Here are a few last-minute reminders for attendees:
Be sure to arrive early, as lines to enter when the show floor opens will begin to form early.

All attendees need to bring their receipt from their online ticket purchase and a photo ID and follow directions of staff members to guide them to the proper lines where their receipts will be collected and wristbands issued.

Those who purchased the Stan Lee VIP Packages should go the Will Call booth to attain their packages.

The 3rd Annual Costume Contest will be held on Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 3:00 pm. Registration will begin as soon as the show opens at 10:00 am. Contest Registration forms will be handed out at all ticket booths for all patrons interested in entering the costume contest to further speed the registration process. Over-13 registration will cost $5. Under-13 registration will be free.
