The pop culture event of 2023 is finally here! San Diego Comic-Con has been the biggest comic convention in the U.S. for decades, and a top destination for movie and TV stars for more than 20 years. This year’s convention is going to be an exception that rule, since many of the actors, actresses, and writers will not be present due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. But don’t think for a moment that this means people won’t show up for Comic-Con. The tickets were sold out months ago, and fans have plenty of other ways to get their Comic-Con on.
Before we dive into this year’s panels, we want to give you some much-needed advice to handle the long days inside and outside of the San Diego Convention Center. The first piece of advice is simple: Bring your own food and water whenever possible. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself waiting in line for an hour for overpriced convention food and bottled water that’s several more expensive than it would be in a regular store. Having your own food means that you waste less time in line, and you save more money for things you can actually keep. And if you need more food while you’re at the show, there’s a Ralphs at 101 G Street, which is just under a half mile away from the convention center.
Another thing to remember is that the bag check area is your friend. There’s no reason that you have to carry around your heavy bags all day. Comic-Con allows fans to check and reclaim bags during the convention center’s regular hours. However, there is only a limited capacity for bag check, so it’s better to go early than to find all of the spots taken later.
For a typical Comic-Con, the hot ticket would be any of the movie or TV panels in Hall H. But since there are very few Hall H panels this year, it means that the roughly 6,500 fans who would ordinarily be in there will instead be spread out across the other areas. So there’s a very good chance that the dealer’s room floor will be more crowded than usual, and so will the other panels.
If you’re coming to Comic-Con primarily to see specific panels, then try to show up as early as possible. None of the other rooms have anywhere near the capacity of Hall H, which means some people will be left out. The best way to avoid that is to give yourself plenty of time to navigate the line. Arriving between 40 and 60 minutes early should give you enough time.
Another thing to keep in mind about the panels is that they aren’t just being held at the Convention Center. So make sure that you know where your destination is, and that you have enough time to get there. Most of the alternate locations are simply short walks away from the Convention Center. With enough time and planning, you should be able to see just about anything you want. To get you started, we’ve included every programing panel from this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, which you can see below separated by date, time, and location.
