WEAR YOUR COSTUME BEFORE THE CON!! It not only lets you know if you're going to comfortable and where possible areas of irritation will be, but if you have a large one it'll help give you a sense of special awareness for your size. it's simple, but it'll help!
At my first con, I learned that there are WAY more people like me, people who like the same things as me. I dragged my mom along to my first con, and she was amazed that there were more people in costume (I cosplayed as Phoenix Wright) and more people who loved the same things I do. IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Tips I've learned as both a Cosplayer & con-goer: 1: Don't cosplay & shop on the same day. Because, if you're approached for a photo, you're going to want to set your bags down, and that will make it easy for someone to pilfer through your purchases. 2: Get a hotel close by. - Nothing is worse than having to walk a long way/take a long taxi ride after a day at a Con. And, if you're cosplaying, you want somewhere close by that you can easily get to if it's raining/you need a break. 3: Group cosplays are more fun/safer! - What's better than just a Darth Vader cosplayer? Darth Vader being flanked by Boba Fett, Darth Maul & Stormtroopers! Or why not the Avengers roster? It's a great way to meet new people who share the same passions as you do. You're also less likely to be harassed if you're being flocked by a posse. 4: Work pockets into your costume if possible, in order to keep money/your wallet on you at all times. if you can't, then wear shorts underneath, or have a friend hold onto your valuables.
Let's be honest; I wasn't fully prepared for my first attendance at some pop culture convention (a major anime one in my country). While the line wasn't too bad, part of me wishes that I could've bought the pass/ticket beforehand. At least it was fun flattering the cosplayers as if they were the real-life versions of their respective characters.
I'll be honest, while it seems like a rip-off, early access passes are fantastic for just being able to look around at your own pace for a while. Admittedly I generally had press passes, but still, the space and freedom was fantastic.
Definitely agree on all points. Especially the shoes and the planning. Planning is your friend. There's too much going on to figure out what to do on the fly, and you'll definitely miss out on stuff if you don't have at least a few things on the todo list.
If you are even slightly nervous about crowds, you really want to start out a small con. The larger ones can be overwhelming, and don't even get me started on the behemoths like SDCC. My first convention was Dragon Con back in the 90s, and that was a real eye-opener for a newbie.
Totally agree with your tips, especially the planning and packing tips. Also, cons are definitely a place to choose your own adventure. If I remember correctly, I jumped in a pool with my clothes on one year at Wizard World Chicago.
I was planning on doing the same thing after I attended my first Con, GenCon. I think I'll do one just before the next Con I go to, but you are 100% right about all of this!!!!
If you are going to a far-away con, I suggest spending the money on a hotel room. Last con my friend and I had decided to save money on sleeping arrangements, and get spots in the sleeping hall. When we had arrived to the con, not a single security person seemed to know where the 'sleeping halls' were. On their webpage it was stated that they were a few hundred metres from the actual con. At 9 in the evening we found out where they actually were. Now instead of being a 5 minute walk, it turned out to be 3. Fucking. Hours. Without any extra money to get a taxi for that(that stuff sure is expensive), we had to walk- after all we were alone in a foreign country, so no one we knew could actually help us. It wasn't just walking either, this happened at wintertime in Sweden-- while we both were wearing shorts. We had been given a paper with 'directions', which in all honesty were too shitty to understand. To say it short we went home the day after omfg.
I think a very good and comfortable backpack with a water bladder in it would do nicely. If you think that makes you look weird, then just wear a flannel shirt, don't shave, and say you're Joel from "The Last Of Us".
Great tips! Especially on the planning and the bringing people. I got a weekend pass for my last con, but no one else was going with me the last day. It brought the experience down a little bit.
I think the one I went to was the first 'big' one Glasgow has had, and it was utterly packed. They were doing 'one in, one out' for a while cause it was so packed.
I'm going to Glasgow Comic Con in September with my friend (She is going as Harley Quinn & I am going as Mistah J) but I have never been and I have no idea what to expect. Although I am more concerned about AFTER Comic Con I would like to know if it is best to just get a hotel and stay there the night and we can take of our outfits and makeup or if it is better to just get a drive home in a car from the convention as I don't really want to walk the streets of Glasgow as the Joker hahaha. I also stay in a small-ish place called Clackmannanshire which is over an hour away from Glasgow on the train 😕
I've been to a few, DragonCon in Atlanta several times, and several smaller ones once or twice. Everything Scott says here is absolutely true and fantastic advice. I would even add more emphasis to his "plan ahead" point: also don't over-plan. Pick 3 or maybe 4 things and plan your schedule around going to them. Remember to plan time to eat. If you have time for a few secondary items, great, but if you keep your big ones in mind, you're likely to get to them on time and not tired/crabby.
First of all the first comic con I went to was in 2015 and today I just came back from this years. Now first of all do not bring a friend that will get bored. And bring a friend that won't get bored trust me. Then please please bring comfortable shoes your feet will be so sore
I went to my first con this year too! Denver just started ours last year, so it was a HOT MESS. I mean, registration was confusing and took forever and was kinda awful. But, I bought art, and saw cosplay (next year I wanna dress up! Rouge maybe?) and met my favorite line artist and got him to sign comics I've had since I was 13... it was pretty great. I agree with pretty much everything you said too! =)
I'm a regular con goer and MCM are usually the worst for queues as they are never managed well. Hopefully you'll enjoy your next con a bit more. Got any planned? Also yay the guys from Merlin! They're lovely
I was there and I saw you but was too shy to say hi; and you had you had your gaming face on at the retro booth and I know better than to stand in the way of someone in the midst of gaming.
Great tips! I went to my first con this year as well. It was the OZ Comic-Con in Australia. I mostly went there for the comic portfolio review but I really enjoyed the cosplays and the panels. Although, I did run out in the middle of one all panicked because I had to meet up with someone. Hopefully it wasn't too rude.
Thank you for this! I'm going to my first con with my friends in a few days, so I shouldn't have too much trouble- but it's near Miami and my character wears all black, long sleeve shirt, pants, a "scarf" and rain boots. I know it'll be dreadful until I get into air conditioning and honestly right now I'm willing to do that just to cosplay them, but otherwise I hope I'll be fine aha. Luckily the rain boots are actually kind of comfortable... Somehow. (*cough* I'm cosplaying Aizawa/Erasurehead from boku no hero academia *cough*)
I made the mistake with the shoes at my first con as well, never again. Also, lines, lines, lines everywhere even if you do get in early - last con I brought a pack of Zombie Dice for entertainment.
I try to make it to Albany Comic-Con every summer. It's small and mostly consists of lots of vendors and people buying comics. Though, there have been some interesting guests. Jim Starlin's been there. Ramona Fradon's been there. Ron Marz is there pretty much every year. My one regret is that I pretty much never talk to anyone there. It's one of the few times I'm ever surrounded by people with similar interests. This year, I think I'll go dressed as the 11th Doctor. Might serve as an icebreaker. Oh . . . one thing! It's not a bad idea to bring your Nintendo 3DS. Not necessarily to play games, but to pick up Street Pass tags.
My one and only con was in 1987, just after graduating high school, visiting GenCon, the Mecca of D&D at the time. I wasn't in any way organized, and much too reserved to really dive into things. The crowds are a bit too overwhelming for me to want to go again, despite the allure of a million cool things on display.
I was a wee tween when I went to my first con which led to a lot of very cringey behavior which I am still embarrassed by to this day. I guess my advice would be to take it easy and relax. Yes, be excited. It's an exciting place! But remember to settle down and be aware of the people around you and take a hint. I most definitely bothered a lot of people at my first convention but was just too hyped to notice. I specifically remember making a cosplayer really uncomfortable with a long, strong hug but didn't once think of how that made the person feel because I was just too excited.
Great video! I've yet to be able to make it to a con, but I could see myself arriving late, being really unorganized, and probably more worried about my camera than my experience. But, I'll now remember your tips and make my con time worth it! :D
Going to my first Comic Con this week... and it's SDCC... Comic Con International.😂 I'm expecting to be totally overwhelmed despite meticulously planning ahead. But hey, atleast I'll look nice in my hundreds of dollars worth of custom designed cosplay😆
I've never been to a con before and need a few tips! 1. Do you pay for everything (such as entry, photoshoots, panels and signatures ) online before or when you are at the con? 2. If you pay for entry, does that mean you can enter just for that one day or for the whole weekend. 3. For signatures can you talk to the people or is it really quick? Thanks for the help.
Hi, 1) While sometimes you can pay online beforehand, it's safer to assume you'll need to pay on the day. 2) It depends on what kind of ticket you buy. You can usually get single day tickets, or whole weekend tickets. 3) You'll get time for a very quick chat, but there's going to be a line of people behind you, so it'll be very brief. Anyway, hope that clears some things up, and that you enjoy your first con :D
I need some help. I'm around 13-16 and I've never been to a comic con. My Mom is taking me and I'm thinking about bringing my two friends. Comic con is in two days from now and I have no idea what to expect and I don't know if we should record or not. Any help? I just need to know what to expect, thanks.
Ok, the best advice I can give you is to bring cash so you don't have to queue for a cash machine, bring plenty of water cause it gets really hot, and if you want to record, then you totally should and then link me the vid 😀
Scott Tumilty I don’t even know what’s going on aha, I found out I was going a couple of days ago. Although I am attending a bnha meet and greet^^ will you be there?
I should be going to my second in April. Now mine is just the Indianapolis Comic-con so it isn't as exciting as some of the other places, but I plan to cosplay as Link. I was wondering if I should just get the sword at the convention or if i should just go ahead and buy one of the Internet. Any suggestions?
+TheSuperGamer I'd definitely suggest that you shop around, and try to see what kind of prices you can get online. While cons are good for things that you can't get anywhere else, the prices tend to be pretty steep. Or, if you're feeling creative, you could try and make the sword yourself?

+Scott Tumilty Okay, thank you for the suggestion. I know for sure though that I probably won't be making the sword mostly because of time limitations and the fact that I'm not quite that creative,
Are there any anime cosplayers, or even anime merchandise at comic con? I like comics also and there aren't many cons where I live and I can't go very far for conventions, so In order to cosplay something from anime it would have to be at a comic con. Is that okay to do?
Scott Tumilty i only have a certain amount of money. I’ve heard that when it gets to the end the prices go down? But I’m not sure what to buy if it’s not going to be there by the end!
Sometimes the prices go down, but it's not a certainty. I'd advise you to set yourself a budget that you're absolutely not going to go over, and only buy things that you really, really want. It's easy to get caught up in the spirit of things and go home with a load of crap that you're not really that interested in.
I'm afraid so. For photos and autographs with guests you'll need to pay, and to queue. If there's someone you really want to meet and get a photo with, I'd recommend seeing if you can book in advance, cause that stuff will sell out quickly. The website for the comic con should be able to tell you more. Just make sure you spend some time wandering about and seeing everything the comic con has to offer, as well as spending time in a queue :)
Scott Tumilty thank you, I was so happy thinking that I’ll see my favorite actors and have their a picture with them and stuff and while I was planning I figured out I need to pay 😔 I just can’t afford it But thank you anyway
@@Someone-vm8ek Maybe pick just one person you really want to meet? It's more than likely you'll get a chance to meet other people you admire at other comic cons in the future :)
I got there a bit late around 10:30 but it was kinda feeling empty. I felt like going home, but I waited 2 more hours then it really got good. I got to take some really good photos. My tip: - Keep walking around you'll eventually meet someone in a fantastic costume and if you ask nicely you'll always get a photo. - Deodorant is a must, - Don't be afraid to ask for photos or to friend someone on facebook - I had a fantastic time despite some of the merchandise over there were a bit too pricey.

+Yaoi God Bring a lunch, check out the import stalls, avoid the retro gaming stalls as they're overpriced. Best of luck.
I'm going to my first con in October and I'm so excited!!!

Man how does this only have 12,000 views? This deserves MUCH more
Well it's more than doubled now. I'M LIVING MY DREAM!
I was planning on doing the same thing after I attended my first Con, GenCon. I think I'll do one just before the next Con I go to, but you are 100% right about all of this!!!!
im about to go to my first comic con in portugal . that was very usefull thanks
Spotted the Genki Gear "release the attack kittens" t-shirt - I have that on a postcard on my desk at work, it always brings a smile to my face :)
I had to buy it at the con, due to sweating through my Alex Kidd one, it was that warm.
I'm trying to go to my first comic con in a couple of months as kenny from south park and i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ObviouslyARobot I'm going to my first in a couple months too, so excited! I'm cosplaying as Chara from Undertale!
That's awesome!!! I hope you have a good time!
Thanks! You too!
My first ever Comic Con will be next month. Excited as Fuck!!

OMG comic fans on Scotland woooohooooo
I'm soo ready for the fist con in my home town!! I only have one week to finish my cosplay
SquirtleBoy87 First con in your home town? It'll probably be fantastic. Good luck.
Is that long line for people who don't buy and print their own tickets? I bought one online but I don't know what to do
Great advice, and very entertaining!
Ty for the practical advice. Yes, life is short so get out there and do something different 😀
going to my first comicon in August I went to anime Boston last year and learned from some of the mistakes I made. like not bringing water.
Thanks for the tips!
+DaksLife 1 No problem man, go enjoy yourself!
Agreed. Attempting to figure things out on the fly just stressed me out and took up more time.
I'm a regular con goer and MCM are usually the worst for queues as they are never managed well. Hopefully you'll enjoy your next con a bit more. Got any planned? Also yay the guys from Merlin! They're lovely
Ty for this video! I'm preparing to go to my first con and rly enjoyed this video, you seem like a very fun person!
Okay, so how did the con go?
@@ScottTumilty I've been to multiple in the meantime :) i still remember wtahxing this video and being so scared to go
I'm going to my first this Sunday! :D I'm excited but also nervous lol.
Even though I was a bit late and really disorganised, I had a blast. Regardless of planning, make sure you go :)
I was there and I saw you but was too shy to say hi; and you had you had your gaming face on at the retro booth and I know better than to stand in the way of someone in the midst of gaming.
Great tips! I went to my first con this year as well. It was the OZ Comic-Con in Australia. I mostly went there for the comic portfolio review but I really enjoyed the cosplays and the panels.

Thank you for this!
I'm going to my first con with my friends in a few days, so I shouldn't have too much trouble- but it's near Miami and my character wears all black, long sleeve shirt, pants, a "scarf" and rain boots.
I know it'll be dreadful until I get into air conditioning and honestly right now I'm willing to do that just to cosplay them, but otherwise I hope I'll be fine aha. Luckily the rain boots are actually kind of comfortable... Somehow. (*cough* I'm cosplaying Aizawa/Erasurehead from boku no hero academia *cough*)
Well, we all suffer for our art. I'm sure you'll look awesome :D
That's definitely true! Especially considering some of the extreme costumes I've seen from videos w o w
Thank you! I hope so aha
I made the mistake with the shoes at my first con as well, never again. Also, lines, lines, lines everywhere even if you do get in early - last con I brought a pack of Zombie Dice for entertainment.

It's one of the few times I'm ever surrounded by people with similar interests. This year, I think I'll go dressed as the 11th Doctor. Might serve as an icebreaker.

Do it, dooooooo it!
My thanks :)
Going to my first con in September
I was a wee tween when I went to my first con which led to a lot of very cringey behavior which I am still embarrassed by to this day. I guess my advice would be to take it easy and relax. Yes, be excited. It's an exciting place! But remember to settle down and be aware of the people around you and take a hint.

Mate, don't feel bad for being excited when you were like 13 or something. We all learn as we get on and get older :)
Yeah, the guys from Merlin were really nice :)
I've got Eurogamer Expo this weeks, and if I can afford it I might go down to London Comic Con.
Indeed. Plan plan plan.
Always know where your towel is! Ha ha oh and DON'T PANIC! Lol
Haha those handshakes
Great video! I've yet to be able to make it to a con, but I could see myself arriving late, being really unorganized, and probably more worried about my camera than my experience. But, I'll now remember your tips and make my con time worth it! :D
Going to my first comic con in Hull in December ^^
Well, how was it? #LongGame
Lmao I really enjoyed it and now all my money goes to cosplay xD
going to first comic con today!!!
+lizard king GO FORTH!
For the love of god, if you're going to stay for the entire weekend/event, take a fucking shower EVERY DAY.
This is not negotiable.
The important question is what were you dragging around all day that you regretted? Other than that hangover?
Nicely done :)
I'm going to my second comic con tomorrow!
Joey F going to my second and third one on the 24th and June 15
Well ... we're going to bugger all now aren't we?
It's not too late :)
Cheers man :)
Going to my first Comic Con this week... and it's SDCC... Comic Con International.😂
I'm expecting to be totally overwhelmed despite meticulously planning ahead. But hey, atleast I'll look nice in my hundreds of dollars worth of custom designed cosplay😆
Nothing like jumping in at the deep end. I'm sure you'll have an absolute blast :)
You're brave, and very lucky to get a ticket. It's my favorite convention. Hope you had a great time.
I think planning, and friends are the way to go.
Actually, get a group of you in badass looking cosplay. PEOPLE WILL MOVE!
I think I'm in love, not to be creepy or anything
Which one? The Spider Man one, the Alex Kidd one, or the Attack Kittens one?
Note that 'all of the above' is a valid answer :)
I'm going to my second one in September
Same I'm going on the 19th of September at Brisbane, do they sell paintball guns at comic con
I've never been to a con before and need a few tips!
1. Do you pay for everything (such as entry, photoshoots, panels and signatures ) online before or when you are at the con?
2. If you pay for entry, does that mean you can enter just for that one day or for the whole weekend.
3. For signatures can you talk to the people or is it really quick?
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
1) While sometimes you can pay online beforehand, it's safer to assume you'll need to pay on the day.
2) It depends on what kind of ticket you buy. You can usually get single day tickets, or whole weekend tickets.
3) You'll get time for a very quick chat, but there's going to be a line of people behind you, so it'll be very brief.
Anyway, hope that clears some things up, and that you enjoy your first con :D
@@ScottTumilty thanks for the tips! I can't wait 😊😊
I like to be polite :)
Are you going to Glasgow Comic-Con in September? If so I may see you there.
I need some help. I'm around 13-16 and I've never been to a comic con. My Mom is taking me and I'm thinking about bringing my two friends. Comic con is in two days from now and I have no idea what to expect and I don't know if we should record or not. Any help? I just need to know what to expect, thanks.
Ok, the best advice I can give you is to bring cash so you don't have to queue for a cash machine, bring plenty of water cause it gets really hot, and if you want to record, then you totally should and then link me the vid 😀
around? lol did you forget your age
Josh Rayner Yes, and I didn't end up going because my mom popped my dads car tire

Not a bad line up from what I can see. What are you most looking forward to?
Scott Tumilty I don’t even know what’s going on aha, I found out I was going a couple of days ago. Although I am attending a bnha meet and greet^^ will you be there?
Either way it sounds like fun. Sadly Manchester is a bit far for me to travel this month, but I'm sure you'll have the best time.
Heh, at least you're not the 'free hugs' guy.
Showing that homosexual shirt when talking about "spreading the love" was very perverted.

I have that T-shirt!! :-)
My comic con is this Sunday, like idk if it starts 3-5 but what time should I actually be there? Idk
I'd say look up the website, find out the opening times, and then get there earlier, because there's going to be a big queue.
I should be going to my second in April. Now mine is just the Indianapolis Comic-con so it isn't as exciting as some of the other places, but I plan to cosplay as Link. I was wondering if I should just get the sword at the convention or if i should just go ahead and buy one of the Internet. Any suggestions?
+TheSuperGamer I'd definitely suggest that you shop around, and try to see what kind of prices you can get online. While cons are good for things that you can't get anywhere else, the prices tend to be pretty steep.
Or, if you're feeling creative, you could try and make the sword yourself?

+Scott Tumilty Okay, thank you for the suggestion. I know for sure though that I probably won't be making the sword mostly because of time limitations and the fact that I'm not quite that creative,
+TheSuperGamer Time is the killer one, although you might surprise yourself if you give it a shot :)
hey! are you going to comic con Glasgow this year?? I'm going 24th for the first time :)
I'll be there both days. If you see a Captain Boomerang wielding a camera, then it's most likely me.
my mom was going to take me to comic-con but she had to have surgery so mabye next year.
+halle cannon I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she gets better soon :)
Thank you for saying that it means alot to me because many of my friends haven't said anything and here someone on the internet did😹
+halle cannon No problem :)
I feel like a loner because my friend can't come because she is going to a music festival so I'm gonna be alone ._.
Are there any anime cosplayers, or even anime merchandise at comic con? I like comics also and there aren't many cons where I live and I can't go very far for conventions, so In order to cosplay something from anime it would have to be at a comic con. Is that okay to do?
There are loads of anime cosplayers, and merchandise at comi con. Trust me, you'll feel right at home.
Yea theres alot of anime cosplayers and shops that i expected on my first comic con
Yay! Briefly me!!! :P
Yay a Glasgow nerd guy! Subbed :)
Wow u met Alex Hunter before he was Alex Hunter
Yup. I'm a pioneer.
can i sell things there like posters and stuff
At first I read 'sell' as 'smell' and to be honest it freaked me the fuck out.

Piece of advice for yall . WEAR CLOTHING! This may seem unessacery but you might feel left out when you ar the only one without a t shirt :(!
When you buy stuff, how do you pay them?
NINJA105 Usually cash, sometimes card.
Scott Tumilty it's going to be my first time to comic con this year.
Does the items in the comic con cost a lot of money or are they a normal amount?
They're super expensive. Bring lots of money, or your least favourite sibling for bartering purposes.
Scott Tumilty i only have a certain amount of money. I’ve heard that when it gets to the end the prices go down? But I’m not sure what to buy if it’s not going to be there by the end!
Sometimes the prices go down, but it's not a certainty. I'd advise you to set yourself a budget that you're absolutely not going to go over, and only buy things that you really, really want. It's easy to get caught up in the spirit of things and go home with a load of crap that you're not really that interested in.
Scott Tumilty ok thanks a lot, this’ll be my first comic con so I’ll probably get carried away 😂😂
No problem, let me know how it goes for you :)
I’m going to my first comic con, and I think I need to pay for an autograph or a picture with some famous, is it true?
I'm afraid so. For photos and autographs with guests you'll need to pay, and to queue.
If there's someone you really want to meet and get a photo with, I'd recommend seeing if you can book in advance, cause that stuff will sell out quickly. The website for the comic con should be able to tell you more.
Just make sure you spend some time wandering about and seeing everything the comic con has to offer, as well as spending time in a queue :)
Scott Tumilty thank you, I was so happy thinking that I’ll see my favorite actors and have their a picture with them and stuff and while I was planning I figured out I need to pay 😔 I just can’t afford it
But thank you anyway
@@Someone-vm8ek Maybe pick just one person you really want to meet? It's more than likely you'll get a chance to meet other people you admire at other comic cons in the future :)
Scott Tumilty ok Thank you I will do that
@@Someone-vm8ek Awesome, I hope you have an incredible time :)
Is it hot or cold at comic con
Boiling mate.

I got there a bit late around 10:30 but it was kinda feeling empty. I felt like going home, but I waited 2 more hours then it really got good. I got to take some really good photos. My tip:
- Keep walking around you'll eventually meet someone in a fantastic costume and if you ask nicely you'll always get a photo.
- Deodorant is a must,
- Don't be afraid to ask for photos or to friend someone on facebook
- I had a fantastic time despite some of the merchandise over there were a bit too pricey.
Good advice, glad you had fun :)
When should I buy tickets for the 2017 comic con??
Gabriela Palacios As soon as you possibly can. They sell out quickly.
how much is con stuff
It's pretty expensive, but worth it
+Tigerhunter887 it's not expensive lol it's only 40-50$ but the tickets are sold out
Was I playing Goldeneye? Because I assure you I got tanked.
Seriously though, please say hi next time. I am genuinely nicer than I look :)
And I look like a creep for touching your face :P
Cosolaying at first con is bad idea. Also I have no real liefe geeky friends.
That sounds messy. Very messy.
