Steel City Con - Returns Tomorrow!

Pittsburgh's Steel City Con returns this weekend, April 15th - 17th, and Star Wars fans have a lot to cheer about! If you didn't pre-order, you can still buy tickets at the door easily. Read on for all the details you need to plan your trip to the Monroeville Convention Center!


Guests from Star Trek and Star Wars are making rare appearances, including Tim Russ, David Prowse, and Anthony Daniels! The show is bigger and better than ever, and continues to grow. You won't want to miss out as the SCC continues to be Pennsylvania's largest, and one of the largest on the East Coast!

With the show's expanded size, you'll want to pre-order either a 1-Day Badge, or a 3-Day Badge as well, to avoid the wait in line and get early admission! Pre-orders receive priority seating at events, such as the Celebrity Q&A's, Costume Contests, and more! And the 3-Day Badge is all about value that you just cannot beat.

The show's increased size means increased events as well. It's expanded to now include Contests, an expanded Celebrity Hall, Artist Alley, Expanded Collectibles Sales Floor, Photo Ops and more! Every show seems to get bigger and better, so this will be another huge Steel City Con.

Pittsburgh's Steel City Con returns April 15th to the 17th to the Monroeville Convention Center, which is conveniently located just minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh and just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76). Official hotel space next to the convention center is limited, so act fast! However, other local hotels are available close by, just in case.

Expanded Show Floor & Events

The show now sports over 100,000 sq.ft. of show space, bringing you everything you expect from not just a toy show, but a true con experience! This is a Mega Con, and growing every year! From collectibles and toys, to comics, to cos-play, this show now has it all.

New events during the show include a Charity Auction, Artist Alley, Celebrity Q&A Panels, Collecting Panels, Costume Contests, Photo Ops, and more!

Extended Show Hours & Now 1-Day Or 3-Day Badge Pre-Orders

The fun goes on into the evening now at Steel City Con with extended show hours! And if you Pre-Order Your 3-Day Badge you can get into the show early all 3 days, and trust me you'll want to avoid the admission lines if you can! 1-Day Badges are also now being offered, if you can only make it to the show part of the weekend.

The show's hotel block expires soon as well, so don't delay and book your room soon at the Doubletree by Hilton right away!
