BREAKING NEWS: SALVATORE CON MEETS GERMAN FILM COMIC CON DORTMUND!
Dear German Film Comic Con and Vampire Diaries fans,
due to the incredible demand surrounding the already announced guests from The Vampire Diaries universe – and with even more guest announcements from this fandom coming very soon – we’ve decided to take the Salvatore part out of the German Film Comic Con and give it something it absolutely deserves: its very own convention in its very own hall!
This will give you more space to enjoy the event while also allowing us to ensure a smooth experience, great organization and the safety of all visitors, guests and staff.
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 whole convention dedicated to the Vampire Diaries universe!
The Salvatore Con will take place in Hall 5 and will have its own dedicated entrance: Entrance 2.
At the Salvatore Con, you’ll find all the programming, activities and experiences connected to The Vampire Diaries universe.
The Salvatore Con is a standalone convention and will be organized separately from the German Film Comic Con. At the same time, it will of course still be part of your overall convention weekend in Dortmund.
To enter the Salvatore Con in Hall 5, you will need a valid Salvatore Con ticket.
Important information for your visit

Your Salvatore Con ticket gives you access to the Salvatore Con via Entrance 2 AND access to the German Film Comic Con.

Please pay attention to the different entrances
To keep entry as quick and smooth as possible, it’s really important that you use the correct entrance for your ticket.
🧛 SALVATORE CON
Salvatore Con Ticket / Upgrade Wristband
➡️ Entrance 2
🎬 GERMAN FILM COMIC CON
German Film Comic Con Ticket
➡️ Entrance North
Please make sure you use the entrance assigned to your ticket.
Entrance 2 is exclusively for visitors with a valid Salvatore Con ticket or corresponding upgrade wristband.
If you only have a German Film Comic Con ticket, please continue to use Entrance North.
Important: Keep your Salvatore Con wristband on!
Your Salvatore Con ticket is only valid in combination with your wristband.
Every visitor will receive a wristband directly at the entrance, which must be worn on the wrist for the entire period it is valid.
No wristband on your wrist = no access to the Salvatore Con.
Any attempt to remove, alter or tamper with the wristband will result in access to the Salvatore Con being denied.
We can’t wait to make the Salvatore Con an amazing experience for everyone who loves The Vampire Diaries universe.
Having our own dedicated hall also gives us even more opportunities to grow the Salvatore Con – and trust us, there’s more to come. 👀
More exciting guests and content will be revealed very soon.
We can’t wait to see you in Dortmund for an unforgettable Salvatore Con weekend! 🖤🧛♀️
