SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- San Diego Comic-Con badges go on sale to the public in November, just over a month after badge sales for returning attendees sold out this past Saturday.

But there is still good news -- anyone who didn't get the days they wanted or any tickets at all during Saturday's returning member ticket queue can try again in November.

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 badges go on sale to the general public on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025. The open registration queue waiting room opens at 7:30 a.m. PST that day. Sales start at 9 a.m., and those waiting will be randomly selected to purchase badges, the website states.

Anyone can sign up for Comic-Con tickets on Nov. 15, you just need to create an account and get a member ID.

Purchased badges will be mailed to the address listed in your member ID.

Next year's Comic-Con will take place July 23-26, 2026, with preview night on July 22, at the Convention Center in downtown San Diego.
