There are a lot of things to keep in mind when you attend a show the size of WonderCon Anaheim 2017 ... so let's review!
In addition to select DC Entertainment autograph signings for Jim Lee, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, and others which require you to head to Hall D each morning to try for a wristband — Comic-Con International has revealed the list of WB, ABC, and other TV series which also require a ticket draw to attend.
On Friday morning, you can try for Riverdale and Time After Time, while on Saturday you can try for Annabelle 2‘s director David F. Sandberg (again, pretty much confirming it’s the second film in that Saturday WB panel block), and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Finally, on Sunday, stop by for a chance to attend signings with the casts of Gotham and Lucifer. Although start times for the autograph pulls are listed, they typically start earlier — so if it’s important to you, plan on getting there early (by WonderCon standards, anyway).
There are other author autograph signings all weekend, but for most, you won’t require a ticket — though some are paid. You’ll need to check with each booth in Hall A for their specifics, but in attendance will be The Maze Runner author James Dashner, Genevieve Valentine, Chuck Wendig, Hope Larson, and others.
You can find the full schedule of WonderCon-sponsored signings on MySched.

With WonderCon just a few days away, we’re seeing a lot of announcements from artists, designers, and more who will be there. If you’re having trouble keeping up, or you just can’t decide where to go first, don’t panic.

Comic-Con 2017 Open Registration is on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Pretty cunning, don’t you think?
The process is virtually the same as last year, in that beginning at 8AM PT on April 8, eligible attendees will be able to access a waiting room using their Registration Code. That code will be both e-mailed to attendees and also found in your Member ID under the “Registration Info tab”. If you haven’t already made a Member ID, unfortunately, you’re out of luck until 2018, as CCI has currently closed the system off to new members.
Once you’ve verified your code on the morning of the sale, you’ll be able to stay in the waiting room until 9AM PT, when you’ll be randomly placed into a line to await your turn to check out. For those who had previously purchased a Four-Day badge without Preview Night, you’ll be able to add Preview Night on as a stand-alone option for $45 (and if you purchased any other combination of single day badges, so long as you didn’t purchase Preview Night, you can also pick up extra days). Confused about your eligibility? Simply login to your Member ID and look for the green checkmark on top that says you’re OK.
Here’s a look at the prices for badges this year:
Once you’re into the system, you’ll be able to purchase up to three badges, including one for yourself.
The San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog will be hosting a live Google+ Hangout during the sale beginning at 8:30AM PT on April 8, as well as sharing any glitches or issues that crop up during the sale on Twitter. We’ll also have our Visual Guide up shortly.
You can read the full update on Comic-Con International’s Open Registration page.
Will you be trying for a badge next weekend? Let us know in the comments.
WonderCon week is finally here (SQUEE!). Have you downloaded your update for the CCI app yet? Hopefully, you’re gathering all the info you need for that handy-dandy spreadsheet to help you navigate WonderCon 2017.
