There’s so much news that can get buried in the NYCC official website which seems to hold information hostage. Most of these panels just require a NYCC badge, but a few at the Shop Studios require an additional ticket which is noted with Anime Fest @ NYCC or $. Don’t forget to check out my How to NYCC post for more information on the different panel room locations.

Also, I’ll be also regularly posting news on autographs, booth and off-site activities and exclusives so follow along for all the news gathered in one place!

[UPDATE] NYCC is holding a new lottery for tickets to a few more panels (DC Titans, Fox movies featuring Alita: Battle Angel and Dark Phoenix, screening and Q&A for Bad Times at El Royale). Also, in conjunction with Entertainment Weekly and MPAA, there will be a series of panel discussions at the Shop Studios which is available to any badge holders without the need for an additional ticket.
