How much are tickets for the 2024 San Diego Comic Con?

San Diego is beautiful in July.

Clear skies, dazzling, blue ocean water and a bit of sun make for the perfect summer weather.

However, the city’s biggest attraction won’t be its climes in the coming weeks; no, the main reason tourists flock to SoCal in the dog days of summer is likely because they’re coming to town for the 2024 San Diego Comic Con.

Set to take place July 24-28 — “without a virtual event, pandemic protocols or labor strike cancelations for the first time since 2019,” according to Variety —  this year’s main attraction will be huge stars from iconic film and TV franchises like Marvel Studios, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who” and “The Walking Dead” sitting in on lively panels.

Just a few of those household name actors gracing the hallowed halls of the San Diego Convention Center include Chris Hemsworth (“Transformers One”), Keegan-Michael Key (“Transformers One”), Kevin Smith, Colin Farrell (“The Penguin”) and the casts of popular sitcoms “Abbott Elementary” and “What We Do In The Shadows.”

Yes, the “Spongebob” voice cast will be there, too.

Plus, you won’t want to forget the many, many, many comic and graphic novel artists (seriously, so many) on hand, too.

And, if you want to be there, last-minute tickets are still available.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on five-day general admission passes was $1,187 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Single-day passes start at $354 before fees.
