Collect-A-Con

Collect-A-Con is a touring collectibles convention, and it lands at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday, December 19, 2026. If you are putting together a list of things to do in Los Angeles before the holidays, this is the one for anyone who keeps binders of trading cards, shelves of figures or a box of comics they have never quite sorted.

When: Saturday, December 19, 2026 Where: Los Angeles Convention Center, downtown LA Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster

What to expect

Conventions in this format usually fill a big hall with dealer tables, collectors trading and selling, and a steady flow of people hunting for a specific card or toy. Collect-A-Con's own branding centers on trading cards and pop-culture collectibles, so expect that to be the core of the floor. The organizers announce vendors and special guests closer to the date, so check the event page for the current lineup rather than trusting an old flyer.

The 8:00 AM time on this listing is a placeholder, because the ticket page did not publish a start time we could verify. Confirm the real doors time on Ticketmaster before you plan your morning.

Planning your visit

Buy tickets only through the official Ticketmaster listing linked in this post. The price was not available when we wrote this, so check the ticket page for current tiers and any early-entry options.

Bring a way to carry what you buy, a small bag or a card-safe folder, and plan for cash or card at individual vendor tables. Big halls mean a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes help. If you like to compare prices before you commit, do a full lap first and buy second.

Getting there

The Convention Center sits at the south end of downtown, close to the Metro A and E lines at Pico station, and not far from the freeway ramps. Event-day parking around the venue fills up and costs more than usual, so transit or a rideshare drop-off is the calmer choice.
