Your accreditation for Manga-Comic-Con

Journalists and bloggers with valid credentials can apply for accreditation. You can find an overview of the accreditation guidelines (PDF, 94 kB) here. Camera operators, sound technicians, etc. will receive day passes on-site.

Pre-accreditation enables faster access to the trade fair on site, but is not a mandatory requirement. On-site accreditation with valid proof is possible at any time during the entire duration of the trade fair at the Media Centre during opening hours. However, to ensure that everything runs smoothly, we recommend pre-accreditation online.

After a successful check, your application will be activated. You will then receive the ticket (as well as the parking ticket) by e-mail and can download them. Should a corresponding proof be missing from your application, we will contact you immediately.

Accreditation is a permanent ticket. You can enter the grounds as often as you wish over the course of the trade fair.

Admission to the hall is only possible during the official opening hours. Earlier admission is generally not possible. However, if you have an urgent need to enter the exhibition centre in advance, please contact us in advance and explain your reasons for early admission. We will do our best to take your requirements into account and, if necessary, grant early admission authorisation.

Accreditation is valid as a filming permit during trade fair opening hours. You therefore do not require any further filming authorisation. However, it is imperative that you observe the personal rights of other visitors and especially cosplayers and discuss your filming wishes with the actors in advance. If you would like to film before or after the trade fair closes, you will require an additional filming permit. In this case, please contact the press team.

Authors who run an established blog on topics relevant to Manga Comic-Con can apply for accreditation.

Please note that there are special requirements for the accreditation of bloggers (PDF, 94 kB) – for example, the blog/vlog must have existed for at least one year and the name of the blogger must appear in the imprint.

Since there is an ever-growing number of bloggers, we have introduced various quality criteria to verify bloggers. In addition to having a subject-specific connection to Manga Comic-Con or the Leipzig Book Fair, the blog must have existed for at least one year at the time of the event and be continuously maintained.

Yes. Since the accreditation of the blogger/vlogger is done under their name, they must have a clear connection to the blog – this can only be confirmed if their name is included in the imprint.
