I heard there is no security checks at Power Morphicon. Why don’t you have these in place? I don’t feel safe without it.
Power Morphicon and its staff want to ensure you feel safe and happy on site at all times. We will have random bag and ID check onsite and We have Pasadena police on-site during the show (reflective of San Diego Comic-Con and their procedures) to ensure any emergencies or situations can be handled by trained officers of the law. Note that the officers on site will be a blend of uniformed and non-uniformed police.
Your Rules and Regulations say that I’m not allowed to use any of the photography or videography that I take at the show for my own or commercial use. What does this mean? Can I not sell my photo prints or make videos of my PMC footage on my YouTube channel?
There is a lot of confusion here so please let us clarify what we mean in the Rules and Regulations. Individuals may take pictures and videos for private viewing. What this means is that if you are filming for television, a documentary, a televised news outlet, or your professional reel, Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express needs to know so we can sign an approval or release form.
If you are a photographer, press member, YouTuber, or podcast creator, you do have permission to do as you wish with the Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express footage you capture. This includes photos of your peers, the show floor, its guests, or interview material.
I am a cosplayer and I saw a picture of myself from last year’s PMC on your social media. Why didn’t you ask permission to use my image or tag me?
Acceptance of a Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express admission constitutes consent to be filmed or photographed by Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express staff or approved industry or media during the Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express event without compensation to you. Your acceptance of a membership and attendance at any Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express event, including the convention, constitutes a grant of rights to Power Morphicon Convention/Power Morphicon Express to reproduce, display, distribute, perform, create derivative works from and otherwise use any footage or parts of the footage that it affixes in any media and in any manner throughout the world in perpetuity, including on the internet, broadcast, satellite and other transmissions.
All participants in the Cosplay Contest will be asked to sign a Release Form prior to entering the contest, understanding that once the photographs are taken by Convention Staff during the event, the photos are the property of the Convention to use in any social media or promotional material we wish.

What are the Power Morphicon Exclusives and Limits per membership?
Purchasing limits will be the same across all memberships, unlike PMC 2018 where each membership had different limits. To reiterate, every membership will be able to buy the same numbers of exclusives.
What are you doing about Badge pick up? I waited too long in line last time. I don’t want to wait next year.
We are very sorry about the wait time last year. We have switched to a new registration system called TIXR and all memberships are able to be easily scanned for instant check in. We also have a full day zero on Thursday August 25th just for badge pick up.
I am hesitant to pre-order a non-attendee membership because of issues last year.
We have a new registration system in place to not have those issues. Additionally, all Pre Sales will be shut down much sooner and not so close to the 2022 show date. This includes careful counting of all stocks and how much we are selling on-site at Power Morphicon.
PMC advance tickets are Memberships?
Correct—purchasing memberships online is a non-refundable membership. Power Morphicon is and always has been a membership-based event. When you purchase a ticket package, you are agreeing that there are no refunds to the Power Morphicon membership. Memberships can be revoked at any time during the event. PMC membership allows you to attend the event or have your membership sent to you for non-attending. If you cannot make the convention, you can pay to upgrade the membership to non-attending before the event. Requests for membership changes cannot be made more than 10 days after the event. Non-attendance does not entitle you to a refund of the membership.
