Check Wizard World’s website for additional guests appearing at the convention that may interest you from other popular sensations such as Star Wars, Back to the Future and WWE.
The Walking Dead novelist and Road to Survival videogame story writer Jay Bonansinga will be an exhibitor at Wizard World along with hundreds of other artists, exhibitors and vendors. There are sure to be souvenirs related to The Walking Dead for you, if you attend.
There are VIP packages available for Norman Reedus. Last year, VIP holders were the only ones who were able to see Norman, but he was only there one day. Hopefully, everyone will get a chance to see him this year even without VIP passes.
Jon Bernthal has a VIP package available as well. I met Jon Bernthal last year. He was very friendly. I imagine he’ll be even more popular now because of Daredevil.
Sunday general admission is $50. Saturday general admission is $60. A 4 day admission pass runs $94.95. Just from experience, parking in the convention center is $15 for the day. All of the general admission prices and links can be found here.
