Badges can be purchased from WonderCon 2022’s official site. However, any user purchasing a badge would need to have a “valid Comic-Con Member ID.” Furthermore, if the badges are purchased before March 6, the buyer will receive the badges in advance via a shipment.

However, it must be noted that due to active COVID precautionary guidelines in the convention, badges for an event do not guarantee entry. If the event’s limit for attendees is reached, visitors may be denied access.
