Comiket 2026 Tickets: Official C108 Dates, Prices and Entry Guide

Comiket 2026 tickets: C108 dates, prices and entry

Comic Market 108 (C108) takes place at Tokyo Big Sight on August 15–16, 2026. Comic Market 109 is scheduled for December 29–31, 2026. Genres and circles change completely each day, so choose your date from the official C108 placement guide before buying admission.

This guide was checked against Comic Market Committee pages on July 12, 2026. Availability and event-day operations can change.

C108 admission at a glance

Admission	Entry	Price	Status on July 12
Early Entry	10:30	JPY 5,000 + JPY 385 issue fee	Lottery closed; sold out
Cosplay Changing Room Early Entry	changing room 8:00/9:30; halls 11:00	JPY 3,000 + JPY 385 fee	Lottery closed; sold out

Admission is sold separately for each day; there is no multi-day wristband. On-site sales are limited to PM wristbands after 12:30. The official guide recommends advance purchase because on-site admission costs more and is expected to have a long queue.

International visitors unable to buy an AM wristband in Japan can use the official eplus route. The e-ticket must be exchanged for a physical wristband near the Rinkai Line station after 8:00. Capacity is limited, and this exchange does not place the holder at the front of the AM queue.

Early Entry is name-specific. The printed name must match an original passport or Japanese-government-issued photo ID; copies, phone images, overseas driving licences and student IDs are not accepted.

Do not buy resale admission

The Committee prohibits resale of C108 tickets and wristbands. Resold admission is invalid and cannot be used to enter. TIXVOY therefore does not sell or broker C108 admission; use only the official sales routes.

Arrival and cosplay rules

Do not wait around the venue overnight. The Committee says overnight waiting is a serious safety and neighbourhood issue and gives no queue advantage. It also recommends avoiding excessively early arrival during the extreme summer heat.

After admission, anyone may use a cosplay changing room for a JPY 500 daily registration fee. Arriving or leaving in costume and changing or applying makeup in toilets are prohibited. Ask each cosplayer before taking a photo and never block a walkway.

C108 will not use East Halls 4–6 because of construction, so use the current C108 map rather than an older Comiket layout.

Choosing the right C108 admission

Choose admission by the time you actually need to enter, not by a generic idea that the earliest option is always best. Early Entry was a name-checked lottery product and is already sold out. AM admission starts after the Early Entry queue and is the practical remaining option for visitors who need morning access. PM admission is the lowest-cost option for visitors whose priorities are scheduled later in the day, but on-site purchase is more expensive than advance store purchase.

The East and South/West Early Entry products used separate entrances because waiting space is limited. Once inside, participants may move between halls unless crowding or safety restrictions are introduced. Visitors should therefore select an entrance near their first destination when a product requires that choice, then recheck the C108 map rather than relying on a map or routine from an older edition.

Ticket issuance, refunds and children

Early Entry lottery winners must issue the paper ticket at a FamilyMart in Japan. The official guide recommends doing this before the day of Comiket and away from stores near Tokyo Big Sight, because nearby stores may run out of the special ticket paper. An unissued, lost or forgotten ticket cannot simply be replaced at the venue.

Issued tickets and wristbands are non-refundable. This also applies if the event is cancelled, according to the current official ticket conditions. Check the ticket type, date and entry area before completing payment or issuing the ticket.

One child aged 15 or younger may enter free with one adult who holds valid admission, but they must arrive and enter together to receive the child's wristband. A child entering separately needs their own ticket or wristband.

A safe event-day checklist

1. Confirm that the wristband or ticket is for the correct date; C108 does not offer a two-day pass.
2. If using an AM e-ticket, save the QR code and go to the official exchange point after 8:00 to obtain the physical wristband before joining a line.
3. If using name-checked Early Entry, carry the accepted original photo ID and the already-issued paper ticket.
4. Put on a store-bought wristband before arriving at the waiting line.
5. Check the current information map, because East Halls 4–6 are closed for construction.
6. Avoid overnight or unnecessarily early waiting. The Committee specifically links this rule to public safety, local residents and heat risk.
7. Monitor official announcements for weather, congestion and operational changes before leaving for Tokyo Big Sight.
