How much are Card Mania 2026 tickets?

Card Mania 2026 has four entry options: 1-Day Pass at RM 19.90 (pick Fri, Sat, or Sun), 3-Day Pass at RM 39.90 (covers all of May 22-24, 2026), Student walk-in at RM 15.90 (at the gate with valid student ID), and Concession (free, walk-in only at the gate with valid ID for kids 12 & below, pregnant women, OKU, or seniors 60+). Book online via the entry tickets section above or buy at the door.

What's the difference between the 1-Day Pass and 3-Day Pass?

The 1-Day Pass (RM 19.90) covers any one day at Card Mania 2026 — Friday May 22, Saturday May 23, or Sunday May 24. The 3-Day Pass (RM 39.90) covers all three days and saves you about RM 20 versus buying three single days.

What does my Card Mania 2026 entry pass include?

Your entry pass gets you into the Card Mania 2026 venue at MPAJ Convention Centre — the vendor floor, the live auction, the stamp rally, and the Aero Grading on-site CGC submission booth. Artist signing sessions are separate paid bookings.

Can I buy entry tickets at the door?

Yes, but we recommend booking online first in the entry tickets section above — faster entry, secured access if a tier sells out, and your QR codes are saved to your free TCGKL account. At the gate, Card Mania 2026 sells Student (RM 15.90, with valid student ID) and Concession (free, eligible groups only with ID). 1-Day and 3-Day Passes are bookable online in advance and may also be available at the door subject to availability.

I've never been to a TCG event before — what do I actually do once I'm there?

Card Mania 2026 has four things to do: browse the vendor floor for cards and merch, watch the live auction, complete the stamp rally, and visit artists for signing sessions or on-site CGC grading by Aero Grading. You can walk in with an entry pass and explore. Booking signing sessions in advance via the signing sessions section above just guarantees you a slot with a specific artist.

Do I need a separate ticket for artist signings?

Yes. The Card Mania 2026 entry pass gets you into the venue, but artist signing sessions are paid bookings on top. Each artist offers different session types at different prices. Book online via the signing sessions section above or buy at the artist's booth on event day, subject to availability.

Can I bring a friend who isn't a TCGKL member?

Yes. Have them sign up for a free TCGKL account at tcgkl.com/membership and book online with you — faster entry, saved QR codes, easier coordination. It takes about 30 seconds. Walk-in tickets at the gate are a fallback if they prefer.

Yes. Card Mania 2026 offers free Concession entry for kids 12 and below at the gate — bring valid ID. Older children need their own ticket — book online with a free TCGKL account via the entry tickets section above (faster entry), or buy at the door (Student RM 15.90 walk-in with student ID, or 1-Day RM 19.90).

Where do I find my QR code for entry?

Online bookings include a QR code in your confirmation email and on tcgkl.com/profile when logged in — open either on your phone at the gate. We recommend buying online and signing up for a free TCGKL account so your QR codes are saved and easy to access. Walk-in tickets are issued at the door.

How do I book a signing session?

In the signing sessions section above, select an artist to see their available sessions. Pick session type and time slot, add to cart, and check out. Card Mania 2026 holds your slot for 15 minutes while you complete payment.

What session types are available?

Each Card Mania 2026 artist offers different session types — typically autograph, sketch (B&W or colour), shikishi (B&W or colour), comic cover, or autograph + photo. Check each artist's card in the artist lineup above for that artist's specific lineup and prices.

Can I bring my own card, graded slab, Funko, or sketchbook for the artist to sign?

Depends on the artist. Each Card Mania 2026 artist sets their own item rules. Check the session description on the artist's card in the artist lineup above, or ask at the artist's booth on the day.

Can I book sessions with multiple artists?

Yes. Add sessions from different Card Mania 2026 artists to your cart and check out together. The cart flags overlapping time slots before payment so you can adjust.

Can I buy signing tickets at the event itself?

Yes, at the artist's booth on event day, subject to availability. Card Mania 2026 booths take card terminal and eWallet — cashless preferred. Online booking is the only way to lock in a specific time slot.

What if my preferred time slot is sold out online?

Check the artist's booth on event day — walk-in slots may be available. Card Mania 2026 has limited inventory per artist, so booking early online is the safest path to your preferred slot.

How long does a signing session take?

A signing session typically runs 15-30 minutes per time slot group at Card Mania 2026. Exact length depends on the artist and session type. Arrive 10 minutes before your slot.

What's the difference between a bundle and booking artists individually?

Card Mania 2026 bundles let you book a session with two artists in one go at a single price, with a single booking flow. Bundles save time during checkout and give you exclusive multi-artist combinations you can't piece together individually.

What are the Card Mania 2026 bundles?

Card Mania 2026 has three multi-artist signing bundles, each pairing two artists: Double Pull (NC Empire autograph + Daisuke Tatsuma B&W sketch), Sketch & Shadow (Yukihiro Tada autograph/signature + head sketch + Ezoi B&W sketch), and Rare Find (Haru Akasaka autograph + Agnes Garbowska colour sketch). See live availability and pricing in the signing sessions section above.

Do I pick which artists I get in a bundle, or is it random?

You pick. Each Card Mania 2026 bundle lists the participating artists upfront in the signing sessions section above — choose your bundle based on which artists you want to meet.

Will my bundle artists actually be available during my time slot?

Yes. Each Card Mania 2026 bundle slot is scheduled so all bundle artists are present during your time block. The booking system only shows time slots when all bundle artists are confirmed available.

Can I swap one artist out of a bundle for another?

No. Card Mania 2026 bundles are fixed combinations — that's how the pricing and exclusive content work. To mix artists differently, book individual sessions instead of a bundle.

If one bundle artist cancels, do I get a partial refund?

Card Mania 2026 bundle bookings are non-refundable. In the rare case of a confirmed artist cancellation, TCGKL contacts affected attendees directly with next steps — typically a full refund or a substitute session.

What's the Card Mania 2026 stamp rally reward?

The Card Mania 2026 stamp rally reward is announced on this event page closer to the event. Quantities are typically limited and rewards are first-come, first-served on event day.

How long does the stamp rally take?

Most attendees complete the Card Mania 2026 stamp rally in 30-60 minutes by visiting participating vendor booths. Pace it around your other activities — there's no time pressure as long as you finish before the rally closes each day.

Do I need to book signing sessions to join the stamp rally, or is it free with entry?

Free with entry. The Card Mania 2026 stamp rally is included for every TCGKL member who walks in — no extra booking, no extra fee. Just bring your phone.

Where do I scan stamps?

At participating vendor booths around Card Mania 2026. Open the stamp rally on tcgkl.com (or the event app), scan the booth's QR code, and the stamp records to your account.

Do I need to register to bid in the live auction?

Yes. Register before the Card Mania 2026 live auction starts if you want to bid. Registration details and timing are posted on this event page closer to the event.

Can I just watch the auction without bidding?

Yes. The live auction at Card Mania 2026 is open to all event attendees as spectators. Registration is only needed if you want to place bids.

What's the buyer's premium?

The buyer's premium and full bidding terms are listed on the auction registration page. Review the terms before registering at Card Mania 2026.

How do I pay if I win — and is it pickup or shipping?

Winning bidders settle payment with the auction team at the Card Mania 2026 venue. Pickup and shipping options are confirmed during the auction registration flow.

Can I get my own cards graded on-site at Card Mania 2026?

Yes. Aero Grading runs the on-site CGC submission booth at Card Mania 2026 — bring your cards and submit them in person. Aero Grading seals your cards and ships them to CGC for grading. Walk-in pricing and tier options are available at the booth on event day.

How much does grading cost at Card Mania 2026?

Pricing varies by CGC service tier (turnaround time, declared value, Signature Series). Check the Aero Grading booth at Card Mania 2026 for current walk-in rates, or pre-book the Signature Series add-on online for RM 210/card (50% online + 50% at the booth on event day).

What's CGC Signature Series and why does it matter?

CGC Signature Series authenticates an autograph as signed in front of a CGC-appointed witness, locking in both the grade and the signature provenance. Signature Series cards typically command higher resale value than regular CGC-graded autographs because the chain of custody is verified.

Do I need an artist for Signature Series?

Yes. Signature Series at Card Mania 2026 requires the artist to sign your card in front of a CGC-appointed witness. Book the artist signing session, bring the card to the Aero Grading booth on event day, the witness authenticates the signing, then Aero Grading seals and ships your card to CGC.

Can I pre-book CGC Signature Series grading at checkout?

Yes — pre-book the grading add-on alongside any signing or bundle for RM 210/card. You pay 50% (RM 105) online via Stripe; the remaining 50% (RM 105) is collected at the Aero Grading booth on event day. Pre-booking guarantees a witnessed grading slot. Walk-in is also available but subject to booth capacity on the day.

What happens to my grading add-on if I change my mind?

The grading add-on is non-refundable to your original payment method. Instead, the RM 105 you paid online is converted into Aero Grading store credit you can use for any future grading. If you also pay the remaining RM 105 at the booth on event day, Aero Grading issues full RM 210 credit. If you no-show, you receive partial credit equal to the RM 105 already paid. Credit is governed by Aero Grading's own redemption terms.

How many grading slots can I add per signing?

Up to 3 cards per signing surface. A solo signing covers 1 signed card, so you can add up to 3 grading slots. A bundle with 3 artists covers 3 signed cards, so you can add up to 9. The cap protects booth throughput on the day; if you need more, talk to Aero Grading at the booth.

What payment methods are accepted?

Online: FPX (Malaysian online banking) and credit or debit card via Stripe. On-site at Card Mania 2026 booths: card terminal and eWallet. Card Mania 2026 is a cashless-preferred event — bring a card or have your eWallet ready.

What is the presale 50/50 split?

Card Mania 2026 presale bookings split payment in half: 50% deposit when you book online, 50% balance due at the artist's booth on event day. Total price is the same — only the timing splits.

Are bookings refundable?

No. Card Mania 2026 bookings are final and non-refundable. Review your time slots and session types carefully before paying. If TCGKL cancels a session on its end, affected attendees are contacted directly.

What is the platform fee?

A small platform fee covers TCGKL's online booking system, slot reservations, and QR code generation. The exact amount appears in your order summary before checkout — no surprises.

My payment failed but my slot is gone — what now?

When payment fails the slot hold expires and the slot returns to availability. Try booking again. If you were charged but didn't get a confirmation, contact TCGKL on WhatsApp with your email and the last 4 digits of your card.

Where is Card Mania 2026?

Card Mania 2026 runs May 22-24, 2026 at MPAJ Convention Centre, Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur. The venue is in the northeast of KL, separate from the city centre malls.

How do I get to MPAJ Convention Centre from KL Sentral or Bukit Bintang?

Drive or Grab is the fastest route — Card Mania 2026's MPAJ Convention Centre is roughly 30-45 minutes from KL Sentral or Bukit Bintang depending on traffic. There is no direct LRT/MRT line to Taman Melawati. Grab is the easiest option for most visitors.

Is there parking at MPAJ Convention Centre?

Yes. MPAJ Convention Centre has on-site parking. Card Mania 2026 expects high traffic on May 22-24, 2026, so arrive early or use Grab to skip the parking queue.

Should I come for one day or all three?

Card Mania 2026 rewards multi-day visits. Bundles, signing sessions, the live auction, and the stamp rally each have different schedules across May 22-24, 2026. Check the daily schedule in the signing sessions section above — if your favourite artist or the auction runs on a specific day, plan around that.

What do I need to bring to Card Mania 2026?

Bring your entry ticket (printed or on your phone — the QR code from your booking confirmation works), QR codes for any booked signing sessions (in your booking email or on tcgkl.com/profile), and valid ID if you're using a Concession or Student walk-in pass. Card or eWallet for on-site payments.
