Yes, themed game nights, trivia, and similar activities do happen — keep an eye on the schedule and social media for the specific announcements, since these tend to be revealed closer to the event rather than locked in far in advance. The lineup of these kinds of activities can shift from event to event.
No, special event tickets can’t be purchased on their own — every special event attendee needs to also hold convention admission to participate, even if the special event itself falls before or after the main convention days. The special event is treated as an add-on to your Camp ticket, not a standalone purchase.
Thursday Will Call for Inclusive VIP runs from 3 to 6 PM, and it’s listed specifically as “iVIP Will Call + Box Office” — meaning this early check-in window is reserved for iVIP ticket holders rather than open to everyone. General Admission check-in begins the next day.
General Will Call for all ticket types runs Friday 11 AM to 7 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM, all listed as “All Tickets Will Call + Box Office.” These are the windows to plan around if you’re picking up a ticket that isn’t tied to the Thursday… Read More »What time does general Will Call open Friday through Sunday?
There isn’t a physically shorter line for Inclusive VIP at Will Call — the advantage iVIP guests get is early access on Thursday rather than a separate, faster line during the regular hours. That earlier check-in window is effectively how iVIP guests avoid the busiest Will Call rushes.
If you’re not an Inclusive VIP ticket holder, you can arrive at any time regardless of your specific ticket level — there isn’t an early cutoff that keeps General Admission attendees out until later in the day. Just note that Thursday’s Will Call window is iVIP-only, so General Admission check-in doesn’t open until Friday.
Friday functions more as a check-in and special-events-and-parties day than a full programming day. The main convention runs 11 AM to 6 PM Saturday and Sunday, while Friday is listed as a Will Call and Box Office day (11 AM to 7 PM) built around special events and parties rather than the full slate of panels… Read More »Is Friday a full convention day or just a preview?
No, doors don’t open earlier than the posted public start time for any ticket tier. The published hours are the actual hours, so there’s no unlisted early access beyond what’s already noted for iVIP Will Call on Thursday.
No, closing times are the same across ticket tiers — there isn’t a different cutoff for iVIP versus General Admission at the end of the day. Everyone works within the same posted hours once the event is underway.
Yes, lines do start forming before Will Call technically opens — attendees can begin lining up as early as one hour before their specific ticket level’s door time. If you want to be near the front once doors open, plan to arrive within that hour-before window.
