- In Comic Con itself it is allowed to wear masks and be fully in cosplay.
- Within Comic Con Brussels you can use all the authorized props and costumes, but transport everything in sealed bags until the convention itself. This is to prevent any misunderstanding.
- Show respect for each other and show understanding for this question of the police because, after all anyone outside of the convention maybe doesn’t know what cosplay is or don’t even know what Comic Con is and it’s not the idea that we get people to worry.
