Heyyy, I was just on here to ask a question but is there a maximum prop soze/ any restrictions? For reference my prop is 200cm (its a scythe). I heard the maximum is 180 but im not sure :(

Hiiii, this worked well when i did it last time!! so here i am again, i am going to MCM London for all 3 days in October on my own, if anyone would like to meet up at any time It would be amazing:)

My instagram is @juudge.mental, i have other socials on my page but feel free to ask for any, oh and im 22M

what stamp.rallys are planned for this octobers mcm?

Obviously there's lots of talk about the May MCM London and now that Critical Role are returning for MCM London in October, there's a lot of excitement. And it feels like everyone keeps overlooking disabled accessibility and treatment.

I went to my first ever MCM a couple of years ago when CR were there and I had an absolutely awful time. The website had said there was disabled accessibility but it was terrible. Despite walking with a cane I was directed to take an alternate entrance that was at the far end of the centre, was made to stand in a queue for 45 minutes just for the cloakroom and so by the time I had even truly entered the con I was shaking and in pain. There was never enough seating, staff were rude or outright ignored queries and even the entire reset room had 3 whole chairs in it (and an employee deciding to hoover the carpet while an autistic child was self soothing).

I later collapsed en route to my hotel and needed assistance to get the rest of the way (a normally 15 minute walk became almost an hour), but I faired better than most. I heard about the crush of people thanks to MCM tacking on extra last-minute cash-in-hand autographs for CR, and heard about people who passed out and were hurt. I heard about the people who were threatened by staff to be kicked out when they complained.

I'm ambulatory, not a wheelchair user, and in some ways I think this makes it more dangerous for me, because I think people just assume I'm fine and take less care. I was barged into and almost knocked over by so many patrons both days. I remember "queuing" for photo ops (just a mass gathering) and trying to ask the staff if I could step out to sit in the seated queue but they would blatantly ignore me each time (it was roped off and empty).

The Sunday was marginally better because I think there were so many complaints, and I was treated much better when heading to the CR panel. But online afterwards I heard so many people who had a terrible time and it honestly put me off.

I love CR and unfortunately the only way to really see them is at MCM as its the UKs biggest con. Every year since people have gotten excited for MCM and nobody ever speaks up about the accessibility issues and the ableism. It's really upsetting to see able-bodied people hype it up because it doesn't effect them. If I were to brave going again, I know I'd be in danger of getting hurt and would end up being bed-bound for days afterwards (again). And yes, I did complain at the time, as did countless others. I never got a response.

I'm just frustrated that everyone else's apathy means a huge amount of people wither have to miss out, or else put themselves in harms way to enjoy what everyone else can without another thought. If more people supported our voices, maybe we'd actually see improvements.

Can someone tell me why there aren’t big names released for London Comic con yet for October or is this the normal line up?

I am going to visit London in September, and I saw wondering if there are any good conversations in London at the time.

Arrive early as he sold out wembley and theres only a few seats

Me and my friends are going in October. Does anyone know when the tickets normally go on sale for that event as all I see is the ones for may?

I dont normally dress up for comic con witch i only been going to since 2022 October 23rd I have asperger's syndrome makes it hard for me to do things like that.

Hope I have come to the right place:

I am taking my daughter to the mcm comic con in a few weeks. We have been to London many times but I am looking to make the trip a little more 'on-brand.' I am looking for fun places to visit, to stay to eat etc.. Places like vintage markets, whimsigoth stores, comic shops, funny ramen places, crazy cereal breakfast spots... a bit hard to explain but you all probably know better than me what I am looking for!

Any pointers would be much appreciated!

I’m going on my own for the first time, there a bit Friday + all day Saturday (staying nearby).

Don’t really wanna spend the whole time wandering around like a lost side character, so thought I’d see if anyone else is in the same boat 😅

Happy to just walk around, check stuff out, queue together, grab food, whatever really.

If you’re going solo or don’t mind an extra person tagging along, give me a shout.

Im going to comic con for the first time on Saturday, and im really excited but struggling to find some answers if anyone has any advice.

My entry is at 11, but im wondering what time i should get there? I've seen mixed things about the queue situation at the Excel center so am not sure how early to actually get there.

Is it usually hot or cold inside? It looks huge and it's autumn so i imagine it will be freezing, but I've seen some people say otherwise. Trying to figure out what to wear because of this, dont want to overhearlt in a coat either.

How safe is it generally? I see its family friendly, but big crowds and celebrities usually bring out some morons so im wondering about that too.

Any other advice for a first timer will also be appreciated. Thanks!

I am going to London MCM next month and as it is my first time going to a big convention, especially one in London I have a few question and am wondering if people are able to answer them?

How close to the events do they stop announcing guests?

Is it a good idea to cosplay depending on the temperature since it is late october?

How long does it usually take to get into the venue itself when lining up?

Is it okay to bring in outside food/drink and if so would you recommend bringing in outside food rather buying food in the venue?

Any panel recommendatios for a first time goer?

Sorry if they seem excesive i am just curious to know beforehand if that is okay

I only been to a Comic Con once, I went two days but I felt the second day wasn't worth it, a few friends of mine thinks seeing just the stalls and cosplayers for two days might be worth it in a much bigger Comic Con/location such as London, would London Comic Con be worth it for 2 days just for stalls and cosplayers or should I still stick to 1 day for stalls?

As mentioned in the title. I am unsure as the option for autographs wasn't available to pre-purchase (maybe sold out)?

Thanks

I want to get my boyfriend tickets to a london event for Christmas, he loves Star Wars, he has never been to one and neither have I, is there a specific one that's best for star wars? I've looked at Spring Comicon, Film and Comicon, and MCM comicon, but they seem to mostly not have any information yet about like guests ect, is there one that would be best? The Spring one is probably the best timings wise for us because the others clash with exams a bit. But if one of the others is particularly good for star wars they would both work. He also likes Marvel, Pokemon, Skylanders, not sure if any of those will be present at all. We could probably also do a Birmingham MCM but I'm assuming that won't be any better than London. Thank you!!!

I will be going to MCM Birmingham this year for the first time in order to see Luke Roberts and Salomé Gunnarsdottír who both have been in Silent Hill 2 and I'm already very excited. Since I'm traveling from outside the UK, I was thinking of bringing them a little something from my city as a gift (a very small, non-food item). On the MCM Birmingham website it says people shouldn't bring large gifts, but now I'm a bit unsure if I am allowed to give them a gift at all.

Is anyone here aware of the rules of what MCM Birmingham allows regarding this matter or has had an experience themselves with gift giving at cons?

Thanks in advance for any replies :)
