Yes, we’re open every weekend! Friday 3pm – 10pm, Saturday 10am – 6pm, Sunday 10am – 5pm. Each weekend is a different event with new activities, vendors, and things to explore. Check out our events page for the latest schedule.
Unless otherwise noted for specific tournaments, entry and parking are always free! You’re welcome to RSVP for free for each event you want to attend on our events page.
Yes! CCS venues are indoor, handicap accessible, and climate controlled, but please be aware that big crowds can make it warmer inside, so take care and stay safe! Should you need additional assistance during your visit, please let a CCS staff member know how they can best assist you. We handle all of these requests on a case-by-case basis.
Yes! We aim to keep our events kid-friendly and a great option for family outings! Though some events may lean a little more mature than others, such as our Horror events, all programming and vendors are vetted to ensure they are safe for all ages.
Yes, we have a concession area on site that sells drinks, candies, and snacks, and even a limited selection of hot items to eat! Outside of snacks, we recommend bringing something to eat, but if you’re also playing in a tournament or at TCG locals and will be there for a few hours, getting food delivered to our location is easy! Use the store address and give the instructions to leave the meal at the front desk.
Only service animals are allowed at the show. Service animals are expected to behave respectfully toward guests and other service animals. Pets are not permitted at the show.
Yes! Cosplay is always welcome, and safe, non-functional props are totally acceptable however real weapons are never permitted. Carts, wagons, and rolling cases are welcome too.
Yes. For your safety and to ensure the safety of our vendors, CCS uses staff, security personnel, and in some cases off-duty officers during some of our events.
Yes, we do. If you lost an item, there are two ways to check if it’s been found! If you’re still at the event, head to the front desk and ask the CCS staff if your item has been dropped off. After the event, email [email protected] with a description and event date.
Yes! Our vendors are with us every Friday through Sunday (Friday 3 PM to 10 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM), actively buying, selling, and trading everything from trading card games, Pokémon, Funkos, toys, comics, and all kinds of collectibles. Bring your collection during our open hours, and our vendors are happy to take a look and make you an offer. Hours can shift for specific events, so double-check the active event page before you head out.
Yes, our family and guest vendors buy, sell, and trade all weekend long. Bring your collection or stash to make some deals and walk away with something new!
Nope, CCS is a space that houses vendors, so we don’t buy items ourselves! Our family and guest vendors at our weekly events are a great resource for finding out a collectible’s value, and they may even buy it or trade you for it! To see what’s available, come check out our vendors in person.
Only with our vendors, who would love to buy, sell, and trade with you, so you have plenty of options! Buying or selling with anyone who isn’t a CCS vendor is not permitted and will result in removal from the venue.
Yes! Please visit our vendor page to check out our vendor website for their business info and social media handles. If you would like to know a vendor’s phone number or email, just ask them at the show. Before each show, our event maps that are posted on our socials are a great reference to remembering a vendor’s business name that you may want to follow up with!
Please visit our events page for dates, details, and tournament info.
It depends on the guest! Photo policies vary by guest, so check the specific guest’s policy posted on our website’s guest page to find out what’s allowed. When in doubt, please ask first!
It depends on the game and event! Proxy rules can differ, so be sure to check the specific tournament rules for the event you’re entering to know exactly what’s allowed. Still not sure? Email our tournament coordinator at [email protected] for any tournament-related questions.
If it is more than one week out from the tournament, yes, your refund can be processed with no questions asked. After 1 week from the tournament date, we reserve the right to decline your refund request. Please reach out to the email attached to any individual tournament’s registration page for more details.
We fill our events with vendors who best fit the event theme! Fill out the guest vendor application for Raleigh and our team will review your application and take it from there. Table pricing varies by event and by the number of event days — for exact figures, view the Raleigh guest vendor application.
Yes, we do offer permanent (family vendor) booths! If you’re interested in learning more, fill out the family vendor application. We’ll review your application and reach out with more details, including pricing, availability, and next steps.
We’d strongly recommend keeping your inventory close to the event’s theme. We market each show to attendees who came specifically for that fandom, so off-theme items tend not to sell well. Please note, we prioritize vendors that most closely match the theme and who can offer a wide array of products within it, so be transparent about your offerings for the best shot at approvals! The one firm exception is trading card games: guest vendors only bring TCG products to our TCG Cons.
Only if you’ve been approved and registered as a food and beverage vendor. Vendors who applied for a standard collectibles table can’t sell food or drinks during the event.
Refunds depend on how far before the event you cancel: 14 or more days before the event is a full refund; 8–13 days before is a 50% refund; 7 days or fewer before the event is no refund, and the table fee is forfeited. If CCS cancels the event, every confirmed vendor gets a full refund. Refunds go back to your original payment method. They are not credits toward a future event. If you have any questions, please reach out to the CCS Vending team at [email protected] and they can assist you further.
