Prior to Comiket 96 in June 2019, Comiket general attendance was free.
In that announcement, the committee stated that the event will likely restrict participation to several tens of thousands of people per day.
The event was originally planned for winter 2020, but was delayed to the Golden Week holidays in 2021 situation, and scheduling issues considering Tokyo Big Sight’s East Exhibition hall would remain unavailable until fall 2021 due to the Olympics.
The Comiket 98 event that was planned to take place from May 2-5, 2020 was canceled to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
