Getting there

Parking is under DeVos Place, open 24 hours, entered from Michigan Street or Lyon Street (you can't turn in heading west on Michigan). It takes credit and debit cards.
If it's full, try the City-County Building across Monroe Avenue or other ramps nearby. The drop-off zones out front aren't for parking.
Tickets can be picked up at a participating comic shop (no service fees) or the Ticketmaster booth at DeVos Place. Three-day pass holders get a limited-edition badge at check-in.

All rooms are accessible, DeVos Place has automatic doors, and there are elevators at both ends of the Grand Gallery lobby.
Accessible parking is in the ramp under DeVos Place; bring your current disabled placard and matching ID.
Wheelchair spaces are kept in the seminar rooms and film festival, but space is limited, so arrive early. A friend can hold your place in line; there's no early access or line-skipping.
DeVos Place has a few wheelchairs to borrow, kept in the First Aid office (you sign a release form). No scooters.
Free large-print programs at the main lobby information desk.
Service animals are welcome on a leash or under your control. For other needs, contact DeVos Place's ADA facilitator (616-742-6600) at least two weeks ahead.

Children under 5 get in free. Under 12s must be with an adult at all times.
Ask before photographing a cosplayer.
No alcohol. DeVos Place is smoke-free, e-cigarettes included; smoke 25 feet from the doors or in a designated area.
Lost something? Ask Guest Services during the show, or call DeVos Place Security on 616-742-6638 afterwards.

Weapons must be obviously fake: plastic, foam, rubber or soft wood. No steel or metal weapons, no real weapons (even BB guns without firing pins), and no wooden or aluminum bats.
Guns need an orange tip and can't fire anything, darts or water included. Untipped guns go back to your car or get taped orange at the door.
No gas-powered props (even broken ones) and no balloons.
Costumes are PG-13 or cleaner, with shoes on. Masks must let you see properly, and keep big wings or armor out of the way of aisles.

Food and drink are sold inside by the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, DeVos Place's caterer. No outside food or drinks.
Bring an empty water bottle and fill it inside.
We couldn't find dietary options listed by GR Comic-Con or DeVos Place.

Restrooms have accessible facilities.
Family restrooms are in the Grand Gallery by the women's restroom, on the Overlook level near the elevators, and outside DeVos Performance Hall by the Monroe Avenue entrance.
We couldn't find gender-neutral toilets listed by GR Comic-Con or DeVos Place.

In a medical emergency, tell any staff member, Guest Services or Security straight away.
Nursing rooms are on the Street Level and Overlook Level, on the west side of DeVos Place.

Bullying and harassment (assault, intimidation, stalking, unwelcome comments) aren't tolerated: people are removed with no refund, and police may be called. Ask before you touch or hug anyone.
GR Comic-Con's anti-discrimination policy names sexual orientation; it doesn't mention gender identity.
Cosplay that's inflammatory, racist or discriminatory isn't allowed.
Report a problem to staff or security, who wear a badge on a lanyard and a black logo shirt. If you have a personal protection order, email it ahead to Event Director Mark Hodges (mark@grcomiccon.com) and the con can ask that person to stay away.
