We wanna see some pics and/or video if possible.

In fact, Midtown Comics is urging people to take pictures of the NYCC ticket line.



Someone on the Badge Holder's forum on Facebook commented as of 7:20pm EDT the line is already around the block, I guess, meaning on that side street heading towards Gold Street.

IMO given they have a little 'map' and they are expecting that many people, they have enough for that many people in line buying 4 tickets each

not sure I am being clear prob a little convoluted

So here's some update so far:

- The first person in line was told he will get TWD pass as well.
- The registers will be outdoor, at the tent.
- There will be an overnight security, so no incident like last year.
- There are some ReedPop crew there staying over night.
- Both ReedPop and the security are checking the line constantly to make sure no one cuts the line.
- The Wristbands will be distributes in waves; some seem to have them already.
- Last I saw, the line was on Pearl st.


Other than that, it looks like many are having either a terrible time, or enjoying he overnight stay with their friends.

From what Boukenred posted, there seems to be more organization this year.

They are handing out these tickets now. These appear to be line tickets to buy NYCC tickets.

I don't think they have started selling tickets yet. Line is more likely condensing, as they get ready.
