San Diego Comic-Con badges notoriously sell out fast. But, the festivities surrounding the Con have grown so big that there’s plenty for fans to do in San Diego this weekend, even those who didn’t score a pass into the convention center.
Here’s a look at a few of the best:
Nerd HQ
Once again Nerd HQ will be hosting panels at the New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego. This year’s guests include the casts of The Last Ship, Sherlock, The Visit, Falling Skies, Dr. Who, Mr. Robot and more. A limited number of tickets to some of the panels are still available. All tickets are $22 with all proceeds going to charity.
