However, they may have gone to other cons?

I bought a phone case (specifically a Marauders Map iPhone wallet card case) in 2025. I have searched the internet high and low for another one OR the vendor. I’m not finding it.

Does anyone know of the vendor by any chance? They had tons of pop culture phone cases for practically every phone in existence.

Thank you in advance!!

(I actually think I may have bought this case at MegaCon BUT I know I’ve seen this vendor at other cons. So fingers crossed)

HIII YALL!! me and my friends are going to fan expo toronto this summer and I was wondering if any of yall have any tips and advice (pretty nervous too since this is my first time)

I’m wanting to get a game box signed by John Rhys Davies, but I’m confused how the autograph schedule works.

On his bio page a price for autographs is listed, but on the schedule he is only listed under PhotoOps not under autographs unlike many other who are listed under both.

Does this mean he isn’t signing autographs or is he just not doing pre-scheduled autographs?

Is there a thread or group that posts guest prices at the table? I like to be extremely prepared and have a strict budget, but there are always suprise options or table selfies that arent listed online.

Hi there,

This will be me first time attending Fanexpo Toronto since I became disabled, so I'm trying to figure out how accessibility at the Toronto convention works. I contacted Fanexpo's customer service, but they keep just referring me to their policies that I already read.

I have an invisible disability - I have chronic pain but I do not use mobility aides. My friend joins me at conventions as my "support person" - she helps hold things, waits in lines, etc. From my understanding, she would get a free pass, but I'd need to request it from their accessibility table on the day of the convention. Does anyone have experience going through this process? Do they ask for any "proof" or ever give anyone a hard time getting that support person pass?

I typically go to Anime North, and every year they change whether they will give her a free support person pass or not. So, I want to make sure all my bases are covered before I go to Fanexpo. I just dont want her to be denied at the door and then she has to go wait in the presumably long line to get her ticket, but I also don't want to buy a ticket for nothing if I don't have to.

On that note, how is it locating the accessibility table/how long is the line typically? I'm only there on the Sunday this year, so I want to make sure I'm making the most of the convention.

Thank you!

Is it the same price for autographs for guest when you purchase it online and also at the booth if you plan to get it at the booth or is it different at the booth then purchasing it online

So I am planning to go to that fanexpo again this year in Rosemont IL and I was wondering what is the difference between a silver ticket and a gold ticket for the guest live panel and is the gold ticket worth it for the price?

Hello! So I'm going to the fan expo in Toronto August and wanted to ask some questions.

I'm mostly excited to see Jennifer English but I'd rather not buy an photo op.

Idk how these things work .-. In the comic con website u have to pay for everything and there are options to buy like autograph, selfie, photo op, voice.... but in the expo con website there's only the photo op option.. does this mean i can hug her and perhaps take a selfie without paying?

And i don't have any costumes to wear :( is it bad to just go with normal clothes?

Tried upgrading but then changed my mind. It allowed me to refund my upgrade cost but not my original fair. Idk whats going on.

Was everyone able to get all 4 signatures? It was such a shit show when we went. We got in at 10AM, couldn’t find a map to locate the autograph area then when we got down there, they called the line until 1:40PM. We came back at 12PM to line up and got kicked out for lining up then tried to line up again at 1PM but got shooed away because the line was called AGAIN. I don’t understand how they expect people to get in 4 separate lines to get 4 signatures.

We also didn’t know we were supposed to redeem our QR codes before and some celebs were taking QRs and some weren’t but none of that was actually explicit.

Under the Celebrity page, if you click on William Shatner and Walter Koenig, it says autograph and photos for both. But if you to the autograph purchase area, it only offers the option to buy a photo op. Is this common? Will autographs be available closer to the date? Or is it more likely they will not be signing autographs?

Hey this is my first fan expo and I see a lot of talk that I should pre order my autograph if I can. There is someone I want to see who I can pre order now but the times are not listed yet. Is this time a personalized slot to get my autograph or just a general time when the line itself opens and I’ll just be waiting in line when the line opens?

Can you record the supernatural panel today? Or no 🙂‍↕️

Does anyone know if there’s parking at the actual Anaheim Convention Center? I know the Fan Expo website was saying to use Spot Hero but I have a friend who can’t walk too far

Hi! This’ll be my first ever Fanexpo! I’m going to the one in Anaheim! I know it’s got a lot of big names going so I’m wondering what I should expect? Especially upon entering the convention. Me and
My friends specifically are hoping to meet the Hobbits! And we live in the LA area so it’s around an hour trek for us. So, how is the line getting in on average? Is it better to be an hour or so early, or is it more like AnimeExpo where you gotta be there in the wee hours of the morning? Thanks!

Is re entry allowed to the convention? Going today in Anaheim and I haven't been able to find a solid answer on if i can leave and come back once I check in.

Hello! I am in the process of creating a whack of friendship bracelets to give out to cosplayers at Fan Expo Toronto. I have asked around a bit and got a pretty excited response so I am really looking forward to it.

I have a list of fandoms going that I am creating for, but was looking for any additional suggestions? The caveat being that I am gonna have to be able to recognize a costume in order to offer a bracelet. Unfortunately, that is gonna rule out most anime. I am trying to watch as guests are annouced and create for those as well.

Fandoms I have in the works:

• Lord of the Rings

• KPop Demon Hunters

• Hazbin Hotel

• Disney Princesses

• Barbie

• Scooby-Doo

• Neopets

• Pokémon

• Super Mario Bros

• Marvel

• DC

• Horror (Michael, Freddie, Ghostface, Jason, Chucky, Saw, Pearl, and Midsommar)

• LOST

• Star Wars

• Star Trek

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer

• Dune

• Supernatural

• Doctor Who

• Dexter

• The Hunger Games

• Nirvanna the Band the Show (the Movie)

I feel like I have a pretty good base going, but I also feel like I may be missing something obvious. Thank you for any and all suggestions.

I’m so heartbroken that I can’t go this year because of work, I really wanted to see everyone from Lord Of The Rings and Mark Hamill. Is there another event that they will attend in California that I might get another chance to see them?
