Here are a few last-minute reminders for attendees:

We are in the Pratt and Howard Street Lobby this year. Be sure to arrive early, as lines to enter when the show floor opens will begin to form early. If you're driving into town and you're going to need a place to park, check out our partner, SpotHero. All attendees need to bring their email 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 scanned and collected, and wristbands issued. Those who purchased the VIP Packages should go the VIP booth across from the ticket counter to attain their packages. Some VIP and Fan Package tickets remain available for sale at baltimorecomiccon.com. Unsold tickets will be available at the ticket counter while supplies last. We have celebrity photo ops on sale for media guests, and autographs will be available for purchase on-site. You can meet, greet, and redeem all pre-purchased tickets for media guests in the Guest Autographs and Photos Area. More information about all of our media guests can be found here.
