Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of stuff do vendors sell at CoMo?
The Vendor Floor is separated by different sections. The sections include Main Vendor Hall includes mostly retro video games, Artist Alley hosts art vendors that sell art based on video games/pop culture items, and Comic/Card Corner hosts a collection of comic book/vinyl/card vendors. The table prices depend on what section you are in. To become a vendor, please visit the “Vendors” page on the website.
When do attendee tickets go on sale?
You can expect admissions to go on sale in about 1 1/2 months from the show date. For example in 2022, our show was on April, 10th; then we started selling tickets on February 27th. Also, keep in mind if you want a VIP ticket (t-shirt, early admission, etc)… get them immediately! They tend to sell out the quickest.
How can I volunteer at the CoMo Convention?
If you want to volunteer at CoMo, I would recommend contacting us through the contact page on the website. We tend to set up volunteer lists periodically as we figure out how many people we’ll need over time.
