Hyderabad Comic Con 2026 is officially coming back, but the new venue has already become a major concern for fans.
The event is moving to Bharat Future City, which is considerably far from many parts of Hyderabad. It can be challenging for fans without private vehicles, reaching the venue could mean longer journeys, multiple public transport connections or expensive cab rides.
This could be especially difficult for students and groups of friends, who make up a large part of the Comic Con audience. Travel expenses on top of tickets, food and merchandise can quickly increase the total cost of attending.
Cosplayers also have more to consider, costumes, props and other equipment can be difficult to carry over a long distance, especially when public transport is involved. This can be a task for fans planning to attend all three days, the cost becomes an even bigger concern. They aren't just paying for the event they're potentially paying for a long round trip three days in a row.
Fans have already started expressing their frustration about the venue across platforms like Reddit, Instagram and other social media. It doesn't necessarily mean attendance will drop, but the concerns are clearly there.
Comic Con is about bringing fans together the event itself could be great, but getting there shouldn't feel like another event on its own.
