MCM Comic Con welcomes members of the press from around the world and is happy to provide approved media members with a complimentary press pass. As with all ReedPOP events, MCM Comic Con is a ‘fans first’ event, which means your press pass allows access to panels as long as space is available, and we will have a limited number of reserved seats for press on a first come first serve basis for select panels.

MCM Comic Con press registration is open for media members regularly making editorial contributions (editorial press) only. Editorial press includes writers, reporters, reviewers, producers, photographers, cameramen, etc. who are attending specifically to write about MCM Comic Con and/or cover the event for newspapers, magazines, TV, podcasts, radio, etc.

Please understand that simply submitting this form does not guarantee you a press pass.

Your press pass DOES NOT allow:

• Early or special access or guaranteed seating into MCM Comic Con

• The ability to cut lines

• Free access into any events requiring an additional ticket

• Guaranteed seating at panels and event

MCM Comic Con reserves the right to approve or deny any application and limit the number of press pass provided to any organisation or individual. There will be no onsite creator registration at MCM Comic Con. Each pass is issued individually and is non-transferable and non-resellable.

All press pass registrations are subject to approval. If you have been approved, additional information regarding press pass distribution will be provided in your confirmation email and receipt.

You are required to pick up your Press Pass from the North Lorryway door 1 / N1 at MCM London & EGX, or from the Queue Hall at MCM Birmingham and you are responsible for bringing the correct paperwork with you.

After reading this page, if you believe you fit the criteria and you intend to promote and attend MCM please click through to the online form which follows. Complete this form in its entirety. Incomplete applications will not be approved. You must be aged 16+ to qualify for a pass.

Press passes are issued on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of MCM Comic Con – if you are part of a press team, each individual must apply separately.

And remember: Answer every question as truthfully and completely as you can. Please provide as much and as detailed information as you can. Incomplete and vague applications will not be approved.

Approvals will be sent out on the 3rd Friday of each month, applications close 2 weeks before the show. Any questions please contact [email protected]

Press passes are only for journalists and photographers working on behalf of specific news outlets. If you are a cosplay photographer planning to post content on your own social media channels and not affiliated with any newspaper, you should apply for a creator pass, NOT a press pass.

MCM Comic Cons are vibrant events which offer a variety of photography opportunities. Taking photographs is encouraged - no special permission is needed to bring a camera to the event. The event, venue, and attendees all have expectations, so please note we have rules and guidelines in place that apply to everyone at an MCM Comic Con.
