Here's a summary of the announcements.

What I don't understand is how they will only clear part of Hammerstein/MSG. What if the non-reserved seats are full? Could someone 'go to the bathroom' and then come back and be in the room, even if there isn't a seat for them? I foresee a lot of issues.

ReedPop used the Lyte badge resale system at ECCC this year and it was very well received.

I won't be going this year due to the fact I have no family members living in New York and finances are tight, so staying at paid accommodations is off the table.  I was bummed that I missed seeing Michelle Rodriguez last year!

Those are some nice changes, especially the use of Lyte, which I've never heard of until now. I wish SDCC could use that.

Institute the use of bathroom passes, like in school. ;)

I have mixed feelings on the seat reservations for MSG. Hypothetically it could eliminate some of the folks who camp out all day for end of the day panels like The Walking Dead, but I would also assume the reserved seating is the closer seats? So if you don't win the lottery, you automatically have to sit further back? You can pretty much always get into MSG if you come a panel ahead, but I don't know if that will be the case in this new system.

I got an email this morning asking me to confirm my fan verification info, and when I did, I also got a confirmation email to say I was all set for the presale. Check your inboxes!

It seems like they're making things needlessly complicated. Par for the course.

We got our emails to verify our Fan Accounts as well :) Really simply - took maybe 30 seconds.

Emails are going about verification being successful. You'll get an email link 48 hours before the sale.

Got my link too! I know I said last year that I wasn't planning on going back anytime soon but man, I really love the cosplay scene at NYCC more than SDCC and would want to be part of that crowd again. Hmmmm decisions.....
