You may have noticed these new information kiosks this year, located on the on the sidewalk in front of the center near doors A, D, and G. With all of the changes, this year, it’s hard for even us to keep things straight. These kiosks give of the center, guide to programs and events at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and Marriott Hotel and Marina, and detailed directions to many of the most common destinations at Comic-Con, Attend- ee Registration, Programs, Disabled Services, etc. Another near Petco Park gives shuttle information, and another information kiosk is located upstairs in the Sails Pavillion.

Toucan Tip of the day! Be flexible. The days of just showing up for a program event and expecting to get in are far behind us. Seating in all event rooms at Comic-Con is on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of the sheer number of attendees, simply having a badge does not guarantee a seat in programs and events, or an autograph from a specific celebrity. If there is a specific program or presentation you would like to see, it’s always a good idea to plan accordingly and arrive early. Even then, try to have a backup plan. With as many as 18 tracks of programming running concurrently, there’s bound to be something else you would like.
