Cosplay
Cosplay is not only welcomed, it is encouraged. If you need inspiration, you can find it here.
Coupon
You can save more by purchasing a 2 Day Pass, rather than buying two single day tickets. I’ve seen a 2 Day Pass going for as much as $173 for a single pass by online ticket brokers. Purchase your 2 Day Pass here and you can save $119 on each ticket.
If you can only attend one day, purchase your ticket here and you can save $76 on your Saturday ticket and $81 on your Sunday ticket.
