San Diego Comic-Con 2025: Essential Badge Pick-Up and Event Details Announced
The much-anticipated San Diego Comic-Con 2025 is set to welcome attendees starting July 22, with essential details released regarding badge pick-up and event information. Participants can securely collect their badges and gain access to exclusive items during the event at the San Diego Convention Center.
Badge pick-up begins on Tuesday, July 22, for all badge types. Attendees are advised to visit the Sails Pavilion for badge collection, where they can receive several free items, including a commemorative Toucan pin, a souvenir show bag, a program book, and a badge lanyard. This year’s Toucan pin features a design celebrating the event’s connection to San Diego Comic-Con Málaga.
It is important for attendees to understand the badge personalization rules. Personalization must not obscure any artwork or essential information on the badge. If a security guard determines that a badge has been obscured, attendees may be required to visit Badge Solutions. Additionally, non-removable decorations can lead to a badge replacement, with fees potentially applying.
For international attendees who did not provide a domestic shipping address, or those with lost or stolen badges, collection must be done at the Sails Pavilion. An Undelivered Badge Form is necessary to deactivate lost or stolen RFID badges. Furthermore, single-day badge holders can pick up their badges on July 22 or starting at 3 PM the day before their respective badge day. Attendees can also collect all single-day badges at once, beginning at the earliest pick-up time for their selected days.
To pick up badges, attendees must present a valid photo ID and barcode confirmation. It is also crucial to note that badges cannot be collected on behalf of others in one’s group, ensuring personal accountability in the pick-up process.
Transportation and Special Offers
The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) is offering discounted multi-day passes for Comic-Con attendees available through the PRONTO app. To accommodate the expected increase in visitors, the MTS will provide expanded service during the convention, including a special event Trolley line launching on July 24. In addition, MTS will distribute free coin banks, sponsored by Nintendo and Crunchyroll, at select locations from 8 AM to 10 AM daily, while supplies last.
Event Highlights and Exhibitor Information
While Comic-Con enthusiasts prepare for this year’s festivities, some notable absences have been announced. Sony Pictures will not be attending San Diego Comic-Con 2025, joining Marvel, Warner Bros., and Paramount in skipping Hall H. This shift suggests a renewed focus on the evolving landscape surrounding film and television promotional strategies.
In the realm of exciting reveals, Hasbro is set to debut a glow-in-the-dark Real Ghostbusters Ecto-Glow Heroes Collector’s Set during the event, while the Buster Muster cosplay meetup will return, hosted by the San Diego Ghostbusters on Saturday, July 26, at 5:30 PM. This event promises to bring together fans eager to showcase their creativity and passion for cosplay.
Exclusive collectibles will be on display from Mighty Jaxx at Booth #2601, featuring popular properties such as One Piece, TMNT, and SpongeBob. Items to watch for include the limited-edition Glow-in-the-Dark Luffy Gear 5 and Gold Luffy Gear 5 figures, along with the first-ever availability of the One Piece: Egghead Arc blindbox series at the convention.
As preparations are made for an exciting weekend of fandom, attendees are encouraged to stay informed about all Comic-Con updates through official channels to maximize their experience at this iconic event.
