New York Comic Con is in 3 weeks. Are you going to be cosplaying? What booths on the show floor are you looking forward to visiting?

How ready are all of you?

Do photographers charge at this con for photos?

Any scenic locations to shoot at in the con?

>> No.9631883

So what the fuck are the rules for cosplay props this year? No guns at all no matter how fake they are? No real looking foam weapons? This is why new york shouldn't host comic Con. This shit is a joke.

I'm all for safety and security, but the security guards at this event every year clearly don't give a fuck about actual safety and more about how they can fuck over people since they can't attend the con because they are working or they despise the con because it's just a hassle for them.

>> No.9631919

>>9631883
Love how people bitch about the prop rules, but then if something serious happens, people will bitch that NYCC didn't do enough.

Like pick one or the other. The prop rules have been there for the past 2-3 years, and they get tougher everytime, but people still buy badges and act surprise they keep making them stricter and stricter to please the mundies taht come, that can't tell the difference between a real gun and one made from insulation foam.

Such an issue, then stop buying tickets. It's the only way they'll eventually listen. Then again there's enough fake geeks that just want to come to the con, they'll buy the badge ignoring the cares of the cosplayers just so they can say their fake asses were at NYCC.

>> No.9631927

yeah, just stay away from photographers who offer ridiculous price for generic work and hopeless promises to be printed on this awful mag called cosplay culture. the photographer is awful as the mag. Dont pay over $20 unless you compare the quality of work to others. and go on groups for photogs who offer free shoots. majority of the free photog are way better than photogs who charge for generic work

Unknown right now, but looks like they'll have one or two of the halls of Javits. It was supposed to be in the North building, but with the construction now that's probably not happening now. It's being run by the creator of NYAF and the company behind cons like AwesomeCon

So I never recieved my nycc badge. I bought one, I have the receipts for Thursday and Friday, but I have seen no badge in the mail.
I emailed customer service a while ago and they said it was confirmed on the way. But they said to contact them if I didn't recieve it by the 28th. Well I emailed them again last night and have yet to hear back.

Has anyone gone through this? I'm starting to worry because I'm in a group of like 10 people and they all have their badges, not to mention we're flying out to NYC on Wednesday. Could I just show up with my receipts at will call or something?

what line are we talking about? I've never had to wait for long unless I wanted to be the first one in.

>> No.9649040

>>9648791
So there is the outdoor line that forms before they open the center. Once the center is open they start to bring the outdoor line inside to form the indoor line that waits until the show floor is open. If you care about being one of the first 5,000 into the convention; you're looking at a 2.5-3 hour line.

Of course you can also just show up whenever after the con is open and usually wait only an hour to get in.
