FanX 24 Salt Lake City is right around the corner–September 26th-28th, 2024– and if you’re a fan of pop culture or 80’s/90’s nostalgia, this is the event of the year! FanX is a celebration of everything from comic books to television, movies, and gaming, and it promises to deliver an unforgettable experience with something for everyone, especially those who love the retro vibes of the 1980s and 1990s.
Things to Do at FanX
One of the biggest draws of FanX is its vast array of activities. Fans can explore panels featuring their favorite celebrities, attend Q&A sessions, and get autographs and photos with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Plus, there’s a massive exhibition hall filled with vendors offering exclusive collectibles, memorabilia, and fan gear. Don’t forget to check out the cosplay contest—a true highlight for creative fans who love to embody their favorite characters! This is what I love to see–how creative everyone can be!
This year FanX 2024 is hitting all the right notes. You can expect tributes to iconic shows and films from the last few decades. There will also be plenty of merchandise featuring your favorite cartoons and movies from the era, making it a nostalgic wonderland.
Celebrities at FanX 2024
What would FanX be without its star-studded guest list? This year’s celebrity guests include Lord of the Rings stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan. Fans can also look forward to seeing Mel Gibson in his first-ever fan convention appearance. Other notable names include Susan Sarandon, Wil Wheaton, and Geena Davis. With so many legendary actors and pop culture icons, it’s the perfect opportunity to snag autographs and attend unforgettable panels. Look out for appearances by actors from Harry Potter, Beetlejuice, The Terminator, Napoleon Dynamite, High School Musical, and so much more. You’ll want to keep checking the FanX website for regular updates as more celebrity guests are announced.
I have to admit, the celebrity spotting is my favorite part. If I could have met actors like Sean Astin, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Wil Wheaton when I was growing up, I would have freaked out, you guys. But, now that I am an adult, I’m going to have to play it much cooler (although, I’ll probably still be freaking out on the inside, if I’m honest).
To meet the celebrities at FanX, you can purchase photo ops or autograph tickets, which are typically available for individual celebrities. These experiences allow you to get up close with your favorite stars. VIP packages also offer priority access to photo ops, panels, and autograph sessions. Make sure to book these tickets in advance through the FanX website, as spots can sell out quickly due to high demand. For a detailed schedule and to purchase tickets, visit the FanX official site.
Getting Tickets
If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, now is the time! FanX offers several ticket options to fit your needs. Whether you’re just planning to attend for a day or want the full three-day experience, there’s a package for you. General Admission gets you access to the exhibition hall, panels, and select events, while VIP passes provide early entry, special seating, and other exclusive perks. You can buy tickets online through the FanX website, or pick them up at designated box offices.
FanX is more than just a convention—it’s a celebration of fandoms across generations. Whether you’re reliving the 80s or embracing today’s pop culture, this year’s event will be packed with excitement, nostalgia, and endless fun and we can’t wait to experience it all! Hope to see you there!
