Motor City Comic Con welcomes individuals of all abilities and is committed to providing an accessible experience for all attendees. We continually evaluate and improve our accessibility efforts and welcome feedback to help enhance the experience for everyone.

Below is information outlining the accessibility accommodations available for this year’s event. If you have any accessibility-related questions or specific needs, please contact us here and our team will be happy to assist.

MC3 offers ADA wristbands to guests who may have mobility, physical, vision, hearing, cognitive, psychological, or other disabilities, including those that may not be immediately visible. The ADA wristband identifies you to staff and security as someone who may require accessibility accommodations.

Please note:

• ADA wristbands do not provide admission. A valid event admission wristband is required.

• ADA wristbands are issued for one individual only and are valid for the duration of the current convention.

• Wristbands may not be redistributed, resold, or transferred. Misuse may result in revocation of admission without refund and removal from future MC3 events.

Guests with an ADA wristband may use a shorter line for autographs and selfies.

• Priority seating for guests with disabilities is provided when available.
• All on-site panel and screening seating is first come, first served, and seating cannot be guaranteed.
• Guests needing accessible seating for on-site panels or screenings are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the event so staff can best assist.

Off-site screenings:
Guests who require accessible seating for off-site screenings are encouraged to contact us in advance so we can coordinate accommodations with the off-site venue.

Due to the popularity of MC3 events, we recommend planning ahead for panels and screenings that are most important to you.
