Philly Collector Con 2026

Before you book

The promoter invites public visitors to shop, buy, sell or trade at this event. General admission is free, as explicitly announced in the description or available general-admission inventory.

Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Dates, hours and access

• 2026-10-17 · Independence Seaport Museum · Hours not confirmed · America/New_York · Public attendance period

Announced attendance dates are listed with their access rules. Hours are shown only when confirmed. Check the organizer for pass-specific access and changes.

Choose your anchors

Pick the panels, artists or guest activities that matter most, then group nearby stops on the floor plan. A celebrity listing does not guarantee every-day attendance; check each guest’s announced dates. Leave time between activities for walking and lines.

Budget beyond the badge

Separate admission from optional autograph, photograph, merchandise and special-event spending. Check whether a photo opportunity needs its own reservation and whether a panel uses a separate queue or ticket.

Prepare for cosplay and crowds

Read the current costume, prop, bag and photography policies before packing. Ask before photographing another attendee. Keep costumes manageable for travel and allow time for any announced prop inspection.
