When is Comic Market 109?

Comic Market 109 (C109 / Winter Comiket) runs Tuesday–Thursday, December 29–31, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo. That's a three-day event — a return to 3 days after several recent editions (C104 through C108) each ran just 2 days. The extra day reflects rising circle-application numbers even with reduced hall space.

East Halls 4–6 remain closed for renovation (the same restriction that applied at C108 in August 2026); the organizers state final hall assignments depend on circle-application volume and were still undetermined at research time (as of July 2026) — check the official schedule page nearer the date.

Ticketing (wristband system)

Like every recent Comiket, C109 uses a paid wristband-style admission pass (リストバンド型参加証) — there is no free walk-in entry. Based on the pattern from C108 and recent editions, expect:

  • AM wristband — entry from around 10:30, sold in advance through anime/manga shops and eplus
  • PM wristband — entry from around 12:30, sold in advance and (in limited numbers) on the day
  • A same-day allotment sold at the venue in limited numbers

Exact C109 wristband prices and on-sale dates had not been published at research time (as of July 2026) — the official site (comiket.co.jp) is the only authoritative source; recheck close to the event.

For first-time foreign visitors

  • Comiket runs almost entirely in Japanese — download the official English beginner's guide and map before you go.
  • Use public transit only; private cars and overnight queue-camping are banned.
  • Circles change completely each day, so plan which day matches the genre/fandom you want.
  • Cosplay is welcome but changing must happen in the venue's cosplay area — arriving or leaving in costume from home or your hotel is prohibited.
  • December in Tokyo is cold, not hot like the August edition — dress for an outdoor queue.

자주 묻는 질문

When and where is Comic Market 109 (C109)?
December 29–31, 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo. C109 is Winter Comiket and returns to a three-day format for the first time since 2019 (it ran as a two-day event from 2021). Note that East Halls 4–6 are unavailable due to renovation.
Do I need a ticket, and how does an overseas visitor actually buy one?
Yes — Comiket requires a paid wristband entry pass, and overseas fans buy an e-ticket online via eplus (ib.eplus.jp) with a credit card, then exchange it for a physical wristband on-site. As of July 2026, C109 prices aren't announced; at the previous event (C108) the AM Entry wristband was about ¥1,331 via eplus and PM Entry was cheaper, so budget roughly ¥400–¥1,400 per day.
How do I get to Tokyo Big Sight and what's the nearest station?
Take the Rinkai Line to Kokusai-Tenjijo Station or the Yurikamome line to Tokyo Big Sight Station, both a short walk away. The venue is in the Ariake/Odaiba bayfront area of Koto City; wristband exchange for eplus e-tickets opens from 8:00 near the Rinkai Line station, so arrive early.
Is there English support, and what should a first-timer know?
Yes — Comiket publishes an official English guide for international participants with maps and ticket steps, though on-site signage and circles are mostly Japanese. Genres and circles change completely each of the three days, so check the WebCatalog to pick your day; bring cash, and expect long queues and no cloakroom.
