Tickets/Badges

Before purchasing a ticket/badge fans must go to the NYCC website and “fan verify” in order to purchase a ticket/badge. This “fan verify” is a tactic to stop ticket scalpers from ordering multiple tickets and then reselling them at a higher price.
Unfortunately, tickets have gone on sale already and have sold out for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday: Kids Passes, and 4-Day Passes. However, you can purchase these passes through Lyte; a secondary market ticket seller that has teamed with NYCC runners. You can access the Lyte store through the NYCC website’s ticket section.
Thursday passes are still for sale on the website for $55.00, so get them while they still last.
Kids under the age of 5 can enter the event for free, but anyone above 6 years old will be charged. Also, NYCC passes bought on or before September 15th will be mailed to you via USPS. Any NYCC tickets bought after that date, the buyer will have to bring the email verification to Will Call at the Javits Center the day they go to the convention.
SIDE NOTE: If an NYCC 2019 ticket is lost, you will be fully charged for a replacement pass.
