With the countdown on for the return of New York Comic Con, the news that the event completely sold out in just 12 hours must be a huge boost the event organisers Reedpop as they prepare to re-enter the world of in-person conventions after many months of only online activity.
Over the weekend, badges for the 2021 New York Comic Con (NYCC) went on sale – and sold out in a record 12 hours. ReedPop, the organizers of NYCC, confirmed they have a reduced capacity this year due to COVID-19 precautions but did not give out the exact number of badges sold. Members of its recently-unveiled Metaverse program got first dibs on those badges, followed by those who attended the last NYCC (in 2019).
2021’s NYCC is part of a four-convention plan this year by ReedPop, which also includes Florida SuperCon, Emerald City Comic Con, and C2E2. Newsarama spoke with ReedPop president Lance Fensterman and event director Kristina Rogers about ths return to in-person conventions after much of the dangers of the COVID-19 pandemic have seemingly passed.
New York Comic Con takes place at Javits Center in Manhattan 7th – 10th October 2021.
