also at star wars celebration for the exclusives lotteries you didn't even have to provide proof you were going to enter. they had people not going winning and in some cases selling on ebay tickets for Funko and Lego exclusives
100,00 people entering lotteries for ~1,700 seats then 50% of the winners no showing up that day
I may be in a minority but I see the value and benefits in the lottery so I've taken a wait and see before I judge view.
As someone who has waited in lines for hours and hours to NOT get what I was waiting for, I can express there is no worse feeling. It totally ruins the day, wasted my time and makes me a grumpy foul fellow. I'd rather be disappointed early via lottery results so then at the very least I can find alternative plans and options. In my experience 99% of the time these alternative plans end up being very enjoyable and I feel much better and OK with not getting my initial hope.
I hear what you are saying, but considering the bold. Now you have people entering who otherwise would not. They win, now all those fans who would have waited in line for Plan A move on to Plan B and if their plan B is your Plan A it just made that a whole lot harder. Especially if those people decide not to show up to the original panelYeah I referenced this issue later in my post. It creates potential unnecessary competition.
yea if you have press you can enter. last year i even won a black sails signing, which was perfect cause i was doing black sails press
Well its happening Lotteries for panels. At least they are only fill half the main stage with lotteries. I am not a fan of this approach
New this year, we're giving fans the opportunity to enter a pre-show lottery for a few of the most popular things to do at NYCC! Check out the FAQ below for more information on how to win and remember, as soon as you receive your badge in the mail you MUST activate your badge to participate. If you haven't yet, activate your badge now and then come back here for more info. No worries if you haven't received your badge in the mail yet. You can still enter the lottery - just be sure to activate your badge as soon as you receive it.

But now for Main Stage half the tickets will be given out so instead of 180,000 fans going for 3,400 seats you have 1,700 fans who won't go crazy trying to get into the panel room but now you have 178,300 trying for the other 1,700 (I know I'm exaggerating the numbers)Didn't we conclude because they count each day of attendance as unique (one person with a 4 day pass is a count of 4 instead of how SDCC counting them as 1) there's really no more than about 40K per day if that? Not that those odds are that much better! lol!
these are three unique things and should not be entwined with each other.Per my earlier post this I agree with. They should have put each as their own lottery. That would have definitely cut down pretty significantly IMO the amount of random "hey I'll just click to enter" entries.
Lottery starts Thursday September 14thCan one of the moderators add a calendar link? Thanks!
Enter the line for the Panel you want to see and walk straight to the front (or until you hit the back of the line). Every Fan that gets in line will be counted. Once we hit maximum capacity — based on the number of seats available in the Main Stage — that specific Panel's line will close and we will cap the line. Once that line is capped, there is no more room in the Main Stage for this Panel and no one else will be allowed in line.
There will be no overflow room.
I just saw this:
https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Content/Main-Stage-Clearing/ (https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Content/Main-Stage-Clearing/)
So they are assuming that everyone who wins the lottery and signs up for main stage panels are actually going to show up? I feel like that is short sighted, and there will be empty seats at a lot of these panels.
I don't think we can say that yet. It says once capped. They may have a time that winners have to be in line by if they are not then others may be allowed in. I think this is going to be a little more learn as we go. I expect lots on mistakes the first year!

I think this is going to be a little more learn as we go. I expect lots on mistakes the first year!That would be a good idea and I bet they'll use it. You win the lottery but have to be there to check in within 30 minutes of the panel. So for all the no shows you pull from the stand by line after the 50%. That makes good sense and I can see that being pretty effective.

BTW, NCDS I love the old school 2 spaces after the period. ;) ;D
So having it loaded on your badge is different --it means we can't transfer to someone else through showclix like we did last year.

Has anyone attending as press done this yet? We don't do fan verification, and it sounds to me like that's going to be an issue.

All that I can see here is the photobuckey third party image.Me Too! I think they want us to pay now for this.
Has anyone attending as press done this yet? We don't do fan verification, and it sounds to me like that's going to be an issue.I am going as press and also fan verified. I do have access to the lottery and will make my selections within the next few days once I figure out what I really want to try for vs any press obligations (which is still in the planning phase).
I think I originally misunderstood the whole Group 1/2 thing, so I want to clarify from someone who's already entered before I get myself all worked up over nothing.
You can pick from both groups, right? It's just the amount of things that you can choose from each group is different.
Yes, you can pick both Group 1 and Group 2 per day. On the 'add squad size" page you will see all your lottery picks as well!
yea if you have press you can enter. last year i even won a black sails signing, which was perfect cause i was doing black sails press
The press contact people seriously told me I couldn't enter. I feel dumb for bothering to ask now.
The system is different this year so who knows. If press can't enter then I am done with press.
I hear that. This is my first year doing NYCC, and I was shocked that they'd have that kind of policy, when I've never had a problem doing anything else a fan would do at any other con with a press badge.
Considering lotteries are the only way to get into the Funko booth -- or at least they are based on what I read on the Funko blog -- it's ridiculous that they'd even suggest blocking press badges from entering.
"Sorry, you can't spend money with Funko." Yeah, ok.
I also screwed up and only submitted an entry for one day. I tried emailing them but they won't respond.
If there was an issue w/ your submission, please email [email protected] w/ your name & Fan Verified email. Then stay tuned. Thanks! 🙂
If you emailed, you're being added to a list of submissions that will be reviewed. Please stay tuned. Thanks!
We've been doing our best to respond to every message. Please follow-up so it jumps back to the top.
Q: When will we know if we can retry the lotteries after the submission mishap?
A: We've been working hard on this. Please stay tuned. Thanks!
Thanks [member=1732]SamTurtledove[/member] !(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170918/bd44416d7b46beb42a5a3265ec7b4d75.jpg)
I hope in those emails someone told them Supermansion only allows you to select 1.

Reading that, you could make the mistake of thinking that's a "+1" box!
I told you you could enter three days ago
The press contact people seriously told me I couldn't enter. I feel dumb for bothering to ask now.
We reached our to Reedpop to verify that press can enter the lottery and they said yes. Just make sure you fan verify your email. I would assume this would go for pro also.
I feel better knowing we have an official answer from them.
I would assume this would go for pro also.
What Happens Now:
Badges will begin mailing out at the end of August through early September, so if you don't have it yet don't stress! It's still on the way. If you don't receive your badge by September 25 or so, then you can reach out to [email protected] to see what's up.
Once you get your badge in the mail, you'll need to activate your NYCC Badge in order to take part in any pre-show lotteries, badge tapping towers, activations, and more! (It's required, but it'll also give you a better experience at the show. We promise.) New York Comic Con uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in our badges. This means each NYCC badge contains a personalized microchip and is individually tied to you when you activate the badge to your Fan Verification profile, which you will need to create here, if you do not already have one. NYCC Fan Verification link (https://www.showclix.com/application/nycc-2017-ftinvr-fanver110210)
Through your badge activation process, you'll now be able to tap your badge at any towers for standby lines at panels, activations, or exhibitor booths. You'll tap your badge, enjoy your next stop at the show, and then receive a text when it's time to come back to that panel, activation, or booth! This will help cut down on the time you're waiting in line so you can experience all that NYCC has to offer. Your badge is not just your ticket into the show, but also your access to all the great content going on in the Javits Center and around the city.

Hey, everyone. If you need your lotteries submission reset, you have until 4:00 PM ET TONIGHT to send your Fan Verified email to us via DM
Please don't email Customer Service b/c they're delayed roughly 24 hours in their replies & we want to make sure we get your email in there!
Tonight you'll get an email around 5PM ET confirming your lottery submission has been reset.
You have until 9/25 at 5:00 PM ET to enter so please take your time.
New York Comic Con Please note this is only for people who believe they may have not submitted properly (i.e. did not make selections for all of their NYCC days).
For everyone else, if you clicked submit, it worked! There's no confirmation email. Thanks!
"if you already heard from Kristina, the Event Manager, you're all set."
Were we supposed to get a confirmation email that we submitted our lottery picks? I got one for the Mark Hamill lottery but not for the others.
I won two signings last year as press. I'm pretty sure that email is just an attempt to push the last bit of Thursday badges. It says I don't have a Thursday badge assigned to my email, which is true, because I have a press badge.
I lied.

What are the chances that someone will win different lotteries for the same day? Slim to none?
What are the chances that someone will win different lotteries for the same day? Slim to none?
One email telling you everything you won.
I got three things. Sucks
I got 0. Literally 0 out of 3 days.
My girlfriend got: Funko, Lego, and Ash vs. the Evil Dead
I am soooooooo jealous of Ash vs. the Evil Dead
I am pretty stoked about this one. She gets a plus one on that one so I get to go meet Bruce Campbell.
I got X-files, Lego and the Gifted! X-files was my number one thing I wanted to see at the con so I'm excited!
My husband got an email 5 min ago that he got nothing. I still have yet to receive my email.
Congrats. You have all the luck!
I have one dirk gently spot open. Also looking for 1 spot for American Gods
No lego for me of course
has anyone else noticed that the exclusives box is not blocked out, i.e. you can technicaly gift an exclusive to someone else
I can get you American gods.
I'm looking for
x-files and the gifted.
I don
appreciated the american gods spot. i can keep my eyes open for those two. do you need my email to enter for it
jewish holiday starting in 10 minutes i'll be off after 6:20 until almost 8 pm tomorrow
I maxed out my seats and my choices for every day and ended up with 5 things: Michael Rooker spotlight, Dirk Gently panel, Psych Reunion panel, The Gifted Panel, and the Final Space signing.Would love that Psych spot.
I have to coordinate with some friends, but I should have some slots open and if I can take myself out of any of them because of new scheduling conflicts, I may have a few more.
And my friend got Gufted and Funko for the same time, so they didn't even filter for that.
I got the Ash vs Evil Dead signing and the Jack Ryan signing. One of my friends got the Gifted panel, the Jack Ryan Signing and the lego exclusive. The other friend got nothing. I'm happy with what i got. The only thing is the confirmation email has the time of the signings but not where they are going to be. Unless i'm just missing it. I guess i'll just ask someone where it will be at the convention.
Is anyone able to change the emails on their Lego lotteries?
So i have a Funko that says " on Sunday, October 7th at 3pm"
2 problems, Sunday is October 8th and Since the convention closes at 5 on Sunday i doubt they have a time slot that late??
It urks me that they did not better explain the lottery and how it works. I only listed 1 item per grouping in fear i could only win 1 per group and now i hear that some people won 2 or 3 items in a grouping.... this sucks... and if it is 3pm Sunday.... its not like they will have much left. Whats the point? And no i am not giving it up.... just really mad about it.
Last year, their ticketing times were 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 4:00 PM.I was also told by one of the workers of the Funko booth that they restock for the morning and once for the early afternoon shift and then it's whatever is left for the last time.
I had a 1:30 PM on Sunday, but I actually got into the booth by 12:20 and was done by 1:00 PM. I feel like the general consensus was that the final wave of the day every day was slim pickings because they restocked once between the 10:30 and 1:30 waves and then opened the booth for everyone after the 4:00 wave.
again, i didnt win anything for the 2 days i'm going. only a bummer cuz i REALLY wanted that Hiro Mashima signing for my niece. she loves Fairy Tail and wanting to draw Natsu is what got her interested in art. mad that i can't wait in line for a wristband to this one.
- P
Where are people going to even see if they can change the e-mail on their lotteries? I won a signing, activated it, it said it was activated, but I don't see anywhere on the site where it lists the lotteries I've won or are attached to my badge...
Sorry to hear. He's supposed to have signings at Funimation booth on Sunday https://kodanshacomics.com/2017/09/13/hiro-mashima-nyc-fairy-tail/ and at a bookstore in NY (Friday raffle info here https://usa.kinokuniya.com/event-calendar/2017/10/6/hiro-mashima )
if it is 3pm Sunday... my choices may only be the Westworld Delores Pop....ugh.I love Westworld and I love Delores! ^-^
I actually just got an e-mail and I won a shot at the Lego exclusive so whatever they did worked.
I actually just got an e-mail and I won a shot at the Lego exclusive so whatever they did worked.Anyone else "win" in this second round?
I just read online from someone they took their 2nd spot away and then they won again.
They are failing!
