My Terrible Comic-Con Hall H Experience

During the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con, hundreds of wrist-banded people who stood in line for Saturday’s Hall H panels were not let in. Comic-Con says that every Hall H wristband holder who returned by 7:30 A.M. on Saturday was admitted into Hall H. I was one of those wristband holders, and I wasn't admitted. I have timestamped photos and videos documenting what happened. I’m sharing this because I believe attendees deserve an accurate explanation of what happened and fair treatment when published procedures don’t match the outcome. #sdcc #comiccon 0:00 Intro 0:33 What is Hall H? 1:23 Next Day Wristband Guidelines 2:40 My Experience - Friday 4:40 My Experience - Saturday 9:14 Sunday and Talk Back Panel 11:37 Comic-Con’s Official Statement 12:23 How did Hall H reach capacity before all wristband holders were admitted? 13:25 Comic-Con’s Updated Statement 13:50 Final Thoughts
