I'll think about this when the time comes.

It's interesting to see this come full circle. They used to offer VIP and used to offer pre-sale of VIP for the next year, then they stopped pre-sale of VIP to previous VIPs, then they stopped VIPs altogether a year after some VIPs were yelling at staff and they decided it wasn't worth it.

Now after a few hard hit COVID years they bring back the VIP pass after Lance literally told me one year that NYCC is a different show than others and shouldn't have VIP and other staff (some still working at RP) stating that they want a fair experience for all and a level playing field at NYCC. So I just wonder if it is a matter of time until we just see this cycle again where they start by cutting VIP pre-sale, then cut VIP completely.

I see that they are requiring purchased event tickets for certain panels now with the disclaimer: *Both a ticket to this event and a valid ticket for ____day or a 4-Day NYCC ticket are required.

The VIP tix say this:

Reserved seating in our Empire and Main Stages. You must arrive 25 minutes prior to the start of each panel to guarantee your seat

Guaranteed access to all other panel rooms. This may not include a guaranteed seat if the room is full, but will grant you standing room access

Just wondering how they will handle this...

I was actually thinking the same thing. I know for the BTTF panel last year VIPs did get in. But it seems like it used to be you buy a NYCC ticket you get access to NYCC content. While there has been paid stuff offsite now that everything is on site and utilizing panel rooms that we are meant to have access to it is frustrating as we pay so much extra

add this SAG strike and NYCC is going to have a bunch of upset VIPs at the talkback panel this year if the value is not there for a second year in a row.

gonna start feeling like a wizard world event
