Just a thanks for this as well, I shared it in our UK SDCC facebook group as there are a number of us who've been to SDCC in recent years that are now looking to attend NYCC for the first time this year so we found the article really useful to understand how things are run.

I'm glad you were able to find it useful!

I have a dilemma. 

I'm thinking about going to NYCC this year, except there is a film festival based in Los Angeles that I would like to submit my short documentary to, except it's held on the same exact days as NYCC (Oct. 4-7).  If they accept my film, I can't return my NYCC badges for refund nor can I transfer them.  Just read the legal fine print on NYCC's site.

And Now a Word from Our Legal Team...
Tickets and/or badges (“Badges”) for the event (“Event”) are non-refundable and non-transferable ...


So far, I have not made a decision on either.  Being that I don't have a place to stay in New York, maybe it's just as well that I save money and try to concentrate on the film festival instead.  Of course there is no guarantee they'll accept my film either.

A happy dilemma.  Hope you many hear from the film festival before you have to make that choice!  Congratulations on having to make that choice.  (that doesn't help, I know :-\)
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

Just received my NYCC badge presale email:

“The link you’ve been waiting for is here! Please find your unique New York Comic Con 2018 presale link below. Your link is currently active and will take you straight to registration when you click it, but you won’t be able to purchase badges until Sunday, June 10 at 10:00 AM ET. We are selling a limited number of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday Kids badges for the presale.

During the presale, each badge MUST be assigned during checkout to a person who confirmed their Fan Verification account for 2018. You’ll have to assign yourself to your badge(s) as well as any friends or family you’re buying badges for.

Have their email addresses ready! We’ve extended the time you’re allowed to complete your purchase, but it is still limited.
You will not be able to checkout if you do not complete this step and could end up losing any NYCC badges in your cart if time runs out. You’ve been warned.

Do not share your link with your friends – even if they’re your besties. Once you’ve purchased the maximum badge allotment, the link will expire. If we notice the link is being used in too many browsers, it will be flagged and become inactive.

Each fan has the opportunity to purchase a maximum of four (4) badges per type and sixteen (16) badges in total. NYCC 2018 badges are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Fan Verification does not guarantee that you will get badges or the badge type you want.

Good luck,
NYCC Team”

Here is an FAQ video, interesting that this year they are allowing fans to re-assign tickets to a friend

Being able to change the ticket assignment from one fan to another fan is new.  I think that is a good idea in case someone finds they cannot go or wants to switch to a different family member, for instance.

So this video and the accompanying tweets make it sound like it's not a queue?

"Remember, your link won't be active until 10:00 AM ET on Sunday, 6/10! You'll want to hit refresh right at 10:00 AM if you're on that link earlier than that."

This is my first time trying for NYCC (I fan verified last year but ended up not going), but my friends have gone before and said it was an online queue like what OnPeak uses for SDCC hotels.

You too!  Thankfully I had my sister log on also.  She was in an out with ours in 8 mins.  My browsers are still in the queue.  Good luck to everyone else!

I got in at around 10:15am, badges bought! I think that's the fastest I've ever gotten in. Time to exhale... :)
