Dear German Film Comic Con and Vampire Diaries fan,

Due to the incredibly high demand surrounding our already announced guests from The Vampire Diaries universe – and with even more guest announcements from this fandom coming very soon – we’ve decided to separate the Salvatore section from German Film Comic Con and give it its very own convention in a dedicated hall.

This will give you more space on site while also helping us ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible, with great organization and the safety of all visitors, guests and staff in mind.

WHEN?
December 5 & 6, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day

WHERE?
Messe Dortmund, Hall 5
Rheinlanddamm 200
44139 Dortmund

ENTRANCE?
Entrance 2

A dedicated convention for The Vampire Diaries universe!

Salvatore Con will take place in Hall 5 and will have its own dedicated entrance: Entrance 2.

At Salvatore Con, you’ll find all the programming, activities and experiences connected to The Vampire Diaries universe.

Salvatore Con is a standalone convention and is organized separately from German Film Comic Con. At the same time, of course, it remains part of your overall convention weekend.

To access Salvatore Con in Hall 5, you’ll need a Salvatore Con ticket.

Important info for your visit

Salvatore Con Ticket:
With a Salvatore Con ticket, you’ll have access to Salvatore Con via Entrance 2, as well as access to German Film Comic Con.

German Film Comic Con Ticket:

With a regular German Film Comic Con ticket, you’ll have access to German Film Comic Con via Entrance North.

A regular German Film Comic Con ticket on its own does not include access to Salvatore Con.

Access to Salvatore Con is only possible with a Salvatore Con ticket or the corresponding upgrade wristband via Entrance 2.

These guests will be joining you at Salvatore Con

The already announced guests from The Vampire Diaries universe will now appear at Salvatore Con:

Danielle Rose Russell

Danielle Campbell

Steven R. McQueen

And that’s not all! We’ll be announcing even more guests from The Vampire Diaries universe very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Already bought an Extra for one of these three guests?

No worries – all Extras you’ve already purchased will, of course, remain fully valid.

This applies to all previously purchased Photo, Autograph and Selfie Extras, as well as Meet & Greet tickets for:

Danielle Rose Russell

Danielle Campbell

Steven R. McQueen

Since these guests will now be appearing at Salvatore Con, if you’ve already purchased an Extra for one of these three guests, you’ll receive a FREE upgrade ticket to Salvatore Con from us.

How to get your free upgrade

Simply send us an email at:

service@weloveconventions.com

We’ll update your existing ticket accordingly and provide you with the upgrade ticket you need.

With this upgrade, you’ll be able to visit both conventions – German Film Comic Con and Salvatore Con.

Already have a German Film Comic Con ticket but haven’t purchased an Extra for one of the three guests?

You can still join us at Salvatore Con!

If you already have a German Film Comic Con ticket, you’ll have the option to upgrade to a Salvatore Con ticket for an additional charge.

Just get in touch with us at:

service@weloveconventions.com

Our team will be happy to explain your options and how everything works.

What happens to Starguest tickets you’ve already purchased?

All tickets and Extras you’ve already purchased will remain valid.

Even if your existing ticket currently still says “German Film Comic Con”, there’s no need to worry. Your ticket will remain scannable and fully valid.

You therefore do not need to purchase a new ticket if you already have a corresponding Starguest Extra.

If you’ve already booked an Extra for Danielle Rose Russell, Danielle Campbell or Steven R. McQueen, all you need is your free Salvatore Con upgrade.

You can request your upgrade via service@weloveconventions.com.

Please make sure you use the correct entrance

To keep entry on site as quick and easy as possible, it’s really important to use the entrance assigned to your ticket.
