There is no need to camp in all honesty. This is primary due to the way they manage the lines and also clear the room.

I got into everything I wanted last year by arriving at 7am - Daredevil, Walking Dead, etc.

The setup is simple a) line up for wristbands and b) get in line for the room. There are chutes setup to manage lines for each panel and the process worked well last year.

ditto on what was said...I come in from NJ and get there between 9:30 and 10AM and managed to get into the panels I wanted. However I am prepared to have a backup in case it fills up.

Hi all. I updated the first post to highlight the expansion of this effort to the Hammerstein Ballroom. I cannot edit the thread title though.

I can't find the Google doc link?

I'm interested in Ash vs. Evil Dead on Saturday at Hammerstein, and possible Colony on Friday.

The doc is still underdevelopment. Will update the first post with the link when finished.

So far there is only one panel I *might* try for.  Anyways is there a way for me to help? I stopped trying to get into the main ballroom years ago so I don't know how it works.

i think we're just waiting for Dr_Who42 to sort through everything

once that happens we'll get an idea of what's needed.  Thank you for offering!

What about Thursday (which still has some announcements pending probably), and Vin Diesel on Saturday?

I'm not sure if it will be helpful or not but I have a SA badge.  If I get let in first does that mean I can head to the Main stage queue first?

i think Dr_Who42 only put panels in the doc which might get a lot of traffic.

yes, SA's let you go directly to the queue once your in the building.  At least that was how it worked last year

I like the thought that it'll be relatively easy to get in to see Vin.   :)

I just added my info to the doc. I hope I can help, but it's my first time at NYCC so I'm not really sure how we can help each other...if you get a bracelet do they put it on you right there, or do they hand it to you so you can swap with others?  Any insight into the logistics of how the team up will work would be appreciated. :)

They put it on you ... but c'mon, it's a paper bracelet with a little sticky residue on it.  ;)
