How to enter
Step 1: Get your entry tickets
When do I buy?
The earlier you buy, the cheaper the tickets. We reward early buyers with discounts, so keep an eye out for price increase messages!
Why would I buy?
FACTS (1993°) is Belgium’s most experienced comic con, setting itself apart in story-telling, decors, and atmosphere. It’s not just a massive 54.000m² pop culture convention, it’s another dimension.

Step 2: Find your way
Meeting the actors
PHOTOSHOOTS
Get your quick photo taken with max one other fan and your hero by a professional photographer. You get a printed copy of your picture immediately after the session AND a free digital code to download it afterwards. Cool right?
MEET & GREETS
You, your hero, and max 25 lucky fans in a closed-off, intimate room for 20 minutes, getting to ask questions on a more personal level. A truly privileged moment for any super fan. Note: pre-sales only.
AUTOGRAPHS
Score the coveted autograph of your favourite actor. You can choose a free image or bring your own item to sign. Gifts are allowed. You can often ask for multiple autographs. Ideal session for a small chat, too. No presales, cash only!
SELFIES
Some actors give you the option to whip out your smartphone, get real close, strike a pose, and get that Colgate smile shot. Head to the signing session tables and ask for a selfie there. No presales, cash only!
Q&A SHOWS
Take the mic and ask your burning question to the actors on stage, or learn some new things about your hero. These sessions are included in all event entry tickets, so just walk in, sit down and enjoy!
A photoshoot ticket is NOT an entry ticket. You also need a ticket to enter FACTS.
You can share a photoshoot ticket with a friend by being on the same photo.
Want to have a small chat with the actor? The autograph sessions are your best bet.
Avoid discussing embarrassing topics and respect the actors’ personal space.
