Here are some general rules to keep in mind, according to Greater Austin Comic Con:
- You must always wear your badge or wristbands while at Greater Austin Comic Con.
- Be nice and have fun! All your fellow GACC con goers are there to have a good time, so be friendly, make new friends, and have a good time at Greater Austin Comic Con!
