The Hamilton Convention Centre, 1 Summers Lane, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Who can attend this convention?
Anyone and everyone! The show is open to the public, provided you purchase a ticket.

Can I bring my son and/or daughter?
Yes, absolutely! However, please consult your show guidebook for age-appropriate ratings on events, panels, and screenings.

Do I have to cosplay?
Nope! We encourage cosplay, but you can come as you are! Bring pants though. We like it when you wear pants (or skirts, etc– cover your shame!).

How much are tickets?
Earlybird starts at $25/weekend, while regular Early Registration is $30. After that, regularly priced tickets will be available online and at the door for $35. You can also buy individual days, though that pricing will be announced shortly and is at-door only.

I want to help out! How can I do that?
You can come on as a volunteer! Please see our staff hiring form for more details.

What if I buy a pass but can’t attend? Can I transfer my pass or get a refund?
You may indeed transfer your pass to a friend if you’re unable to attend. Refunds can only be sought within 14 days of purchase or prior to July 1st. After this period, we do not generally issue refunds.

How early should I arrive?
Depends on what you like to do! Our events regularly start at 5:00 PM on Friday, 10:00 AM on Saturday, and 10:00 AM on Sunday.

How early should/can I line up for autographs or guest panels?
Depending on the popularity of the guest in question, we regularly let the line form an hour beforehand. A special warning will be issued at the front desk, website, Facebook, and Twitter if a particular event, panel, or autograph signing is filling up especially fast.

I’m a Vendor or Artist. How do I sign up for a booth/table?
Vendor and Artist registration will be forthcoming. Please pay attention to our updates throughout November as we will be announcing those items then.

Can I bring my prop/replica weapon/airsoft gun/nerf gun to the con?
That is a complicated question! Please refer to our Props Policy regarding these items.

For great justice?
Take off every Zig.
