Fans wanting to avoid delayed entry into the upcoming
Dallas Comic Con: Fans Days have until midnight Tuesday (Oct. 1) to pre-order
tickets at www.fandays.com. Tickets also will be available on show days but
will not be sold until all pre-registered guests already in line when the doors
open have entered the building. The show runs Oct. 4-6 at the Irving Convention
Center, 500 W. Las Colinas Blvd.
“This
new policy will allow customers who pre-order tickets to get into the show
faster,” said Ben Stevens, co-owner of C2Ventures, which produces Dallas Comic
Con. “Box office ticket sales may be delayed until at least noon on Saturday –
our busiest day – so anyone wanting to avoid the wait should pre-order as soon
as possible.”
The three-day show will feature more
than 50 actors and artists signing autographs, meeting fans and answering
questions during special panels. Other events include adult and children
costume contests, special effects make-up workshops, Q&A panels, a CosPlay
Red Carpet, photo opportunities, and dozens of vendors and exhibitors.
