Ive been to every Raleigh Supercon so far and it gets better every year. Tons of celebrities, comic book artists, local & regional artists and craftspeople and of course tons of things to do and geek out on. I truly love this convention.

Such a fun experience! Loved the guests! Layout was easy to understand. Only issue was a volunteer approaching a child I was watching and attempting to rip a sign off his neck. This did put a damper on the experience.

Best birthday weekend of my life the first time, I went my homies had paid for the tickets and treated me the whole weekend. The vines was awesome, I met two of my favorite VAs, participated in a well oiled tourney. It was just awesome

Wow. I had a fantastic time. These are just a few random arts and things at the con. I will definitely go again next year. I meet a ton of people Jay Mewes, Jonah Ray, Unknown Hinson, Dana Snyder, Tim Curry, Meatloaf, Mick Foley and a bunch of other people and artists.If you enjoy cosplay, Galaxycon had contests and there were hundreds of people dressed as people from games/movies/animes.It’s a great event for people of all ages also. Bring everybody :)

First time going to the Galaxy-Con. The event was better than I could ever imagine! Met Billy Yost and Kristy Swanson. Lots of vendors and food options, had a great nerd festival feel. Would highly recommend going!

New convention center management was terrible. The managers placed vendors in a hotel that was as far as 15 minutes to walk. The building was clean and nice but the employees knew nothing about anything. They were nice as they could be given the circumstances.

Good guest lineup but too crowded with very few traditional con booths and prices (for autographs, photos, etc) were outrageous. Also, apparently theres no dress code. Saw plenty of skin showing on quite a few cosplays. Im not a con newbie (Mechacon, NOLA; Coastcon, Biloxi; LouisiAnime, etc - I attend cons large and small) or prudish, but I literally saw a girl unbutton her blouse and dance around in her bra in the main area (near the front doors, by the DJ table), regardless of all the young ones around. And this was early afternoon. Definitely not family friendly.

Had a great time at Raleigh Supercon! Went on Friday to avoid the large crowds and it paid off.

Fun, friendly, professional and successful venue. We had a blast here. They did great. Only complaint is the ATM machines were all down except one but I think the convention center shoulders that responsibility more than the venue.

There are always some naysayers Michael Mauldin who says it was a waist of time and should have been free! I dont know if any of you know how much a convention costs to put on but it is in the 10s of thousands!! So the little they charge you to get in is a drop in the bucket. Not to mention the amount the vendors have to pay for a booth. Just enjoy yourself and come with an open mind dont look for the bad because nothing is perfect.

Very people friendly and not insanely expensive like Wizard World Con a few years ago. This is a great one to attend.

Great convention! 2017 was Supercons first time in Raleigh and they did an excellent job. Great price on badges, website is super easy to use, and you get a ton of VIP stuff just for booking at their host hotel (not to mention a discounted rate they had negotiated with the hotel.) The crowd wasnt too big at all, it was a very relaxed, comfortable environment. Looking forward to next year!

Within days of purchasing photo passes, autograph tickets and admission tickets to see the one person my daughter wanted to see, the show sends us an email saying the star has cancelled but has been replaced with someone else. Upon requesting a refund, I was told tickets are non-refundable. Normally I see things like this in the event a customer changes their mind, but when their marquee celeb theyve been promoting cancels - in my eyes, the rules have changed. Yes, this info might be clearly stated - but my review is the same... If I buy tickets to a U2 concert, Im expecting to see Bono sing, not just the band perform some musicals. This company clearly doesnt find a problem with it, and I wont ever spend money with them again.

Plenty of spots to cardio & well placed spots for land. The buildings are a perk to the inner location.

This was a great convention and it was nice to have a larger pop culture con in the Raleigh area. They even gave our local group a free booth to promote our local Met Up group.

Review №32

Mostly a good experience, except for a lack of communication between staff and patrons / staff and staff. I spent 30 minutes walking in circles with a leg injury, looking for an actor’s booth, and asked a staff member where to find him; staff member had no idea as he was not where the directory said he would be, but she did her best to give me a possible answer and sent me on my way. We made another circle with no luck, and after asking 2 more staff members we were told that Witwer had cancled and was not in attendance— a fact which we did not see on the cons website, twitter or Instagram feeds. Granted all other cancellations were noted on the website, it was very frustrating to be looking around for ages for Witwer’s booth while staff/other resources were unable to help due to a lack of proper communication.
