Promo code for Comic-con available

For Fanshawe students only, a promotional code for London Comic- con tickets is available.

London Comic-con will take place September 25-27 at the Progress building in the Western Fair District.

Andrew Kitt, operations and marketing manager, says the goal is to have a Disney World kind of environment.

“We’re talking Comic-con fully immersive environment,” he said. “Walk in the doors, you’re going to be able to see the celebrities doing Q&As, you’re going to be able to sit in cars from movies like the De- Lorean time machine, you’re going to be able to play video games.”

Kitt says after the success of Comic-con in June last year, he decided to go full-blown.

“Our goal isn’t to do a London version of Comic-con,” he said. “Our idea is to a Comic-con that rivals everything in Toronto and wherever.”

“What we lack in size we’re going to add in value. You pay your ticket price and everything else we can include, we’re going to include with that ticket price.”

The promo code can go towards single-day passes, which range from $13 to $30, and is valid until the end of the school year.

Though the event isn’t until September, Kitt says tickets are already selling.

Currently, there are three actors slated to be at Comic-con: Michael Biehn (Terminator), Jeff Kober (The Walking Dead) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy). Kitt says there will be more celebrities added to the roster.

“We’re excited [the celebrities] bought into what we’re trying to do,” he said. “We’ve got a bunch more guests to be announced soon. We’re not done yet.”

Tickets can be found at londoncomiccon.ca and Fanshawe students can use the promo code FSUSPRING to receive a $7 discount toward single-day passes.
