Read This First!

Read it first before what? Before anything!

The lovely image to your left is a simple diagram of the con for this year. Why should you care? It'll tell you where to pick up tickets, where to buy tickets, where to get your kick ass VIP packages, where the floor is blue and where it's orange.

Where can you get a map like this? Why on the NY ComicCon web site, that's where! Some time tomorrow we'll also have a floor plan of all the booths and stuff too. Wait for that, but go here for a bigger version of this map and other good info.

Read this now! It's about lines and stuff: See the big gray area on level 3 in the diagram? That's a huge empty hall that we are going to let everyone line up in. Cool, eh? We'll check your ticket and stamp your hand and then you can wait there until the con opens! No more waiting outside!

See the Blue box on Level 3? that's where fans can pick up tickets they've paid for or buy tickets.

See the yellow strip on Level 2? That's where pro's, creators, exhibitors and people who bought the kick as VIP ticket can get registered AND enter end exit the con! Yes, you get your own entrance! How sweet is that!

See the purple and red on level 1? That's the IGN.com Theatre and where most of the 250 panels will take place.

This concludes your guided tour.

Tomorrow, I explain to you how to get tickets for autographing and how to whistle while walking.

Great, it really sounds like there are vast improvements compared to last year - it was brutal waiting outside in the cold for an hour or so...

I love that we are inside instead of freezing our butts off outside on line. That was the worst.

Can't wait to hear about the autograph ticketing. Is there any chance the battlestar guests will be signing?

The NY Comic Con link in paragraph 3 is not working.

Looking forward to the show!

Thanks JohnnyNVA, Blogger does this with my links sometimes - I'm fixing it now!

Great job on the info!

That beautiful map showing all three levels? The PDF doesn't fit when going to print. I had to reduce it manually.

Looks great! Soon you'll have the whole building, with gaming in the Galleria & River Pavilion, free kids/family programming in Hall 1A, and lots of booksignings the week before!
