Is there a cosplay repair station on-site for quick fixes?
No, there isn’t an on-site cosplay repair station for quick fixes. It’s worth packing a small emergency kit (safety pins, fabric tape, etc.) if you’re wearing an elaborate costume, since repairs will be on you rather than a service the venue provides.
Do actors ever react to or comment on fan cosplay of their character?
Yes, actors do sometimes react to or comment on fan cosplay of their character — it’s part of the more personal, informal interactions The Camp is known for. It’s not something you can guarantee will happen, but it’s a real possibility.
Where do I find the vendor and sponsor product listings?
Vendor and sponsor product listings aren’t released before the event, so you won’t be able to preview exactly what will be for sale ahead of time. Browsing the vendor hall in person during the event is currently the only way to see the full lineup.
Is there an artist alley separate from general vendors?
No, there isn’t a separate artist alley distinct from the general vendor area — artists and vendors are part of the same overall space rather than split into two distinct sections.
Is parking pass information emailed in advance or only given at Will Call?
Parking passes are handed out when you check in at Will Call to retrieve your tickets, not emailed ahead of time. Build that into your arrival plan so you’re not expecting a pass to show up in your inbox before the event.
Is there valet parking at the Crowne Plaza?
No, valet parking isn’t offered at the Crowne Plaza for this event. Attendees should plan on the standard on-site or off-site parking options instead.
Can I pay for on-site parking even without an iVIP ticket?
No, on-site parking is reserved for those with the appropriate ticket tier — you can’t pay for on-site parking separately without holding an iVIP ticket. If you don’t have iVIP, off-site parking with the free shuttle is the route to plan around.
Does the Hilton Garden Inn shuttle run all day or set times only?
The Hilton Garden Inn shuttle runs during select times rather than continuously throughout the day — check thecampevents.com/ptc/shuttle/ for the specific schedule, since exact times can shift closer to the event.
Is the shuttle free for iVIP Off Site guests?
Yes, the shuttle is free for all attendees using it, including Inclusive VIP Off Site guests. It’s provided at select times as part of getting between the Hilton Garden Inn and the venue, with a 4-minute walk available as the alternative if you’d rather skip the wait.
