VISITORS FAQ

This year the Long Beach Convention Center kindly confirmed to park our visitors, first come first serve. Although space is limited, there are many other parking options available in the Long Beach neighborhood. For more information, please check our website VISITOR INFORMATION PAGE
Q) I WAS IN A VERY LONG LINE TO PURCHASE A TICKET AT THE ENTRANCE. CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
Last year, our QR Code ticket scanning windows had a much faster flow than the lines for ticket purchasing. Our admission ticket price will increase by $25 on the day of the show, so we recommend pre-purchasing your tickets. Please note that general security checks can also slow down the lines at the entrance from time to time.
Q) DO YOU SELL ADMISSION TICKETS ON LINE and ONSITE?
Yes and it is $25 on site, please expect a long line. You can purchase E-tickets online for your convenience at $20. Please note that both ticket types will use the same line until the line reaches to the sales window.
Q) Why do you have only 1 entrance?
Out of an abundance of caution we will have heightened security, so there will be only one initial entry point on the North/East side. We will have other gates for exit and re-entry with a hand stamp. Be prepared for bag checks and wanding to take place at each entry point by security.
Q) I AM A VISITOR. CAN I BRING FOOD? BACKPACK? CHAIR? ICE COOLRS?
Sorry, no outside food allowed.
Chairs – portable ones are okay. No coolers. Only beverage in small container is allowed.
