Which hotel do you recommend if I stay in New York for NYCC?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We stayed at Yotel last year and we enjoyed the experience.  It was a pretty interesting set up (you use kiosks to check in, the room setup is strange) and the walk to Javits was only a few minutes.  It was also one of the cheaper "official" hotels, I think it was $300 a night through NYCC.

I have also stayed at the Courtyard near Penn and the New Yorker.  They are both fine hotels as well.  They are standard small NYC hotel rooms and the walk to Javits isn't that bad.

I'm thinking of going this year, first time.

Is there a guide, or can someone help with a rough idea of getting tickets, as in when? heard things last year about pre-registration to be able to be eligible to buy tickets? I was only half paying attention back then.

Also, with the panels, are they free to get into? I'd love to get into some Marvel ones, but know they will be popular.

In more recent years, tickets have gone sale sometime between May and July. Last year they started "Fan Verification", which you fill out form with some questions, to verify that you are fan really interested in attending NYCC, before buying tickets. All panels are usually free to attend for day(s) the ticket you purchased. Yes, Marvel panels are usually some of most popular panels.

we'll be ramping up for NYCC - the tix sales have been intense but not as crazy as sdcc, yet.  we have run buying groups in the past to help secure tix. It might be a good idea to join one.

I highly recommend it! NYCC has come a really long way the past few years. I first in 2010, and wow what a difference! That first year I only went on Saturday and you could just easily walk around. Now it's super packed! It'll never rival SDCC when it comes to celebrities, movie panels, or exclusives, but NYCC has really come into its own.

I really wish I got into comics (or at least afford them) back before NYCC got so big. Not into the movie/celeb panels, just the comicbook-related stuff.

It's getting harder and harder to get tickets this year and I'm hoping I can finally bring cousins or my wife

I guess not to be outdone by SDCC, NYCC has awoken out of hibernation and teased info soon. I just hope it is something more firm than look for ticket sales in spring. Like no-duh.

Alyssa, will there be a separate thread for hotel rooms? I'm looking for a hotel now before the hotel registration opens.

Out of the 3 years we've fattened NYCC, we never use the hotels the con offered as they are super expensive even for a discount rate. We usually downtown, one yeah we stayed near Tribeca and another year we were near Washington Square Park. We just took the subway or took a cab if running late or tired. Last year only went for one day and spent it all day inside MSG for panels. This year we are doing the weekend again and will look for hotels in the same area again. Also it's less crowded and cheaper to eat if not near the normal tourist areas.

The ticket process is first come first serve?? So, it is basically refresh until the link goes live?

It is a queue, you go in on a link given to you and wait.
