VIECC Vienna Comic Con is a two-day convention in Vienna for anime, manga, comics, cosplay, gaming and film. 2026 is its 10th edition, in the 11th year since the first VIECC in 2015. It runs with VCA Vienna Challengers Arena on the same ticket, organised by Austrian Exhibition Experts GmbH in cooperation with ReedPop, organiser of New York Comic Con.
Doors run 10:00 to 20:00 Saturday 21 November and 10:00 to 18:00 Sunday 22 November, with early admission from 9:00 both days for Premium, VIP, Super VIP and Ultra VIP ticket holders. Full program and hall details are on the organiser's site.
Guest actors confirmed as of 23 September 2026: Vincent D'Onofrio, Katie Leung, Michael Cudlitz, Marina Sirtis, Osric Chau, Nicole de Boer, Ante Dekovic and Valerie Weiss, plus cosplay guest Stylouz.
The program spans Anime and Manga, Comics, Fantasy and Sci-Fi, Gaming and E-Sports via VCA Vienna Challengers Arena, Film and TV, Art and Culture, Board Games and TCG, plus panels, Artist Alley and the Cosplay Village with its repair stations. Tickets are scanned once at entry; a hand stamp lets you leave and re-enter.
A Weekend Adult ticket costs €73; single-day Adult tickets are €48 Saturday and €45 Sunday. Prices as of 23 September 2026, source: VIECC ticket page.
Kids (6 to 13) pay €29 weekend or €15 a day; teens (14 to 17) pay €50 weekend or €28 to €29 a day; under 6 enter free with an adult. Premium is €100 with early admission from 9:00; Super VIP is €440, Ultra VIP €620.
The VIP ticket (€220) and the Style Ticket (€53, costume required, red-carpet access) are both sold out as of 23 September 2026. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Book the Superior Apartment at 39 square meters as your group's costume base: it sleeps up to 2, and its separate living room area gives your friends from the other studios room to lay out, fit and store costumes together. The equipped kitchenette means you can eat and touch up makeup on your own schedule before the 10:00 door time.
Any prop weapon has to pass inspection at the entrance weapons check, so review the behavioral guidelines before you pack: no functioning firearms or realistic replicas, no sharpened metal blades, and no rigid metal, fibreglass or glass pieces. Unsafe props can be checked in free of charge and are returned when you leave.
Driving in with costumes and props for a group? Habyt Vienna offers paid parking, so the car can stay at the hotel while you walk or take the tram each day. At the venue, VIECC visitors get a flat €22 rate, incl. VAT, for Garage A at Nordportalstraße 4, bought at the Foyer A cash desks rather than the garage's own pay machine.
Premium, VIP, Super VIP and Ultra VIP holders get early admission from 9:00 both days, an hour before the general 10:00 opening, time to start with the Cosplay Village or Artist Alley.
Autograph and photo tokens are sold separately from admission, from €20 for Ante Dekovic or Valerie Weiss to €70 for a photo with Vincent D'Onofrio, prices as of 23 September 2026 at the token store. Decide who to meet and budget the cost before the show.
Habyt Vienna is 25 minutes on foot from VIECON, about 1.85 km, confirmed by an OpenStreetMap routing query. By public transport, Tram O stops on Bruno-Marek-Allee and runs to Praterstern, where U2 continues to Messe-Prater for Foyer A, the main VIECC entrance, or one stop further to Krieau for Foyer D. Check Wiener Linien for the current timetable before you travel.
Garage A is at Nordportalstraße 4, 1020 Vienna. The venue has about 4,500 parking spaces across two garages and an overflow area. The standard rate is €3.50 an hour or €24.90 for 24 hours, but VIECC visitors get a flat €22 rate for Garage A when they pay at the Foyer A cash desks instead of the garage machine. Habyt Vienna also offers paid parking.
