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.

Fingers crossed whoever you spoke to was wrong and we end up being able to enter :)

I also screwed up and only submitted an entry for one day.  I tried emailing them but they won't respond.

Reading that, you could make the mistake of thinking that's a "+1" box!

Except all the others let you pick 2.  I like the way you are thinking though.

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.

Technically you said you thought we could because you did last year.  It's all good though, I like knowing from the actual source.

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.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

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.



The details for Pros includes more references to the lottery!
