Weapon rules
- Both “realistic” imitation weapons and fake swords and katanas in steel are forbidden on the street, in the subway, inside and outside the zone of Expo Greater Amsterdam. All “realistic” imitation weapons and / or weapons in steel can be immediately seized; both in the subway, on the street, and out and in Expo Greater Amsterdam.
- Any counterfeit or katana sword that is purchased at the fair Comic Con Holland, should remain in its original packaging. Purchased swords and katanas must remain in their carton until home. An exhibitor wants to sell you an item without box? Do not take it. Indeed, the probability exists that it is immediately seized as soon as you leave Expo Greater Amsterdam, or later, on the street or in public transports.
- Anyone who has a “realistic” military costume or comes dressed up, ,needs a “presale” ticket for Comic Con Holland to justify the costume. Please do not wear the costume outside the convention.
- Masks concealing parts of the face or the whole face, are prohibited in the subway, on the street and out of Expo Greater Amsterdam. However, it is no problem, after checking at the entrance, to wear a mask at Comic Con Holland.
- In Comic Con itself it is allowed to wear masks and be fully in cosplay.
- Within Comic Con Holland you can use all the authorized props and costumes, but transport everything in sealed bags until the convention itself. This is to prevent any misunderstanding.
- Show respect for each other and show understanding for this question of the police because, after all anyone outside of the convention maybe doesn’t know what cosplay is or don’t even know what Comic Con is and it’s not the idea that we get people to worry.
- At Comic Con Holland always be kind and respectful!
