I'm also amazed at how fast the VIP tickets sold out, especially considering that last year's VIP extras were, in my opinion, not worth the extra money. I guess Reed realized that and added such NYCC VIP staples as a VIP lounge, coat check and private ATM. I'm surprised they couldn't find a space for a lounge last year. Maybe with the change in venue they were able to create one this year.
Does anyone remember how fast SE:NYC 2014 VIP tickets sold out - if, indeed, they did?
