ComplexCon 2026 Convention Pass at the LA Convention Center

ComplexCon is setting up on the convention floor downtown. This listing covers the convention-only two-day pass for the 2026 edition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, starting Saturday, October 3. If your weekend plans usually involve a sneaker raffle or a restock alert, it's one of the bigger things happening in Los Angeles that weekend.

What you're actually buying

Complex, the media brand behind a lot of sneaker and hip-hop coverage, launched ComplexCon in 2016 at the Long Beach Convention Center. It later spent a stretch in Las Vegas, and the brand has taken the format abroad too (there was a Hong Kong edition at AsiaWorld-Expo in March 2026). So an LA date at the big glass building on Figueroa is a homecoming of sorts for Southern California fans.

The "convention only" part matters. This pass gets you onto the show floor: brand booths, limited releases that often sell only on site, artist and designer collaborations, food, and panels. The concert side of the weekend is billed separately. Those shows are at Crypto.com Arena a few blocks north, and we've covered the Saturday and Sunday arena sessions on their own pages. Read your ticket carefully so you don't show up at the wrong building.

Dates and times to double-check

The pass is sold as a two-day ticket, but the listing we're working from only pins down Saturday, October 3. It also shows a 9:59 AM to 11:59 AM window, which looks like a placeholder rather than real doors for a full convention day. Check the official ticketing page for actual hours and which second day the pass covers before you plan around it.

We couldn't find a ticket price on the listing, and we'd rather say that than guess. Past editions sold single-day and weekend passes, and the hyped ones went fast.

Getting there

The convention center sits at 1201 S Figueroa St, at the corner of Pico, right next to L.A. Live. Metro is the low-stress option: the A and E lines stop at Pico station, a short walk from the entrance. If you drive, the center runs its own garages, but a big event weekend fills them early. The Artisan & Street Food Festival is booked into the same building that weekend too, so expect extra foot traffic around the halls.

A few practical notes:

• Wear shoes you can stand in for hours. Drop lines are the main event for a lot of people.
• Bring a portable charger. Many booths run app-based raffles and queues.
• Carry a small bag. Big conventions usually check bags at the door.
