CAN I SELL COUNTERFEIT GOODS?

Counterfeit goods or unlicensed goods impact the industry negatively and Comic Con does not condone this practice. We encourage vendors to be respectful and ensure all products have the right licensing/permission in place. No counterfeit goods should be sold at the event.

CAN I SELL ITEMS OF AN ADULT NATURE, INCLUDING MATURE-THEMED CONTENT, AT COMIC CON?

Yes, however these items cannot be publicly displayed on the show floor as Comic Con is promoted as a family friendly show. You may have a sign on your stand that guides visitors to enquire about sexually explicit items, but it would be your responsibility to ensure that they are over the age of 18 by performing an ID check on site.

The buying and selling of counterfeit/knock-off/unlicensed materials is not tolerated at Comic Con Cape Town. Comic Con Cape Town is a celebration of the best of popular culture, and bootlegs have no place in the show. Violation of this rule will result in one and only one warning. A second violation and you’ll be removed from the show.

WEAPONLIKE PROPS IN THE VICINTY OF THE CON AND DURING PUBLIC TRANSPORT TRAVEL TO THE CON

You as a fan are able to help us improve event security, fan safety and the overall happiness of everyone at or near Comic Con Cape Town. If you have a weapon or prop that might intimidate or scare people, please be mindful of it as you carry it near the venue or on public transport. If you have a weapon that might be misconstrued as a real weapon, please keep it concealed and do not carry it out in the open as you travel through Cape Town. We would hate to cause unnecessary panic, upset, or unwarranted calls to the police. We really appreciate you being mindful of this and using common sense when it comes to props and costuming!

WEAPONS AND BAG CHECK

Management has sole discretion in any matter that it believes may affect public safety or be important to protect the integrity of the event.

CAN I BRING A SUITCASE TO THE SHOW?

No. Carts and luggage on wheels will NOT be allowed during show hours. Exhibitors needing such items for legitimate business purposes will be allowed access at the opening and closing of business each day. This is a safety issue and no exceptions will be made.

WHAT IF I’M HARASSED?

 Harassment of any kind, including stalking, deliberate intimidation, unwelcome physical attention, and physical assault and battery, will not be tolerated at Comic Con Cape Town. If it’s illegal outside the venue, it’s illegal inside the venue. Harassment is grounds for removal from the show without refund as well as potential legal action. We want Comic Con Cape Town to be a safe, open and accepting environment for all fans. If you are a victim of harassment at the show, please contact the Comic Con Cape Town Organiser’s office immediately.
