If there is one event that could be defined as the premiere comic convention for fans, it’s San Diego Comic-Con, or SDCC.
Held annually in San Diego, California, the event has been home to some of the biggest moments in pop culture fandom. These include the time Andrew Garfield, who was then cast as Spider-Man in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, crashed a panel at SDCC in 2011, or when the Avengers first assembled onstage in front of fans the same year.
Fans were also thrilled two years later when Tom Hiddleston appeared onstage as Loki and demanded the crowd swear their fealty to him if they wanted to see any announcements from Marvel. Here is a look at how fans can buy tickets for 2025’s SDCC, and everything you need to know about how to do so.
