How did you figure out 6%? It's nice to know all the other NY residents can get in. LOL

6-7% is the estimate the unofficial blog came up with.

I think the volunteer thing is a good idea and will keep that in mind. If you do volunteer, do you get a badge for all days or just the day you volunteer?

Unfortunately, I'm a lone wolf. I have very few friends and none of them are interested in attending comic cons.

I've only done what they call Pre-Con Shifts (Tues or Wed), and since I've always had 4 day badges, I don't know how it works to get a badge for a particular day.  However, from what I've seen on the forum, i think you have to do a shift for every day you want to get into the convention center.

The forum has a lot of good information

As for buying groups, if you're interested, keep your eye on the forum for openings.  They do a pretty good job.

Make sure to check Lyte, since that is the only official way to resell badges.

Obviously Lyte is new for NYCC, but I can tell you that for ECCC this year it worked extremely well, and nearly everyone who wanted badges and put themselves on the waitlist eventually got them. It doesn't hurt to try, just as it doesn't hurt to ask either. ;)

Any idea on the timeline of how quickly they fulfill their requests? I see that I'm 200+ in line for badges.  Did anyone tell you how long this takes?

It's variable, depending on how quickly people return badges.

Got an email saying my badge is shipped, but then in the email it says badges won't ship until September.

Confused???

Absolutely.

That’s crazy.  I went ahead and bought it off of eBay since it was cheaper

So it seems like people who sold their badges via Lyte are still getting badges shipped to them. They are "dead" badges. I'm sure scammers won't take advantage of this at all.

Does the NYCC have lots of offsite events like SDCC? Do things sell out in seconds like they do for SDCC?
