ReedPOP have issued Health & Safety Guidelines for the upcoming MCM Comic Con shows in London and Birmingham, taking place between October 22nd – 24th and November 13th – 14th respectively.
We’re excited to welcome you back to MCM Comic Con!
As always, your health and safety are our top priorities. We’ve implemented new guidelines and policies to help support a safe experience. Every attendee, including fans, exhibitors, artists, guests, crew, and staff, are expected to comply with our health and safety requirements, including:
Proof Of COVID-19 Status
To ensure the safety of the event, and following pilot event results and latest government advice, everyone entering ExCeL London and NEC Birmingham will be required to provide one of the following:
a. Proof of full course of vaccination.
b. Proof of negative COVID test within the last 48 hours (Lateral flow test is accepted).
c. Proof of natural immunity shown by a positive PCR test result for COVID-19, lasting for 180 days after the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period.For more information on national guidelines, please visit the government website. For guidance on children and vaccines, please follow the latest government advice.
Reduced Capacity
Attendance and tickets will be limited so that we can ensure physical distancing, in line with our safety measures. We are working closely with the venue to determine how many people are permitted in the building each day and at a given time.
Mask Friendly Event
We strongly encourage attendees and visitors to continue wearing masks, especially when in enclosed or crowded spaces.
By checking everyone’s COVID status prior to entrance to the venue, the chance of someone with COVID entering the building and therefore the possibility of transmission is significantly reduced. We strongly encourage attendees to continue wearing masks to further reduce infection risk and ensure a safe show for everybody, although wearing a mask is down to your personal choice and what you feel comfortable with.
Please remember that if you travel to the venue using public transport you will be required to wear a face covering.
We also reserve the right to require masks in certain areas of the show if needed or required by guests, such as the autographing area. Any such requirements will be announced closer to the event.
Enhanced Cleaning
We will have enhanced cleaning throughout the show and plenty of hand sanitising stations available. It is the responsibility of everyone to maintain personal hygiene, including washing your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water.
Get your tickets here for the London show, and here for Birmingham — we hope to see you there!
