How does the purchase of a Legend membership affect my current Museum membership status?
If you are within three months of your current membership expiration date on the date of purchase, your membership will renew for another year at the Legend level. For example, if your current membership expires on November 30, 2023, and you purchase a Legend membership in October, you will have access to your new membership benefits beginning on your date of purchase and your new membership will expire on November 30, 2024.
If you are outside the three-month renewal period, your new Legend membership will replace your current membership at a pro-rated price. You will have access to all Legend member benefits beginning on the date of purchase and your new Legend membership will expire the next year on the last day of the month in which you purchased the Legend membership. For example, if you purchased your current membership in January at the $75 Fan level and wish to upgrade to Legend during the member pre-sale, your Legend membership would be $1,881.25 and would expire October 31, 2024.
I have a family membership, can I purchase Legend memberships for all four members?
You can purchase Legend memberships for the primary and secondary members listed on your family membership. Each Legend membership comes with two free General Admissions for children under the age of 17 per Legend member visit. (Legend member must be present for free children General Admission to apply.) You will have access to all Legend member benefits beginning on the date of purchase and your new Legend membership will expire the next year on the last day of the month in which you purchased the Legend membership. Please note that children ages 12 and under, regardless of the adult’s badge type, may attend the Comic-Con convention for free. Children can receive a free badge on-site in the Registration Area or at one of SDCC’s Badge Solutions Desks. SDCC does not pre-register children. For more information, please review SDCC’s Child Badge Policy.
