Booth costs at comic cons vary a lot, but a typical 10x10 exhibitor booth often lands in the $800 to $3,000+ range, while some major events can run much higher depending on size and location.

What drives the price

  • Artist Alley/table space: often cheaper, roughly $225 to $400 at some regional cons.
  • Standard exhibitor booth: commonly around $800 to $850 for a basic 10x10 at some shows.
  • Corner or premium upgrades: usually add $300 to $400 or more.
  • Big conventions: booth space can reach roughly $3,000 to $15,000 at larger industry events.

Real examples

Event type| Example price
---|---
Artist Alley table| $225–$400 469
Standard 10x10 booth| $800–$850 79
Corner upgrade| $300–$400 679
Large convention booth space| $3,000–$15,000 3

Extra costs

Booth price usually is not the full cost. Common add-ons include badges, electricity, marketing fees, taxes, and processing charges. That means a booth listed at $800 can end up noticeably higher once the extras are added.

Practical takeaway

If you are looking at a local or mid-sized comic con, budget around $300–$1,000 for smaller table/artist spaces and $800–$1,500+ for a basic exhibitor booth. For a major, high-traffic convention, expect several thousand dollars or more.
