Earlier today, New York Comic Con announced that tickets for NYCC 2014 will go on sale beginning Wednesday, June 14, 2014 at 12 noon at newyorkcomiccon.com. 4-Day, VIP and Kid’s tickets will on sale that day, with 3-Day and Single Day tickets following at a later date.
This is much later than NYCC tickets have gone on sale in past years. I think it is because NYCC promoter Reed Pop didn’t want to overshadow their upcoming Special Edition: NYC convention coming in June to the Javits Center.
Considering the utter mess that was buying tickets in person in NYC comic book stores last year, I highly recommend buying your ticket the day it goes on sale. Remember the hours long line that snaked through the Financial District from Midtown Comics’s Fulton Street location on day 1 of ticket sales? You don’t want to have to live through that again. I also highly recommend buying a 4-Day Pass. But at the same time, it makes no sense to me that people were willing to pay more than double the list price of the 4-Day pass for a 3-Day pass on eBay in recent years. Make sure you buy your ticket early. That way you’ll be secure that you’ll have access to what is bound to be one awesome convention.
