Having a great time going through my old film photos from my first London Comic Con in 2007! Such a different time~

Twice a year, I go to MCM Comic Con in London with my friends. It's a great time, but due to the cost of hotels, we get a family room (a double bed and a single) and share it.

Are there any hacks that you can think of that make sharing a hotel room more comfortable? The only one I have is that I bring big bin bags from home and tie it on the bathroom door handle so that the rubbish doesn't pile up in that tiny office bin they give you. We're all cosplayers too, so luggage/accessories/outfits quickly make the room disorganised.

This is a Premier Inn, so there's no minifridge. They do provide a kettle and an iron.

1) Can you actually meet the guests on the list? There's so many voice actors that made my childhood I really wanna meet, e.g Charles martinet, Nolan north, etc. I just wanna know how many people on the list realistically would I be able to meet over the three days?

2) I'm guessing cosplayings essential? What characters do people normally dress as, is it just anime or can it be videogames/superheroes as well?

3) Do I need friends to go? None of my friends or family are into this, I just don't know if it's worth going to by myself. I'll pluck up the courage to go but I might need to go by myself to a few things to get used to going places on my own rather than relying on friends.

Thanks!

I just want to ask any experienced cosplayers or people who reguarly attend cons if lots of fake blood is okay? I want to cosplay a character, but he's mostly covered in blood but I'm unsure if it'll be too much for a con!

We usually go to the may one on Sundays.
Are there lots of people in cosplay? We were planning an apothecary diaries group cosplay

I've only got the ar code atm and just had a few questions. I got priority tickets for Saturday 24th

1. What time is best to arrive if I want to get in as early as possible?

2. Where exactly do I go at Excel to scan my ar code and get my badge?

3. Do I need to activate my ticket beforehand or can I do it when I get there?

4. Is there a separate queue for priority ticket holders?

And il take any advice about what should and shouldn't do I'm nervous lol

I’m going to my first convention and I genuinely have no idea what to expect. I want to experience as much as I can but I also don’t want to spend too much money

What should I bring/ avoid?
How should I prioritise my time?
I heard con food isn’t great sometimes. Should I bring my own food?
Is getting signed prints worth my time? (I’m sure it’ll be worth my money 😉)
Is there anything else I should do?

This is about Autographs: I've got Saturday Priority tickets, and I'm wondering how feasible would it be to get the autograph of Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio and Wilson Bethel in one day, and at a stretch Matt Mercer too? This is ignoring initial ticket pre-purchases, this is only asking about queues and timings on the day(s).

The reason I ask is because I heard that Charlie Cox alone was extremely busy last month at MCM Birmingham, and I've heard that Matt Mercer will also be extremely high in demand too. I really hope I don't need to skip any but I'll regrettably abandon Mercer if I have to.

I also ask because I attended For The Love Of Fantasy con in London last weekend too, and getting Billie Piper, Eddie Furlong and Linda Hamilton basically took the whole day from 11am until 5:30pm.

I have heard that you are typically designated a time slot for signing, so I hope that helps queues and the like, but I do worry about the larger names like Charlie and Matt.

Thanks in advance!

This is my first comic con and convention and I have pre booked a autograph with jill valentine, Leon Kennedy and Aleks lee and I want to get one from claire Redfield as well. However since I pre booked the first 3 what happens if say Leon Kennedys voice actor table for doing signatures is at the same time as Aleks lee? Would I have to miss out or because I have a pre purchased ticket I'm guaranteed to get my signatures that day

Thank you for the help, I'm just kind of stressed

I’m going to the upcoming comic con in London this October which is arguably my first ever proper one (I’ve been to MCM before in Bham but was very young).
I’m a huge Daredevil fan and decided to get an autograph from Charlie Cox on Saturday, and on the next day an autograph + photo op with Wilson Bethel. This will be my first time meeting guests at a con and it’s very daunting only knowing vaguely what to expect. I’m quite socially awkward too so it’s like, what do I even say? I know they’re both lovely guys but MCM gives me the vibe of being very fast-paced and rushy (especially on a Saturday for Charlie Cox, yikes!) which does scare me a bit.
Any advice would be appreciated! What to expect with the whole experience, what I should expect at the actual table, what I should say/converse (and how that all works), plus what photo ops are like, etc.

Hello! I have a few questions as someone who’s not from the UK and never been to MCM London. I’ve also only ever been to one other convention, so forgive me if some of these questions are common knowledge.

I’m considering travelling to London since a lot of Resident Evil guests got announced and I’m a huge fan!

When do you reckon tickets will sell out? I have some things in my personal life that I need settled before I can buy tickets. I’d be crushed to think I have loads of time just to see it’s sold out.

I read about pre-booking an autograph/photo session with a guest. Can I see which guests have pre-booking, and where can I pre-book?

How does it work with no pre-booking? Should I expect to stand in line all day? Is it even possible to meet multiple guests or should I prioritize one? I’d love to meet all from RE of course but I don’t want to set unrealistic expectations. Are the guests there all day?

Does it cost money to go to their panels as well if they have one? I read about reserving a seat but I’m wondering if it costs?

Thank you in advance!

hello, i know the event isnt until october but i have autism, and i would like to ask a few questions as i’ve never plucked up the courage to go to a comicon before the one ill be attending in October by myself and its very daunting, thank you if anyone sees this.

1) i saw at other events they have a quieter space but i also know that socially sometimes people end up making a lot of noise in spaces like that with babies or friend groups (i have no problem with babies or friend groups), does that happen at comicons? if so is there people (staff members or volunteers) in those quiet spaces that will ask them to not be so loud

2) i do not see many guests listed right now, how close to the event do guests stop being announced? an addition to that question, do many marvel or DC actors often show up to the UK comic cons? its not the only reason i am going but it is a part of it

3) on tiktok somebody said that the food inside is £30, is that an exaggeration or is the food inside actually £30

4) this is an important question, if you’re in a line to get an autograph do you have to bring your own thing in from home or can you buy something at the event for the person to autograph

5) is there unspoken etiquette that exists at comic con like there is for football games or restaurants

thank you if anyone sees this i am really nervous but excited to go!!!!

The website says nothing less than typical swimwear so it seems fine but I’m not really sure what they’re counting as typical swimwear.

Hi, everyone.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had any trouble with the official Comic-Con app recently. As standard, I activated my 3-Day ticket for MCM Comic-Con London for this month with no issue, but after entering the “linking code” in order to use the app properly (and trying like 5 times or something), the app just gets stuck on a seemingly endless orange loading screen saying “Thank You. Please wait.” and then the buffer keeps going round but never actually ends.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there any way to fix it or did it eventually work? I’m finding it extremely frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

Im planning on cosplaying kashimo from jjk, i have made his staff and made it out of a 5 foot long pine dowel with a 35m diameter so it is slim, its about 750 grams and i was wondering if this counts as a hard wood bat, I can’t really tell as pine is a soft wood but i dont know wether they would let me in with it, if any one could tell me what they think that would be awesome, thanks!

Hey! I'd like to know what is the best time to leave MCM London on Sunday to avoid the chaos of leaving/getting tubes or trains back? Thanks

I'm planning on attending Mcm London Comic Con later this year and was really hoping to see Matt Mercer for an autograph. This is my first time ever going to a big comic con and I'm rather late to booking so I didn't realise you had to pre-book guests. If the pre-booking is entirely sold out for the guest, does that now mean I just can't go to his booth or will there be more spaces open on the day?

M 20, Going to MCM at the end of this month, doing friday and Saturday with friday after party.

Looking for people already going to tag along with, or i have spare tickets due to cancellations in case someone wants to join.

I feel weird for asking this

This is mainly for the single attendees but even if you're not then feel free to answer. Has anyone met someone at a con that they got on with and because they were too shy they didn't ask for their number?

Hiya so I have a question regarding the mcm in London.

So I have never been to a comic con before, but I'm going to the London one in October. im a huge daredevil fan and some of the cast will be there and do a panel. I can see there are reservations for panels? so I have no idea how panels work. do you need to reserve or can you just walk to the stage?

And if someone has tips in general about the comic con that would be great 😆

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to ComicCon for the first time ever and have no idea how things work. I've done some checks on the website and Reddit but am still a little confused, so any clarification/explanation is appreciated!

1) I've seen several writers announce on their own socials that they are attending but are not listed as a guest. Is there a time frame in which I can expect most authors to be announced formally??

2) Is there an actual schedule shared at some point for panels and writer's block guests?? I want to make a game plan but it feels impossible right now.

3) For panels, the website encourages you reserve a spot. I read on Reddit that this is free, but do they "sell out"? And if so, is there a date when panels are listed? I want to make sure I reserve my "must attend"s ASAP.

4) Are all writers block guests free for autographs? I usually go to author talks or readings so have no clue what to expect. And can I bring two books or just one?

I'm sure there are other things, but those are the main questions right now! :)

Hi I’ve been to MCM con before but what happens to after hours? Is it wild or a chill after event to meet needy adults?

I can’t go near drinking and wild places , I signed up but I need a head up to what to expect to calm my anxiety ahah
