And with a fabulous line-up of celebrity guests, famous stars from popular TV series and hosts of entertainment and cosplay competitions to join in with - this event is not one to miss.

Attendees are encouraged to come dressed up as their favourite cosplay stars, and browse some of the amazing trade stalls which sell everything from replica props, clothing and toys, to original artwork.

There will also be franchised photo opportunities set up for cosplayers to get some snaps at the set displays.

CEO of Monopoly Events, Andy Kleek, said: “The next Comic Con Scotland promises to be something very special indeed for fans.

All customers that have purchased a photo-op or autograph ticket in advance will get priority in the autograph and photograph queue.

Those who have a disability access pass or a diamond pass will also be able to jump the queue.

You can pay on the day for autographs at the guest tables but only after 12.00pm, anyone who has pre-purchased a ticket gets access to signings first and can join the autograph queue anytime from 9am. Prepaid tickets also get priority in the photoshoot queue.

Guests will be signing all day from 9.30am until 6pm provided that they are not in a live Q&A panel on stage, in a photoshoot, or taking a break.

Diamond pass holders are assigned a separate aisle on all autograph and photo shoot areas, which will be clearly marked.

Comic Con Scotland says you simply need to make your way into this aisle, and a member of staff will take you straight to the front of any queue for any guest. It also includes priority entry to the event at 9am.

Diamond passes can be bought via Ticket Quarter.

How to get after party tickets for Comic Con Scotland

The after party will take place in the Atik Club which will feature a cosplay catwalk among other acts.

Comic Con Scotland wrote on the website: “We’ve regularly had a few of our special guest stars attend our after-parties in the past so keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces in rather more casual surroundings than in the rest of the event!”

Tickets are priced at £10 per person (plus booking fee) and can be purchased on Skiddle or at the venue.

The party starts at 9pm when the event closes for the day and finishes at 2am.
