What’s different for NYCC 2016

  • It’s not sold out yet! Thursday badges are available so remember to register first.
  • New York Super Week is being renamed “NYCC presents.” NYCC presents are events that do not require a NYCC badge and are held at some off-site location.
  • NYCC is taking over even more of the city! Capacity is an issue at the Javits Center so they continue to expand their footprint outside of Javits. Make sure you budget the time to make your way out of Javits, over to the new venue and go through security/badge check!
    • The biggest panels will be at The Theater at Madison Square Garden (7th Ave between 31st st and 33rd street)
      • [UPDATE] Take 31st to 7th Ave since that’s the path the queue will take. Also, they do NOT allow outside food or beverage and they will not be clearing out the auditorium between panels.
    • The Hammerstein Ballroom will be used all weekend (34th street between 9th Ave and 8th Ave)
      • [UPDATE] The line will form along 34th street. Also, they do NOT allow outside food or beverage and they will not be clearing out the auditorium between panels.
    • Book panels and publishers will be moved to the Hudson Mercantile for Book Con @ NYCC (36th just west of 10th)
  • NYCC always takes security seriously and the restrictions on cosplay weapons and armor have changed. Check out the cosplay FAQ on the website for current details and some additional rules for The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
  • Some of the biggest panels are held at the Javits’ Main stage and NYCC has a new procedure to get into those panels (panels at the Theater at Madison Square Garden and the Hammerstein Ballroom are NOT included). Like last year, you’ll line up first thing in the morning, but this time, you’ll tap your badge which will be magically encoded with permission to get into the panel. So it’s like a wristband, but it’s your badge. They’ve written out the procedure in more detail which you can read here
  • NYCC will have an official Twitter account to help update people on lines (yeah!) Follow @NYCCLines!
