Here’s an early holiday treat for West Coast pop culture fans: Now that the clock has struck 12:00pm Pacific on Monday, December 15, Popverse ECCC 2026 Superfans are able to purchase tickets to celebrity photo ops and autographs at Emerald City Comic Con 2026, for a full 24 hours before sales open to the general public. We’ve got the full list of participating celebrities and all the details below.

We’ve shared plenty of times before why it’s worth becoming a Popverse ECCC Superfan, and the list of reasons go way beyond just early access to autograph and photo ops. Don’t believe us? Take a look for yourself:

• Guaranteed first access to tickets
• First access to artist alley
• Premium access to purchase photo ops, autographs, and exclusive merch
• Fast pass autos/photo ops
• Access to our ECCC Superfan lounge
• Access to Popverse's video archive from all ReedPop conventions, including NYCC, C2E2 and previous ECCCs

If all of this makes you want to become an ECCC Superfan, find out more here.

It has to be said, there’s an astonishing line-up of talent in the ECCC 2026 autograph and photo op presale, and it looks like this:

• Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Liam O’Brien, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, Marisha Ray - Critical Role (Sat-Sun)
• Ming-Na Wen and Clark Gregg - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Sat-Sun)
• Peter Weller and Nancy Allen - RoboCop (Sat-Sun)
• Kyle MacLachlan - Twin Peaks, Sex and the City, Blue Velvet, Fallout (Sat-Sun)
• William Shatner - Star Trek (Fri-Sat)
• Ben Starr and Jennifer English - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Fri-Sun)
• Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Pom Klementieff, Mikaela Hoover - Guardians of the Galaxy (Sat-Sun)
• Kaiji Tang and Emi Lo - The Apothecary Diaries (Thu-Sun)
• Nolan North, Richard McGonagle, Emily Rose - Uncharted (Fri-Sun)
• William Salyers, Sam Marin, Minty Lewis, Janie Haddad Tompkins - Regular Show (Thu-Sun)
• Sophie Nelisse and Courtney Eaton - Yellowjackets (Sat-Sun)
• Lizzie Freeman, Michael Kovach, Alex Rochon - The Amazing Digital Circus (Thu-Sun)

We have two things to add to that line up. Firstly: If Critical Role Photo Ops or Autographs sell out during the presale, do not panic! More will be available during the General onsale tomorrow at 12:00 pm Pacific. Secondly, if you don’t see your favorite celeb there, please remember: Not all celebrities and voice actors pre-sell their autographs. Don’t see Autographs available from a celebrity guest or voice actor (and it’s not listed as SOLD OUT)? That means they’ll be selling their autographs at their table at ECCC 2026, and you can head right up to their autographing table during one of their signing times to buy an autograph.
