Big fat guide to comiccon [Oct 2025]

Tickets and Travel

Where do I get tickets?

I'm coming by train, where should I go?

  • Go to Custom House stationhttps://share.google/KtCc3AOqOcGgT4C1H
  • Either take the DLR or the Elizabeth line. Elizabeth line is a bit nicer in my opinion.

Is there a map of the convention?

I need a hotel!

Ahead of arrival

Prepare!

Some of these need reservations to be sure to do this early.

Getting in

Where's the entrance to the convention?

  • It's not always the same but when you get off the train it will be clearly labeled. If not. Follow the crowds!

What time should I get there?

  • Lots of people arrive early so the queue can be pretty long. Prepare for a bit of a wait.
    • Some snacks and water is good
  • Typically they hand out wristbands ahead of the "doors" (gates?) opening so when it does open it usually clears out pretty quickly.
    • For this reason, in the past, I've either gotten there an hour early or an hour late. Rarely do I just arrive on time.

Inside Con

Is Con safe?

  • Any large group of people has its bad apples. But mostly people are friendly, excited to be there and are enjoying the atmosphere. you'll have more trouble with over-enthusiastic attendees than rude, or malicious ones.
    • That said, i've never had any trouble in 10+ years.
  • Social boundaries at these events can also be forgotten at points, in part due to how busy it is. In part due to people being so excited they sort of forget themselves.
    • Don't be afraid to reset boundaries, especially if you're female and in cosplay.

What about food?

  • There is food in the main "promenade", things like subway, burritos, coffee shops etc.
  • There is food in the con halls themselves, usually nestled away in a corner somewhere.
    • Japanese karage is often a good choice.
  • It's all very expensive.
  • There is a Tesco Express a short walk away here
  • You can bring your own food if you wish to

Toilets!

  • Toilets are up and down the main promenade.
  • Often very busy, often not particularly clean.
  • The Fox (bar just outside) has toilets too.

Can I take pictures?

  • Most cosplayers are all too happy to have their pictures taken. But do ask permission first.
    • Especially if they're clearly sitting down having a break.

Should I buy stuff?

  • There's a ton of stuff to buy, it's kind of the whole thing really nowadays. I would do a big walk around first before buying anything. It can be expensive and you don't want to run out of money right away!

first time attendee (and first day I will be solo 🫣)

7 Upvotes

My goal for this year is to be braver. I booked ComicCon tickets as part of this, and the first day I will be solo. I am also doing cosplay for the first time ever. Safe to say my nerves are pretty high 😅

So here are some questions:

1) are there any meet ups for socially anxious/awkward solo attendees?

2) how hot does the event get? I will be wearing a three layer dress (light fabrics luckily!) - will I get overheated or should I be okay?

3) how long should I expect to wait in queues? I mainly plan on attending Writer's Block on day one (along with Critical Role panel and some browsing/shopping stalls). I haven't fully mapped out my day yet as I want to be realistic about timings 😅

Thank you!! :)

Missed Tickets?

22 Upvotes

How on earth have so many people left it so late to try and get tickets? They've been on sale since May and now threads are flooded with people hawking sob stories about needing tickets but having left it to THE WEEK BEFORE CON they're now shocked they can't get them. That or apparantly having looked forward to various photo ops, meet and greets, panels etc since they were announced they somehow missed the posts and emails about needing a reservation and are DESPERATE to buy one now. People would do well to remember mcm tickets are not resellable, not transferable. MCM advertises the ticket availability regularly in the run up to con, it posts plenty of warning about reservations, including a date when they go live. I'm not talking about people who tried to get reservations on the day, but the ones offering to sell their soul for a panel or con ticket a week before that they didn't care enough about to research about beforehand. It's insanity this year, i've never seen it like it!!

Photographers

Hey! I was just wondering how photographers work? I know there will be some walking around but how would you go about asking them for photographs for your cosplay? Sorry if this sounds super silly it’s my second mcm but first one going in full cosplay :)

Nervous about photo op :,)

3 Upvotes

Last year I managed to get a pic with my fav actor and the photo ended up really cute :) but we weren’t really posing (which is ok!) but this year I maybe want to try something different!

How do you guys go about asking your guests for specific poses? I’ve seen pics where the guests have (for example) their arm around the other person or they’re doing a cute little heart with their hands or something! I’m just wondering how you even go about asking for cute poses and knowing if the guests are comfy with it :,) I’m planning to see Vivziepop and I’m a bit nervous :,>

I know I just posted earlier, but I am trying to make a game plan and I am curious about this panel. Any idea who the guests might be? It just says chaired by Julia Darling - no other details are given! It is at the same time as the Silent Hill panel so I have a big choice to make 😅😅

hey Comicon-ers

i have screwed up and left it too late to get Saturday tickets for my daughter and I to go to Comicon.

She is having a rough time and I don't want to let her down. Im hoping and praying that someone has one they don't need (then she could go with a friend) or a pair, and then I could go too.

Obvs I don't want anything bad to happen to others. But if you have a spare ticket you don't need, please let me know. My daughter has had some dark times lately and this will brighten her world (and yes I have learned my lesson to buy tickets early!)

thanks for reading xxx

ps I'm on Twickets but isn't everyone!?

Looking for Saturday Comic Con tickets!

0 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m looking to purchase 1 ticket for Saturday 24 October at MCM London Comic Con. Not to write my life story here, but I just moved to London after recovering from long term illness, and I didn't realise Saturday tickets would be so popular 😭 I am really happy to pay a good price for genuine, verifiable tickets (~£100, negotiable), if you would be able to provide proof of purchase with the confirmation email and matching booking details.

I really appreciate it, thank you so much.

How does priority and queuing work?

2 Upvotes

Im getting a flight the same day as the con on Friday, I arrive in london at 7.55 ish, Im able to get to the con for abt 9.30 and I have priority, but im a bit confused on how it works, does priority have a separate line? Or do I just have to arrive early to get in at 10 or else im stuck in a que till 12? This is my first time travelling alone and going to a comic con so im quite nervous

Excel overflow parking - has anyone used it before?

1 Upvotes

So I forgot to book parking 🥲 and now there's only the overflow option left. It says it's "not in our venue car park" but the postcode it says to use is the excel car park so I'm a bit confused. Googling it doesn't really bring up any results either. Has anyone used the overflow parking before?

I'm flying in from Dublin just for the Con and didn't realise at the time that guests had to pre-book autographs and such (it's not a thing at the Dublin Conventions). If anyone is willing to sell me a ticket for either Friday or Saturday, I'd be really grateful!

I'm able to pay via Revolut, so please DM me if you're willing to sell. Thanks!
