COMIC CON STOCKHOLM
We have been organizing Comic Con since 2014 and have created unforgettable memories for tens of thousands of young and old fans in Malmö, Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Stockholm. 2023 will be the tenth year that Comic Con has been held since its premiere in 2014 (with a pandemic break in 2020). We also moved from Kistamässan to Stockholmsmässan and attracted over 44,000 happy visitors to the event.
We produce the Nordic region’s largest event for popular culture!
With us you can experience activities inspired by TV & film, meet current actors, cartoonists and digital creators. Also take part in world-class cosplay or play new games before anyone else. Comic Con is a magical experience for both young and old.

Tickets
When purchasing a ticket to Comic Con Stockholm, you will have access to the entire event during the times and day(s) listed on your ticket. Your ticket gives you:
Access to all stage activities and panels (subject to space).
Access to the entire exhibition floor and exhibitor activities (age restrictions may apply for some games).
Opportunity to meet your favorite celebrities and invited guests (autographs and photos cost extra).
We have introduced a price ladder where we sell our tickets in three stages: Blind Bird (lowest price), Early Bird (discounted price) and Standard (regular price).
- Blind Bird: We offer a ticket type at the Blind Bird price. This ticket has the lowest price because no content is booked yet. You get entry throughout the weekend.
- Early Bird: buy your ticket at a discounted price! We offer you a discount because you buy your ticket so early (before we have booked a lot of content and guests). All our tickets (except Artist Alley) are initially sold at Early Bird prices, then the price increases and all tickets are converted to Standard tickets.
- Standard: the tickets are sold at the regular price
A FASTPASS ticket includes:
- Admission to Comic Con on the selected day
- Fastpass admission
- Fast track Heroes Meet
- Fast track Main Stage
In the popular Artist Alley area, cartoonists, illustrators, writers and other creatives exhibit and sell their work. The ticket includes admission for ONE person all day and a guaranteed seat in our Artist Alley with a table (120x50cm) and chair. Please note that we are only releasing a limited number of tickets. Read more about Artist Alley here.
Select the day you want to visit the event by clicking on the desired date in the calendar. Then click on the “Tickets” button, which will display the different ticket types available for that day. Select the ticket that suits you best and follow the instructions to complete the purchase.
Both yes and no. We do not have any physical sales on site, but only sell online. You will of course be able to buy tickets via Ticketmaster online, provided there are tickets left.
Check your spam folder to see if the email ended up there. If it’s not there, please contact our ticket partner Ticketmaster.
Once tickets for the selected date have sold out, you will not be able to buy tickets for that date. This is to ensure that we do not take in too many people according to the safety and fire regulations in place. However, we recommend that you check if there are tickets available for the other event dates.
If children’s tickets are sold out on the day you wish to visit Comic Con, you can purchase an adult ticket instead.
A booking can be cancelled until payment has been made. The Distance Contracts Act’s rules on the right of withdrawal do not apply to the purchase of event tickets. Once payment has been made, the customer is therefore bound by their purchase. Refunds of purchased tickets are not possible.
No, unfortunately it is not possible to change the day on the ticket. However, you can try to sell the ticket and then buy a new ticket for the day you want to go.
No, event tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are not personal. The ticket provides entry to the event once and the person holding the ticket has access to the arena.
Then we recommend Ticketmaster Resale! These tickets are sold by fans, for fans.
Unfortunately, you cannot get a refund on your admission ticket. We understand that it is very disappointing that you will not get the chance to meet your favorite guest, but we promise that there will be plenty of other fun things to do at the event.

Want to take a picture?
Ask first!
Together we create a positive and respectful atmosphere where everyone can enjoy their passion for cosplay without fear or discomfort.
Not at all! We encourage our visitors to cosplay, with or without the competition.
- Your weapon must be permitted under the Swedish Weapons Act, and the Knives and Other Dangerous Objects Act.
- If your weapon does not resemble anything that could be dangerous to others (for example, a replica made of papier mache), you do not need to worry about breaking any of our rules. Items intended as toys for children up to 14 years of age (e.g. a one-ton plastic water pistol) are allowed. Items that cannot be mistaken for a real weapon (e.g. a lightsaber from Star Wars or a phaser from Star Trek) are also allowed in the exhibition hall.
- Weapon replicas, for example airsoft, are approved if they have a safety plug in the muzzle and are otherwise clearly harmless.
- Replicas of e.g. knives, swords, axes are okay (these weapons must not be sharp).
- It is forbidden to use nails, sharp edges or the like if these can hurt people.
- It is forbidden to have a drawn sword/knife replica in the exhibition hall. During cosplay photo shoots or on stage, it is allowed to pose with a weapon that is permitted under Swedish law but which should not be drawn in the exhibition hall.
- You may not aim your weapon at others.
- If an incident should occur during the event, immediately drop your weapon and keep your hands visible. This helps guards and police quickly determine that you do not pose a danger.
Comic Con guards and organizers reserve the right to check at any time that your weapon does not violate the rules.
Most people are happy to be in the picture, but ask first and be respectful! Cosplay is not consent!
Yes, there is a dedicated cosplay room for those who cosplay. Please note that space is limited and we are not responsible for any belongings. If you would like your belongings to be guarded, you can hang your things in the closet.

Yes! We welcome children and families with children as a natural part of Comic Con Stockholm.

Yes, we have children’s tickets for children between 4-12 years old. Children under 4 years old enter for free.
We recommend that all children under 12 years of age come with an adult, but this is not a requirement. Children over 12 years of age are welcome to visit the fair on their own, with parental permission and full responsibility. It is a very large event and we cannot take any responsibility for children who come without a parent.
Yes, you can, but at your own risk. It is often crowded and difficult to get around in the hall.
There is a breastfeeding room where you can heat baby food and porridge.
STAGE ACTIVITIES
& PANELS
All stage activities and panel sessions are included in the ticket price. Please note that all our stages have limited seating, so seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
We have several stages at Comic Con Stockholm. It’s best to check which stage the activity is taking place on, and then look on the hall plan where that stage is located. There are also signs indicating where all the stages are. Of course, it’s great to ask any of the volunteers who are there to help you!
FUNCTION VARIATION
Yes. Please note that it can sometimes get very crowded with lots of people moving around on the exhibition floor. It is most crowded during the day on Saturday. If you want it to be a little quieter, we recommend visiting us on Friday or Sunday.
Yes, companions enter for free with someone who needs it as long as documentation can be shown.
At Comic Con Stockholm we strive to create an inclusive and accessible experience for all our visitors. That’s why we now offer a special wristband for visitors with disabilities who can show their ID. With this wristband you get access to “Fast Track” in the same places as those with Fast Pass tickets (at the entrance, Heroes Main Stage, Heroes Meet and Creators Corner). This wristband does not replace the entrance ticket and you still need to have a ticket to Comic Con.
To get your wristband, you show your ID at the information desk at Stockholmsmässan (so you don’t send the ID to us in advance). If you have a companion with you, they will also get a wristband. Once there, you will then show the wristbands to our volunteers to be able to use the Fast Pass queue. We hope this makes your visit to Comic Con Stockholm both smoother and more enjoyable.
Bracelets for people with disabilities can be collected at the information desk only in the main entrance.
Yes, there will be a quiet room.
FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY
Yes. We take photos/films ourselves and our event also attracts a lot of local and national press. When purchasing a ticket you agree that you may be filmed and/or photographed and that the material may be used for marketing purposes.
Yes, on the trade show floor. But you must make sure to get permission from the person you want to photograph or film. If the person does not approve, you must respect this.
At several of our celebrity panels, you are not allowed to take photos or film. You will be informed of this before the panel starts.
