Did they check IDs at the Titan screening?
Was it me or did anyone else feel like there was an inordinate amount of scalpers out this year? I think I probably passed at least 20+ folks walking towards Javits saying the "who needs/has tickets" chant...just felt like a lot to me this year.
The odd thing about NYCC is that I never got anywhere near the convention center yesterday. I got off the train, went to Hammerstein for some panels and then went to MSG for some panels. Then, I had dinner at Tracks Bar and Grill in the station and went home on the train.Even though I have a 4-day industry badge, work got really busy and I couldn't get out on Thursday and Friday. I saw one late panel on Friday at Javits. The scalpers weren't out at 7PM. The flow of foot traffic was leaving while I was arriving.Maybe today is the day I see Javits in the daytime. NYCC is such a different experience for me than SDCC.
Home to heroes, dreamers, wizards, rebels, all Thank you for making #NYCC 2018 the best one yet! Save the date for 2019: October 3-6.
Does any one else dislike the offsite venues for panels? Lots of reasons i dislike them. MSG and the Hammerstein are too far from the Javitz center. It makes it much more time consuming and difficult to go from a panel at say MSG and then go to the Javitz. Today i went to the Doctor who panel at MSG. It was over at 3:30pm. I wanted to go and walk the show floor one more time, maybe get some last minute deals on some stuff i had seen but by the time i got out of the garden and then the time it would have taken to walk over to Javitz it just didn't pay to do it with the show closing at 5pm. This happens every year sometimes on multiple days. If everything was in one venue i would have had plenty of time to walk the floor.And don't get me started on the food situation at MSG and the Hammerstein. No outside food allowed in and all they have at MSG is Hot dogs. I was at MSG all day on Saturday and it was really annoying only being able to get hot dogs all day. MSG rules just don't work for conventions.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I'm spoiled by San Diego Comic Con. That fills my cup, so I'm not all that interested in the panels at NY. I mostly do the show floor.
