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.
