NYCC 2019 Press & Pro Applications
« on: March 25, 2019, 08:37:26 AM »
Any ideas when we can expect these to open up? Last year pro registration opened around this time and press registration went live at the end of April.

Further update it is April 22, per the email. That's a quick turn around for the presale!

Thanks Mike. I actually posted the same question on their Facebook. It would be nice to know our application status before May 5th so we have a shot at the presale if we get denied.

Last year it was 21 business days maximum for application review, so that would put it past presale. They only took two weeks to review mine last year but I submitted like two weeks after it opened so.

[member=1229]JerseyGirl317[/member] the only consolation I will say is at least with Lyte you can buy a pass and resell it if you get approved.

I personally am a bit shook after getting rejected for Star Wars Celebration so I am hoping this goes smoothly. I will say I did apply for and was approved for Five Points Festival today though that is a smaller show

I can't afford to go if I don't get press, so it's no skin of my back, but that does seem like a very small turnaround. Makes me wonder if they're going to be less stringent with their qualifications just to get people approved.

I just watched the replay of their live Q&A. If you apply for a press/pro badge before May 1st you will know your status for the presale. If you apply after the 1st but before June 5th you will know for the general sale.

Looks like the application is more or less the same as last year so should be quick to fill out.

[member=2819]jamiesugah[/member] applied as well though I think I took a few extra minutes to apply, maybe submitted at like 12:30.

I included many more links than they asked for, for the links to last years coverage, I copied all of them. After Celebration I was like AHH!

I realized after I submitted mine that I made a mistake on it, so I've already had to email them about it. *headdesk* Today is not going well.
