This is what I get for not checking in in forever. I'm 2 weeks late! Thanks for the heads up though. I went ahead and registered.

I already got approved for my pro badge. It only took 2 days! I'm guessing it was so quick because they never announced that registration opened and people haven't been flooding the page. Now we wait to see if John_Yon get approved...

Based on NYCC tweets, look like many press confirmations emails went out today.

The pro reg seems a little too simple this year, puts me off lol.

But yeah, last year the pro and press reg didn't get flooded until the day AFTER 4/3 days tickets sold out in stores. Normal people realized it was their last resort and poor reedpop got flooded with non pros trying to get passes. If humans are creatures of habit then it shouldn't become a problem until then. Hopefully all the people that got rejected last year will remember they don't qualify and wont try again.

I also like how they don't ask for the payment hold. Too confusing I guess and too much room for charges to mistakenly go through. But that also means more work for the con crew.

Well, lets see what happens. I got two published comics now so I have more in my belt to prevent a rejection.

So John_Yon got approved yesterday. So far 5 of 6 people in our group that applied on Wednesday got approved.

After some incidents (and my own idiocy), I was approved for Press!

Late to the party, but this is my first time going to NYCC. Got my press pass and SuperWeek Card.

Hello all other press & pro attendees! :)

Looks like whoever was in charge of reviewing the pro apps went full steam ahead and went through everything the day before tickets went on sale so that we would all have answers, to know if we needed to get normal tickets. Sadly lots of my college friends were rejected for the pro pass... >_> But good job to the reviewer.
