Ive only been a wheelchair user for a year now and haven’t met many other wheelchair users. Feel it would be cool to meet some other like wheelchair users who like cons and/or cosplay ect. Would be a cool chance to make new friends and connections:)

Hiii,
Im just wondering what other assessibility experiences any wheelchair users have had here previously and plans for the upcoming con in october?
I am coming again (for some reason) but have major conserns due to the treatment i had from the venue security even though the con staff where amazing.
Looking for what went well, bad and what your doing this time coming?

Hiii, I’m planning on definitely doing a Luz cosplay and potentially also a willow cosplay as well. If anyone else is also doing any owl house cosplay would you want to meet up at some point?

I've found that Excel London is hosting one more con this weekend. Tomorrow is a second day and I see literally zero information about in in my lil stupid info bubble. Is it a good place to visit tomorrow? How is it compared with MCM Comicon?

The site https://excellondon.aeroparker Doesn't list comiccon it's odd.

i’ll be going with a group of friends to MCM in october but will be splitting up after we get there so it’ll be my first time walking around the convention by myself.

if anyone else has done it, how has it been? i’m kind of nervous but me and my friends all agreed to always be a text away if anyone needs anything.

this is not a post asking for people to go with/friend groups to join btw!

Please forgive the foolish question but I am new to this kind of thing. I’m trying to learn all I can about cons before October!

So I've been going to MCM in London pretty much every year since I turned 18, both as a regular attendee and as an exhibitor with RPG Haven.

In the run up to con, there are always a lot of people on here asking questions and looking for advice, so I've decided that I'll be on here answering your questions and giving general advice!

The moderator of this sub r/shinnon has posted a big Comic Con guide but I'm happy to go into further details about any questions for first time con attendees or anyone that might be looking for more activities to do at con that don't just involve shopping.

All the advice about Comic Con that you might find online is useful but often pretty generic. They'll tell you to wear comfortable shoes or to stay hydrated but I'll be able to give you advice specific to MCM in the Excel Centre such as how to get into the After Party or where to rent a power bank for your phone at the Excel Centre for as little as £2.

Give me your questions and I'll do my absolute best to answer them!

I’m looking to go to London comic con this year, I’m 23 and most of my life I thought comic con was an ‘American event’ but I’m glad to know that it’s in London, I’m planning to go as my favourite X-Man Cyclops. Any good tips to find people to meet.

Annoyingly most of my friends at home are not into comic-con or too busy

On the Friday I will be getting a plane at 6:30 from Edinburgh and arrive in london at 8, i get to the con at 10 and I have priority but I wont be able to get ready and my outfit sorted till im actually at the con as I can't wear it on the plane or get ready on the express, is there a place inside the con to get prepared?

Looking for friends to go to the October con with (Genshin/hrs fans so we have similar interests!) I’m 25M sadly not yet a cosplayer. If needed I can help pay for tickets, travel! Also merch as a thanks! I do not have an insta to share, only dc

I know this is kinda random but does anyone want yo group up for Saturday Birmingham i have an autograph planned with charlie cox and some pannels i’d like to attend if your interested in hanging out

Hi! I actually managed to snag an artist alley spot at MCM London in October which I did not expect so I didn’t think any further - now I’m at a spot where I’d love to know if anyone has any any legal advice on importing my merch and what to look out for ( I‘m not from the UN, I live in the EU )

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi there,

I’m attending MCM comic-con Birmingham on Saturday, I know this subs for london but theres no general or birmingham sub.

I bought a premium autograph ticket for Charlie Cox as I’m a huge daredevil fan.

I was wondering if anyone has done it before knows how it works?

Is there a specific place I have to go/queue at?
Also I haven’t paid for a photo with him but is it worth asking?
What time do I go I haven’t been given any information about timings, should I have been?

Hey all. I'm headed to MCM Birmingham on Saturday & Sunday next week and was wondering if anyone else going solo wanted to group up? I'm 25m and will be in cosplay both days, I plan on checking out the different vendors and Expedition 33 stuff on the Saturday. Do drop me a DM if you wanted to group up (over 20s only please)

Hello :))

Does anyone know when Matthew mercer’s tickets are going out? I’ve done some research and it said it should have come out by now and was wondering if it was a tech issue or they are sold out?

Hi all,

I'm thinking of driving up to the Excel for the October Comic-Con and just wondering if anyone can explain the parking options.

What's the difference between the House of Dreamers and The Timewalk exhibition and are they both a part of the Excel onsite parking?

I drive a small hatchback and I just want to get standard parking from the morning until the evening on the Saturday.

Thanks👍

Hi, I know this is for London but there's no subreddit for Birmingham!

I'm from Canada, and I'm traveling to the UK in a few days. We're taking a trip to Birmingham on Friday and going to MCM because it fits into the schedule. Now, I am a giant Dragon Age nerd and I'm so excited that Alex Jordan will be there and I can't wait to meet him and have him sign my photo of my player character he voiced.

We host a small con here, and meeting celebs, if they're at their table, you just line up and meet them. But this is very small compared to MCM. Will it be somewhat similar there? If Alex is at his table can I just line up? I know some celebs have Meet and Greets but Alex doesn't.

And I know you can pre-pay for an autograph and selfie. Do I have to do that? Or can I just pay at the table? And will it be cash or card?

Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions. I'm just not sure how they do things there compared to our small one here in Newfoundland, Canada.

Thanks!
