Dallas Comic Con Attendance Increases

More than 25,000 fans made their way to this year’s Dallas Comic Con, which wrapped up its three-day show on Sunday, May 19, at the Irving Convention Center. By comparison, last year’s Dallas Comic Con drew about 20,000 fans over the course of two days.

“Adding a third day to the schedule helped spread out the people but Saturday remained the busiest,” said Ben Stevens, co-owner of C2Ventures, which produces Dallas Comic Con. “As we continue to grow, we’re constantly exploring ideas and ways to make it better.”

Dallas Comic Con organizers are anxiously awaiting the planned adjoining hotel, which will include a 300-space parking garage, a sky bridge linking it to the convention center, and an additional 20,000 square feet of meeting room space. Construction is expected to start later this year with the hotel scheduled to open in 2015.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Comic Con staff continues to bring in guests, artists and activities that make its events family friendly and fun for all fans. Next up is Fan Days, Oct. 4-6 at the Irving Convention Center.
