How do I buy tickets to ComplexCon?
For ComplexCon 2026 you can buy tickets to just the Concerts or the Marketplace. If you want to attend both, you need to buy them here. Tickets to the Marketplace also get you access to the Family Style Food Festival and to Thriftcon 2026. Tickets to the Marketplace are valid for both Saturday and Sunday, so you will not miss any drops.
What drops will be happening at ComplexCon?
ComplexCon is famous for exclusive Style and Sneaker drops. This year will be no different. While we can not tell you everything, we have already announced that Fragment, Wu Wear, and Represent will be having exclusive drops this year. The Marketplace is full of some of the top brands in Style and Sneakers with BAPE, Mitchell & Ness, Nike, Vans, and hundreds of other booths full of merchandise. The one booth you will need to check out is that of @DesignsByLeaf, the 13-year-old designer who asked for his shot and we are giving it to him.
Where is ComplexCon this year?
ComplexCon 2026 is in Los Angeles this year. The Concerts are at the Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015), while the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) is home to the Convention. The Family Style Food Festival and Thriftcon will both be in the Convention Center.
