The whole comicon was located in an extremely small space, divided by thin poorly spaced curtains. Even the guest speakers and celebrities were seated in these desolate locations in the corner of the room surrounded by cheap fold out chairs. There was hardly a turn out of people but everything was full priced. It all just kind of resembled a trunk or treat activity more then a comic convention.
This year the comic con just rented the main hall. Fitting in all vendors and celebs. Usually the other cons provide these and shows , more panels, events and more than just one area to do business. The food quality has dipped providing stale/old pizza. And over priced drinks and snacks. I get you wanna make a buck but this year the name failed the con
There was no parking and by the time I could get an Uber and get there my photo op and signing for the Erwin I wanted to meet would be over. The tickets online weren’t refundable and I was told that I couldn’t exchange them for the following day. I payed for 3 tickets and a photo op. That’s $200 down the drain that. No compensation what’s so ever. No going to San cons again.
Its too expensive of an experience, parking was pricey and so hard to find. Then the mile and a half walk to a door that was unacessable. So another 1/2 mile to front entrance. The people were lots of fun. My daughter who has special needs was tired of all the walking before we got there.
Overall was great time, however need to sell timed tickets for autographes.. People in line for over 3 hours for Kane and people kept skipping ahead as the line got longer. should be 5 minute timed tickets. Example. Kane Meet and greet @ 8am So if you are not there by 8 and 805 comes you go back of line. or something.
We had so much fun! My niece loves Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich. So happy me and my husband could take her to meet them!!
It was great I had a great experience this was my first time ever going. Something new for me and I loved it I would go again.
One of the best fan conventions in San Antonio, Texas! Great fun very well organized and very enjoyable. :-)
The show had a nice variety of vendors and special attractions. There was plenty of cosplay so the people watching was fun. The volunteers were lovely and did a great job of herding the crowds. The exit not being at the entrance and not clearly marked did post for a great deal of confusion for the guests. I was able to find some fun things and had a nice pleasant day with the family.
Took two of my buddies for there first ever comic con and had a blast! We can not wait to go next year!!
It was a great experience all the people were nice and honest there were awesome celebrities I got to meet and get autographs from I got to buy all sorts of pictures and collectibles, I got to play and enjoy my first video game tournament (even tho I was nervous and did Terrible) it did not in any way take away from the experience! I’m a heavy set fellow but I’ll tell you what I could not stop moving and looking at everything it was amazing I loved it even got 2 mystery boxes so even when I got home it was still as if my day at the event was still going. great start and a great end! Please do again next year I will come more prepared and get the full 3 day pass! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I have been to many ComicCons over the years. I understand we are coming back from a pandemic and rebuilding social gatherings. I thought this ComicCon needed more Comic Artists and fewer vendors that had nothing to do with Graphic Arts.
The event was everything I expected and do much more!
I went to the same con in 2019 and it was amazing! I was expecting the same atmosphere when I went this time. It was nothing similar. There were only a handful of panels scheduled through out the day and the panel location was in the main room so you could honestly hear it wherever you were. There were not half as many vendors or guests as there has been the other time I went. One of the guests I had bought my ticket to see didn't get to her table the entire five hours I was there so I decided to leave due to lack of things to do and frustration.
awesome. easy. fun. hours of entertainment. family friendly
Way small than I expected, have been to the ones years past and felt they were huge and organized, can not say the same about Big Texas Comic Con. It was okay just overall disappointing!
I bought tickets and photo ops for Holly Marie Combs. So I spent over 300 dollars and missed out on the panel I would have liked to see. Plus where were the comics. Hardly any to chose from. Most dealers had dollar comics on the floor, in bad shape and what wasn't was way over priced. Over all not sure I would go again. Not without better information.
Here are some things I noticed this Comic-Con was lacking in compared to others I’ve visited. (I purchased the $200 Express Pass). 1: There were a lot more vendors last year. More comics, more toys, more tshirts, more everything. This year, the center looked like it had lots of room to spare. 2: The express pass wasn’t honored the first day and no one was making sure it was. I walked up to a line to get an autograph and showed my badge, I was told to wait behind four people who were in line and they all had 3 day passes. 3: The line to get a signature was to close to the celebrity/artist. People standing in the snake line to get an autograph could look over the people’s shoulder directly in front of the table. If Covid was an issue, which plenty of people were walking around without their mask (not cosplayers). Maybe next time, push the snake line back a few feet to give the celebrity some space, don’t want to make it seem like we’re bum rushing them. 4: The cost of the express pass didn’t seem to be worth it. It was 140 more than a three day pass. I got a sticker ($5 sold at door), badge ($5 sold at door), poster ($5 I believe at door), and a shirt. I’d say $61 for three day pass, $20 for everything else = about $80. 5: It was weird that the volunteers had a place to rest, just outside the entrance of the hall floor (which was almost always empty). Could have been a great selling point for express pass members. A place to rest. Visiting customers who rest are more likely to make a purchase than a volunteer who got in for free. 6: I took a photo with a celebrity and was the only person in line (Friday). The photographer took my photo, looked at his camera and said ok we’re good. My son wasn’t looking at the camera. Could have brought up a reshoot but instead just put his camera down and the celebrity left. The customer is their for the experience, and if they have a bad one what’s to say they will return or if they’ll talk others out of going. 7: I liked that there was food being offered on the floor and people didn’t have to leave the center to eat. 8: There wasn’t an express pass entry. I went outside to get a taco and walked right back into the floor. This is a major security issue. I have no ill will towards anyone but someone who doesn’t agree with the event, a point of view by a celebrity/artist, or just another customer. All in all it was ok. There is room for improvement for next years event. Oh, someone did reach out to me to ask what size shirt I needed, so that was a plus.
Got a 3 day pass to comic con and it took literally less than 2 minutes to find the email, and add it to my apple wallet. I got bag checked, checked in, and was handed my passcard with no issues. The event was great and check in process took less than 5 minutes. The event was AMAZING. Definitely making it a yearly trip.
When I go to a comic con, the big factors for me are guest appearances, vendors, and amenities. The con was great in the fact that it had a good amount of well known celebrities and artists. However, the vendors seem to be very similar, selling Funko pops and toys. There were a handful that stood out with Legos, handmade headbands, comics, light sabers, and some weaponry. I was hoping for there to be a vendor selling dice sets. All in all, I’d go back again next year as long as they continue to get great guests. I’d love to see some bigger names such as Chris Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Sean Bean. I look forward to next year’s con!
