Registration forms can be found on the Cincinnati Comic Expo website: The dates of the show do fall on the same weekend of Cincinnati’s famous Oktoberfest. Registration for artists and vendors is currently open and available for submission. The fans can follow the latest news and for the Cincinnati Comic Expo through Twitter and Facebook, and links to those can found on the website. Fans that purchase the package will have access to the show floor on Friday evening to browse and purchase comics and other merchandise from retailers before the rest of the general public has access the next day. This year, for the first time, the Cincinnati Comic Expo is also offering a Friday Preview Night for those that purchase the VIP package. Tickets can be purchased at the door or people can purchase ahead on the Cincinnati Comic Expo website: The show has always stressed to people to purchase online ahead of time and avoid waiting in lines on the day of the show. Tickets to the public are currently on sale. The City of Cincinnati now has thousands of comic fans that will spend more time downtown between the exciting days of the show. So you can expect more artists, vendors and activities," said Satterfield. A weekend event finally allows us to do all the things we need to do to become a regional event. Also, fans and vendors outside our region are hesitant to travel for a one day show. Programming and activities were limited because of scheduling constraints. "The main issue everyone has had with a one day event was time itself. No more having to worry about the show closing in one-day and they can enjoy the atmosphere. The fans now have more time to meet with their favorite artist, purchase comics, and enjoy the show. The location gives them more room and allows more to attend in what is quickly becoming a popular show. Dealers and artists now have more time to meet with fans and display their work. These 2 decisions will be of great benefit to comic book dealers, comic book artists, comic book fans, and the City of Cincinnati. They want us to take our event to the next level and they supported it by last year’s attendance increasing 40%! We are one of the fastest growing pop culture shows in Ohio." Then the energy from our fans and vendors last year was overwhelming. The number one question I received from fans was always about the expansion of the show. After the inaugural event in 2010, the momentum for a 2-day show was rapidly building. Cincinnati Comic Expo Director Andrew Satterfield said, "The Cincinnati Comic Expo has been a complete success. The Cincinnati Comic Expo has also continued to outgrow their confines of space and has decided to move to Exhibit Hall C of the Duke Energy Convention Center. The Cincinnati Comic Expo always has maintained the goal to "make next year bigger and better than the previous year." For 2012, in only its 3rd year of existence, the Cincinnati Comic Expo is taking its largest leap to date and hosting the show on September 22nd and 23rd, a Saturday and a Sunday!
