Dos and Don’ts While Attending German Comic-Con
As one of the largest events in Europe, Comic-Con is a haven for geeks and nerds alike. This event celebrates all forms of art, from comic books and video games to movies and TV shows. It’s also a great place to buy gifts for people who share your geeky interests.
Here are some dos and don’ts to help you make the most out of your trip:
Thu:
- Wear something cosplay-related, if you can. It’s one of the main attractions of the convention, and it’s always fun to see what people come up with.
- Bring a bag to carry all your goodies. There will be a lot of vendors selling all kinds of comics, toys, and other merchandise, so you’ll want to have a way to carry everything.
- Be prepared for a lot of people. German Comic-Con is one of the largest conventions in Europe, so expect it to be crowded.
- Make a list of artists you want to see and buy their merch. Some artists charge extra for prints, cards, or sketches, so bring enough cash.
- Find a cosplay buddy or group to take pictures with. Comic-Con attracts the best cosplayers from all over Europe. Just don’t forget your camera!
- Look out for autograph sessions. Some of these are free, but others require a purchase from the artist. These tend to be very popular and may only last a few minutes at a table, especially when there is an accompanying photo session.
Don’t:
- Wait until the last minute to buy tickets. Tickets tend to sell out fast, so make sure to get them well in advance.
- Wander alone if you can help it. The convention is pretty big, and it’s easy to get lost or separated from your group, especially with how crowded it can get in certain areas.
- Forget your camera. There will be a lot of your favorite TV and film actors from all different shows, so make sure to have your phone or camera ready.
- Wear a crowded costume, particularly if you’re going for a recognizable character. It’s fun to go as obscure characters, so you can have cosplayers running up to you for pictures.
