Comic-Con is the largest comic convention in the world. If you’re a comic fan, this is where it’s at.
To get into a giant convention event such as this one requires planning and budgeting because entrance tickets are expensive and hard to come by.
But don’t worry that’s what Comic-con accounts are for.
If you’re smart, which I’m sure you are, otherwise you wouldn’t be here, you can get ahead of the pack by simply following the instructions on this page.
First up, what’s a Comic-Con account? And, Do you even need one?
A Comic-Con account is your gateway to all things Comic-Con, especially entrance tickets.
If you want to receive official updates, registration announcements, access to selected sales, and other important information about attending Comic-Con, you need to sign up for a Comic-Con Member ID.
So yes, you do need a Comic-Con account.
The Member ID makes you eligible to receive emails from Comic-Con’s registration partners about registration processes and procedures.
You will also receive emails from their hotel reservation partners regarding hotel information for Comic-Con conventions and events across the country.
Every person planning to attend a Comic-Con event must have their own Member ID. Because only one entrance ticket is allowed for purchase per account. Which means that none of your buddies can buy tickets on behalf of yourself.
The same goes if you want to buy badges for someone else. If you are buying a Comic-Con badge for your brother, cousin, girlfriend, boyfriend, or cat, they must have their own valid and confirmed Member ID.
No account = No Tickets. Don’t forget that!
How to Create a Comic-Con Member ID?
Creating a Comic-Con Member ID is quick and easy. But keep this in mind; Only Member ID accounts created before October 31, 2018, at 9:30 am PDT are eligible to take part.
If you registered past that date, you’ll be eligible for Comic-Con 2020 Open Registration.
So complete your account creation and email confirmation now, otherwise you risk forgetting to do so and possibly missing out on next year’s largest comics event in the US.
To create a Comic-Con Member ID/Account follow these steps:
Go to the Member ID Registration Home, then click “New Member ID” to go to the sign up page. One you’re there, check the “I Have Read and Accept the Terms of Service above” box and click Continue.
Now you must provide basic contact details to register for a Member ID.
You must fill all the required fields to complete the registration process. Keep in mind that all fields in red are required. So make sure to enter the correct information in each one of those.
Enter your first name, last name, Member ID, email, password, and membership type. Then check the “I’m Not a Robot” box and click “Continue”.
When your registration is complete, you will receive an email confirmation with a link you must click to complete the registration and confirmation process.
You must confirm your email to be eligible for a Comic-Con badge. So if you don’t receive the email confirmation after 48 hours of signing up, check the spam folder.
How to Login to Your Comic-Con Account
First select the login option you wish to use from the drop-down menu that says “login using”.
Choose Member ID or email, both should work fine. However, if you select “Member ID” as the login option, you will have to enter your email anyway, so this step is redundant, in my opinion.
Now enter your Member ID.
Enter the email you used to create the account.
Enter your password.
Check the “I’m not a Robot” box, and complete one or multiple captchas until you’re allowed access to the site.
When you see the green check mark on the reCaptcha click “Continue”.
If access to the site is denied, you may need to reset your password.
How to Reset or Recover Your Comic-Con Password
If you lost or forgot your password follow these steps:
Go to Comic-Con’s Send Me My Login Info page.
Enter your email address where required.
Check the “I’m Not a Robot” box, click “Continue”, and go to your email to find the corresponding email to reset your password.
You’ll probably have to click on a link that says Reset password or something like that. So click on the link and follow the provided instructions to regain access to your account.
Now that you’ve gained access to your account again, you will be notified when badges go on sale for Comic-Con events around the country.
For example, everyone with a Comic-Con Member ID will be notified via email when WonderCon Anaheim badges go on sale in the next few days.
