Tokyo Comic Con 2026: Do I wait for celebrity schedules to be announced before I buy admission tickets?

[u/AndromedaVoid]

Hi, I'm planning on going to Tokyo Comic Con 2026 mainly for the Photo Op/Autographs of the Phelps and their and Panel/Stage shows as well. I'm not sure if I would be able to go on all of the days. In any case, I will most likely be purchasing tickets for 1 or 2 days.

My plan is to wait for the photo op/autograph schedules + the panel/stage schedules to be announced (and purchase those individual tickets) before I make my decision and figure out on how many days I would need to go.

For people who have been to TCC, would it be advisable to wait until these schedules are announced before I make any ticket purchases? I'm afraid that the tickets might sell out the longer I wait. The website explicitly says "Sales Period from 12:00 on July 27th (Mon), 2026 It will be finished once the planned number is reached." Though, so far in the Hollycon website all the 1-day tickets and 3-day tickets seem to be in stock.

Sounds like you're keen in at least one panel / signing, so you're 90% going anyway?

if ever any cancellations happen with my target celebrity, yes i'd most likely still go. it's just that their panel and signing are my priority
