I noticed that there are more cosplayers in NYCC than in SDCC. I feel like in SDCC most people run on a schedule so they don't feel obligated to cosplay whereas in NYCC, the sense of urgency isn't there as much so I think there's more time throughout the con to cosplay. That and the weather during NYCC was a bit more tolerable to cosplay than in SDCC. That being said, I cosplayed for 3 days at NYCC and had an absolute blast making new friends and networking with other cosplayersArtists Alley is different. I frequent the California con circuit so for the most part I'm familiar with the artists who attend conventions however it was nice to see different artists at NYCC. I mean there are some that I recognized but a majority of the artists are those who I've never seen before.

So...I'm guessing that they count the same person more than once? If a person has a badge, but then purchases for an offsite (say like the Alex Ross signing/panel at the Studio that didn't require a badge, but did require a ticket to be purchased) they're counted twice? That makes that figure kinda...inflated...no?
I could see some NYCC stuff happening at The Shed...check out the video You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I used to try to go all 4 days but next year, I think I may just go on Saturday. I had a badge for Sunday but ended up skipping because I bought all the merch I wanted on Saturday and there weren't any panels I was absolutely dying to see on Sunday. There were no killer offsites like the one year they had West World, and outside of Funko, not much in terms of high demand merch (Ok, I did spend 2 hours in line for Joe Manganiello's Dark Crystal shirts). Plus Eats Con was also happening in my neighborhood and I had to try that exclusive Shake Shack burger. But maybe I'll do Friday/Saturday next year, especially if Netflix has something as great as their "Netflix and Chills" panel last year where they had a block of Haunting of Hill House, Umbrella Academy, Dark Crystal, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It did seem the interesting panels for me this year were on Thurs and Fri.
