The Ghostbusters will be guests at the last Comic Con in 2019.
The number of infected people is increasing, and calls for events to be canceled are increasing. But the current status is: The autumn fair is taking place – and so is the Comic Con next weekend.

Stuttgart – You could now so well need a brave girl that it takes on the gray men. The modern variant of the gray is therefore different, it does not steal our time, but rather our life through its unwillingness to be vaccinated. Can Momo help? She’ll be in the country next weekend. Radost Bokel is a guest at the comic con at the state fair; she played Momo in the 1986 film adaptation of the children’s book.
Messe is prepared
But before that, the Fair autumn. Then Baden-Württemberg is on the Corona alert, which means: only vaccinated and convalescent have access. Otherwise, the hygiene concept continues, which relies on distance and online tickets anyway. “We are well prepared,” the fair said, “a visit is safe.” Games, yoga, vegan, food and drink, minerals, fossils, jewelry, pets, handicrafts, street music and many other things are topics of the autumn fair.
On the following weekend the Comic Con occur. “As of now, we are assuming that it will take place,” says Melanie Eisele from the organizer. In a slightly stripped-down form, without an evening party. Also, costume wearers are not so popular. Which is no wonder when you think that you have to wear a mask under your costume. There is a large Lego exhibition in which the worlds and universes of “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings” are recreated. There are film cars to see, such as KITT by David Hasselhoff, the Batmobile and the Herbie Beetle. Drag queens are new.
16,000 tickets sold so far
Visits by star guests are part of the regular program. Very few of them come from overseas this year. Which is not only due to Corona, but also because Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the Comic-Con weekend and are therefore reluctant to leave the country. An exception is Michael Rooker, known from “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Also guests are Ben Barnes, Amita Sumann, Freddie Carter from “Shadow and Bone”, Bonnie Wright, Ginny Weasley from “Harry Potter”, and their film dad Mark Williams. Radost Bokel, Patrick Bach, actors in “Silas”, Martin Semmelrogge and Jonathan Sagall, actors in “Eis am Stiel” come from Germany.
16,000 tickets have been sold so far. Eisele said it cost one million euros. Part of the sum can be insured against failure. She doesn’t dare to predict whether a cancellation would be economically viable. “We have now reduced all the costs that we could reduce in order to survive.” There is no longer much room for maneuver. A momo would be needed to drive the gray gentlemen away.
Fair autumn
Around 1000 exhibitors will be present at the Stuttgart Autumn Fair. The consumer fair Familie & Heim, the Kreativ, the game fair and the gourmet fair Eat & style start on Thursday, November 18th. The next day the pet fair Animal, Veggie & frei von, minerals, fossils, jewelry, Yoga World and the design festival open their doors. In addition, the international street music festival (November 19-21) celebrates its premiere in the atrium at the east entrance and in the Rothauspark as well as in halls 5 and 6 (Oskar-Lapp-Halle).
