You can bring your collections. Submit your items for grading, authenticate your items, consign your items, authenticate your autographs, sell and trade with vendors.
There will be cosplay. Cosplay is not only welcomed, it is encouraged. You can find some great cosplay costumes here.
Coupon
You can save the most money by purchasing a two day pass, rather than buying two single day tickets. I’ve seen the 2 Day Pass going for as much as $150 by online ticket brokers. Book your 2 Day Pass here and you can save $91 on each Pass.
If you can only attend one day, purchase your ticket here and you can save $52 on your Saturday Ticket and $82 on the Sunday Ticket.
