Comiket has proved to be a roaring success for so many Comiket exhibitors, who have told us that they get some of their biggest sales at our popular fairs. That’s because Comiket is not solely for enthusiasts and collectors but also attracts a general audience. We believe it makes a big difference keeping admission free so that a broader general audience can walk in and discover the true diversity and quality of comics today for themselves.
This November, all exhibitors will be located together in the Great Hall. We have redesigned the table layout to allow for more comfortable space in the aisles for you and the buying visitors. We are also extending the opening hours from 11am to 7pm to give you an extra hour of trading. As an extra promotion, all exhibitors will be highlighted with a cover or image, details and weblink on the Comiket section of the Comica website.
There are a limited number of tables available.
24 Wall Tables.
28 Central Tables.
Table Size: 120cm long by 68cm wide.
Once they are gone, they are gone!
Comiket is a premium event and major attraction of the annual Comica Festival, a not-for-profit social enterprise promoting public appreciation of and involvement with the comics medium in all its forms.
Please select from the choices on the buttons below if you wish to display a banner. Banners can only to be displayed behind wall tables. This avoids the Drawing Parade view being blocked.

Someone has asked what it means to book a wall table with a banner. To be clear, it means that if you wish to display your own free-standing banner, you may do so behind a wall table only. There are only a small number of these sites available, so we have requested you indicate this preference, so we can accommodate everyone. There is no permission from the Bishopsgate Institute to put up any pinned or Blu-Takked posters or signage on the walls behind the tables.
UPDATE AT 17:00 HRS GMT 5 November 2012.
Wall Tables: All wall tables have been sold!
Central Tables: Two and one half tables remain.
