Comic Con is this week and we are very excited to be covering the event, but have you been wondering what is happening on which day? Having trouble searching through the entire schedule to find the information you want to find? Well, you no longer need to worry. We did the hard part, scrolling endlessly through the schedule to bring you the top panels and events happening at the con by day. Today, we’ll be covering Preview Night, Thursday and Friday. Since not everyone gets into preview night (and it’s not really got much going on) it should be the quickest and easiest section to cover.

So let’s start with Wednesday, a.k.a. Preview Night. If you haven’t heard already, there is this amazing chance for you to draw tickets for the Star Trek Beyond world premiere on Wednesday during the day. Starting at 11am on Wednesday, fans can line up for the drawing at noon, which will give a limited number of fans the chance to win tickets to the red carpet event that evening. Tickets will be drawn for two hours and per usual Comic Con fashion, you may get back in line for another chance to draw a winning ticket. YOU DO NOT NEED A PREVIEW NIGHT TICKET FOR THIS EVENT! That’s the best part! All you need is a valid Comic Con pass for any day of the con for your chance to draw. This is by far the most exciting event that we’ve seen at Comic Con as of yet.

For the actual preview night events though, for those of us who don’t draw a winning ticket that is, there will be a special sneak peek of the Pilot Screenings for the following television shows: Riverdale, Powerless, People of Earth, Frequency and Time After Time. There will also be a viewing of the new episode from Teen Titans Go! This panel will be taking place in Ballroom 20. Other than that, it’s a night to just explore the floor and maybe check out a few of the booths before the crowds descend on the convention center.
