select number of badges are made available in this category to ensure new attendees can take part in Comic-Con as well.
First-time attendees, professionals, guests of professionals (paid or complimentary), exhibitors (and exhibitor-purchased attendee badges), retailers, volunteers, staff, complimentary passes, and press are not eligible to participate in Returning Registration.

If you are selected for a registration session during a badge sale, you will be able to purchase badges for up to three people. You will need the correct Member ID and last name of each friend or family member you wish to purchase badges for.
They must also be eligible to participate in the sale.
For example, Comic-Con Returning Registration is only open to those who had purchased an attendee badge for the previous year’s Comic-Con. If you attended Comic-Con but your friend did not, you will not be able to purchase a badge for them during Returning Registration. Your friend will have to participate in Comic-Con Open Registration instead. For information on child badges, please see the information further down in these FAQs.

By requiring a unique email address for each Comic-Con Member ID, our goal is to increase the speed of the online registration process, prevent duplicate registrations, and prevent scalpers from reselling badges at inflated prices. Our hope is that the Member ID system will allow more fans to purchase badges for this very popular event.

To accommodate the transition from child (age 12 and under) to junior (age 13 - 17), we have set a static date to determine who is considered a child for Comic-Con 2023.
If your child was age 12 or under on July 31, 2022, you do not need to purchase a badge for them to attend Comic-Con 2023. They may attend as a child, with a paying adult. If they were age 13 or older on or before July 31, 2022, they will need a purchased junior badge to attend Comic-Con 2023.

Because of increased interest in Comic-Con and limited space at the San Diego Convention Center, we have had to cap attendance. We truly wish we could accommodate each and every person who would like to attend the show. While we are making strides to increase space by utilizing hotels and outdoor venues, the problem of attendance is one that all of us continue to work on constantly.
Comic-Con has worked on streamlining the badge purchase experience, but it is possible that problems outside of our control could result in the system not working as planned. The possibility exists that anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-malware software may aggressively block browser cookies, JavaScript, or other operations of modern web applications. It is also possible that user error, specific hardware problems, local ISP issues, or simply the extremely high level of demand beyond our control may result in your computer and/or browser not behaving as described above. Unfortunately, because of these factors, Comic-Con is unable to guarantee that your efforts will result in a successful badge purchase regardless of when you enter the process.
