Javits Convention Center\n.\n[\n22\n]\nDue to RX's lack of experience with comic conventions (they primarily dealt with professional trade shows prior to 2006), attendance was far more than anticipated, and the main exhibition hall could only hold 10,000.\n[\n23\n]\nDespite crowding on Friday afternoon, tickets continued to be sold due to low pre-reg numbers (4,500), and the non-counting of professionals and exhibitors. The main exhibition hall hit capacity Saturday morning and was locked by the fire marshals until people left, with the lockdown ending in the afternoon. Major guests, including\nKevin Smith\nand\nFrank Miller\n, could not enter the main hall.\n[\n24\n]\nThe line to enter the convention wrapped around the building with waits of two hours to enter, and many were turned away.\n[\n25\n]\nTicket sales for Sunday were suspended.\n[\n26\n]\nReed announced that additional space would be acquired for the 2007 show.\nThe second con was held in\n2007\n, with the convention organizer booking double the floor space than the previous year's space, and moving to the upper level of the Javits Center.\n[\n27\n]\nThe show on Friday was again only open to industry and press until 4 p.m., when it opened to the public.\n[\n28\n]\nDue to better planning, advance ticket sales were controlled, and the convention sold out for Saturday.\n[\n29\n]\nLines started forming at midnight Saturday to enter the convention, and by Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour wait in 20 degree temperatures to enter.\n[\n30\n]\nCrowding was a problem in the Artists Alley, which was off the main convention floor, causing it to be moved to the main floor for 2008.\n[\n31\n]\nThe\nAmerican Anime Awards\n, hosted by New York Comic Con, was held on February 24 at the\nNew Yorker Hotel\n, during the Comic Con.\n[\n32\n]\nThe third con held in\n2008\nmoved to April, continued to grow (expanding space by 50%), and occupied most of the main level in the Javits Center.\n[\n31\n]\nStan Lee was awarded the inaugural New York Comics Legend Award at the\nTimes Square\nVirgin Megastore\nbefore the Comic Con.\n[\n33\n]\nKids' Day programming was added to the convention on Sunday with the help of Kids's Comic Con.\n[\n34\n]\n[\n35\n]\nThe fourth con held in\n2009\nreturned to February and featured a charity art auction to support\nThe Hero Initiative\n.\n[\n36\n]\nDue to scheduling conflicts with the Javits Center for spring dates and the creation of the\nChicago Comic & Entertainment Expo\nby Reed, New York Comic Con was moved to October for\nHalloween\nstarting in\n2010\n.\n[\n37\n]\nThe New York Anime Festival, previously a separate event created by Reed, was also merged into Comic Con.\n[\n38\n]\nRegistration for the combined events was 190 percent ahead of 2009's numbers, convention space was increased by an additional 40 percent, and the anime festival was moved to the lower level of the Javits.\n[\n3\n]\nThe main floor of the convention center was split by a large construction area due to repairs to the Javits Center.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nIntel Extreme Masters Global Challenge – New York\ntook place in Comic Con\n2011\n. It featured\nesports\ntournaments for games such as\nStarCraft II\n,\nLeague of Legends\n, and\nCounter-Strike\n.\n[\n39\n]\nIn 2011, the convention was expanded to four days. The first day of the convention was initially limited to press, professionals, and fans that purchased a four-day pass. This changed in 2013, when single day Thursday passes were put on sale for the first time. With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America. The latter was unable to grow further due to venue capacity limits and an attendance cap of 130,000.\n[\n40\n]\nIn 2016, it was announced that everyone attending NYCC 2016 would be required to complete a \"Fan Verification\" profile. The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016.\n[\n41\n]\nIn 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued. Only single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday kids tickets would be sold for the event.\n[\n42\n]\nIn 2018, the event organizers announced a partnership with\nAnime Expo\nfor show called Anime Fest @ NYCC X Anime Expo.\n[\n43\n]\nIn 2019, the sale of 4-day badge returned along with the single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Kids Tickets, would be sold for the event once again, but the 3-day tickets were still discontinued.\nThe convention's 2020 show was originally scheduled for October 8–11. However, in August, the event's organizers announced the cancellation of their in-person event, due to the\nCOVID-19 pandemic\n. Instead, a virtual event called \"New York Comic Con X MCM Comic Con Metaverse\" was on those dates. Tickets to the 2020 in-person event had not gone on sale prior to its cancellation.\n[\n44\n]\nNew York Comic Con returned to the Javits Center in 2021 with an in-person event held on October 7–10. All attendees over the age of 12 were required to show proof of vaccination, and children under 12 had to show a negative coronavirus test result.\n[\n45\n]\nDates\nLocation\nAttendance\nNotable guests\nFebruary 24–26, 2006\nJacob K.

Javits Convention Center](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Javits_Center \"Javits Center\").[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-22) Due to RX's lack of experience with comic conventions (they primarily dealt with professional trade shows prior to 2006), attendance was far more than anticipated, and the main exhibition hall could only hold 10,000.[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-ign2006-23) Despite crowding on Friday afternoon, tickets continued to be sold due to low pre-reg numbers (4,500), and the non-counting of professionals and exhibitors.

It featured [esports](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Esports \"Esports\") tournaments for games such as *[StarCraft II](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/StarCraft_II:_Wings_of_Liberty \"StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty\")*, *[League of Legends](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/League_of_Legends \"League of Legends\")*, and *[Counter-Strike](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Counter-Strike \"Counter-Strike\")*.[\\[39\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-39)\n\nIn 2011, the convention was expanded to four days. The first day of the convention was initially limited to press, professionals, and fans that purchased a four-day pass. This changed in 2013, when single day Thursday passes were put on sale for the first time. With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America. The latter was unable to grow further due to venue capacity limits and an attendance cap of 130,000.[\\[40\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-comicbook.com-40)\n\nIn 2016, it was announced that everyone attending NYCC 2016 would be required to complete a \"Fan Verification\" profile. The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016.[\\[41\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-41)\n\nIn 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued. Only single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday kids tickets would be sold for the event.[\\[42\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-42)\n\nIn 2018, the event organizers announced a partnership with [Anime Expo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anime_Expo \"Anime Expo\") for show called Anime Fest @ NYCC X Anime Expo.[\\[43\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-43)\n\nIn 2019, the sale of 4-day badge returned along with the single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Kids Tickets, would be sold for the event once again, but the 3-day tickets were still discontinued.\n\nThe convention's 2020 show was originally scheduled for October 8–11. However, in August, the event's organizers announced the cancellation of their in-person event, due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/COVID-19_pandemic_in_New_York_City \"COVID-19 pandemic in New York City\").

With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America.

The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016.[\\[41\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-41)\n\nIn 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued.

It was first held in 2006. [ 5 ] With an attendance of 200,000 in 2022, it is North America's most attended fan convention. The New York Comic Con is a for-profit event produced and managed by ReedPop, a division of RX and Reed Elsevier, and is not affiliated with the long running non-profit San Diego Comic-Con , nor the Big Apple Convention , later known as the Big Apple Comic-Con, owned by Wizard Entertainment . Previous conventions in New York [ edit ] The first recorded "official" comic book convention occurred in 1964 in New York City. Known as the "New York Comicon", [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] it was held July 24, 1964, [ 10 ] at the Workman's Circle Building. [ 11 ] A one-day convention organized by 16-year-old Bernie Bubnis [ 12 ] and fellow enthusiast Ron Fradkin, [ 11 ] official guests of the Tri-State Con included Steve Ditko , [ 13 ] Flo Steinberg , [ 12 ] and Tom Gill . [ 11 ] [ 14 ] Reports were of over 100 attendees. [ 14 ] In 1966, comic book conventions continued to evolve and expand, The July 23–24 New York Comicon (not to be confused with the later "New York Comic Con") was held at the Park Sheraton Hotel, in New York. Produced by John Benson, [ 15 ] guests included Jack Kirby , Jim Steranko , Otto Binder , Len Brown , Larry Ivie , Jack Binder , Roy Thomas , Gil Kane , Archie Goodwin , Bhob Stewart , Klaus Nordling , Sal Trapani , Rocke Mastroserio , and Ted White . The New York Comic Con is a for-profit event produced and managed by ReedPop, a division of RX and Reed Elsevier, and is not affiliated with the long running non-profit San Diego Comic-Con , nor the Big Apple Convention , later known as the Big Apple Comic-Con, owned by Wizard Entertainment . ReedPop is involved with other events, including Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) and PAX Dev / PAX East / PAX Prime . [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] [ 19 ] [ 20 ] ReedPop and New York Comic Con were founded by Greg Topalian, former senior vice president of RX. [ 21 ] The show floor in 2007 The first con was held in late February 2006 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center . [ 22 ] Due to RX's lack of experience with comic conventions (they primarily dealt with professional trade shows prior to 2006), attendance was far more than anticipated, and the main exhibition hall could only hold 10,000. [ 23 ] Despite crowding on Friday afternoon, tickets continued to be sold due to low pre-reg numbers (4,500), and the non-counting of professionals and exhibitors. The main exhibition hall hit capacity Saturday morning and was locked by the fire marshals until people left, with the lockdown ending in the afternoon. Major guests, including Kevin Smith and Frank Miller , could not enter the main hall. [ 24 ] The line to enter the convention wrapped around the building with waits of two hours to enter, and many were turned away. [ 25 ] Ticket sales for Sunday were suspended. [ 26 ] Reed announced that additional space would be acquired for the 2007 show. The second con was held in 2007 , with the convention organizer booking double the floor space than the previous year's space, and moving to the upper level of the Javits Center. [ 27 ] The show on Friday was again only open to industry and press until 4 p.m., when it opened to the public. [ 28 ] Due to better planning, advance ticket sales were controlled, and the convention sold out for Saturday. [ 29 ] Lines started forming at midnight Saturday to enter the convention, and by Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour wait in 20 degree temperatures to enter. [ 30 ] Crowding was a problem in the Artists Alley, which was off the main convention floor, causing it to be moved to the main floor for 2008. [ 31 ] The American Anime Awards , hosted by New York Comic Con, was held on February 24 at the New Yorker Hotel , during the Comic Con. [ 32 ] The third con held in 2008 moved to April, continued to grow (expanding space by 50%), and occupied most of the main level in the Javits Center. [ 31 ] Stan Lee was awarded the inaugural New York Comics Legend Award at the Times Square Virgin Megastore before the Comic Con. [ 33 ] Kids' Day programming was added to the convention on Sunday with the help of Kids's Comic Con. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] The fourth con held in 2009 returned to February and featured a charity art auction to support The Hero Initiative . [ 36 ] Due to scheduling conflicts with the Javits Center for spring dates and the creation of the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo by Reed, New York Comic Con was moved to October for Halloween starting in 2010 . [ 37 ] The New York Anime Festival, previously a separate event created by Reed, was also merged into Comic Con. [ 38 ] Registration for the combined events was 190 percent ahead of 2009's numbers, convention space was increased by an additional 40 percent, and the anime festival was moved to the lower level of the Javits. [ 3 ] The main floor of the convention center was split by a large construction area due to repairs to the Javits Center. [ citation needed ] Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge – New York took place in Comic Con 2011 . It featured esports tournaments for games such as StarCraft II , League of Legends , and Counter-Strike . [ 39 ] In 2011, the convention was expanded to four days. The first day of the convention was initially limited to press, professionals, and fans that purchased a four-day pass. This changed in 2013, when single day Thursday passes were put on sale for the first time. With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America. The latter was unable to grow further due to venue capacity limits and an attendance cap of 130,000. [ 40 ] In 2016, it was announced that everyone attending NYCC 2016 would be required to complete a "Fan Verification" profile. The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016. [ 41 ] In 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued. Only single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday kids tickets would be sold for the event. [ 42 ] In 2018, the event organizers announced a partnership with Anime Expo for show called Anime Fest @ NYCC X Anime Expo. [ 43 ] In 2019, the sale of 4-day badge returned along with the single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Kids Tickets, would be sold for the event once again, but the 3-day tickets were still discontinued. The convention's 2020 show was originally scheduled for October 8–11. However, in August, the event's organizers announced the cancellation of their in-person event, due to the COVID-19 pandemic . Instead, a virtual event called "New York Comic Con X MCM Comic Con Metaverse" was on those dates. Tickets to the 2020 in-person event had not gone on sale prior to its cancellation. [ 44 ] New York Comic Con returned to the Javits Center in 2021 with an in-person event held on October 7–10. All attendees over the age of 12 were required to show proof of vaccination, and children under 12 had to show a negative coronavirus test result.

Javits Convention Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javits_Center "Javits Center").[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-22) Due to RX's lack of experience with comic conventions (they primarily dealt with professional trade shows prior to 2006), attendance was far more than anticipated, and the main exhibition hall could only hold 10,000.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-ign2006-23) Despite crowding on Friday afternoon, tickets continued to be sold due to low pre-reg numbers (4,500), and the non-counting of professionals and exhibitors. The main exhibition hall hit capacity Saturday morning and was locked by the fire marshals until people left, with the lockdown ending in the afternoon. Major guests, including [Kevin Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Smith "Kevin Smith") and [Frank Miller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Miller "Frank Miller"), could not enter the main hall.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-popimage2006-24) The line to enter the convention wrapped around the building with waits of two hours to enter, and many were turned away.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-cbrnycc2006-25) Ticket sales for Sunday were suspended.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-cbrnyccsuspends2006-26) Reed announced that additional space would be acquired for the 2007 show. The second con was held in [2007](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_comics "2007 in comics"), with the convention organizer booking double the floor space than the previous year's space, and moving to the upper level of the Javits Center.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-icv2nycc07-27) The show on Friday was again only open to industry and press until 4 p.m., when it opened to the public.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-fct2007-28) Due to better planning, advance ticket sales were controlled, and the convention sold out for Saturday.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-29) Lines started forming at midnight Saturday to enter the convention, and by Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour wait in 20 degree temperatures to enter.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-30) Crowding was a problem in the Artists Alley, which was off the main convention floor, causing it to be moved to the main floor for 2008.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwnycc08-31) The [American Anime Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anime_Awards "American Anime Awards"), hosted by New York Comic Con, was held on February 24 at the [New Yorker Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorker_Hotel "New Yorker Hotel"), during the Comic Con.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-32) The third con held in [2008](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_in_comics "2008 in comics") moved to April, continued to grow (expanding space by 50%), and occupied most of the main level in the Javits Center.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwnycc08-31) Stan Lee was awarded the inaugural New York Comics Legend Award at the [Times Square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square "Times Square") [Virgin Megastore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Megastores "Virgin Megastores") before the Comic Con.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-33) Kids' Day programming was added to the convention on Sunday with the help of Kids's Comic Con.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-34)[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-35) The fourth con held in [2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_in_comics "2009 in comics") returned to February and featured a charity art auction to support [The Hero Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_Initiative "The Hero Initiative").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-36) Due to scheduling conflicts with the Javits Center for spring dates and the creation of the [Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Comic_%26_Entertainment_Expo "Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo") by Reed, New York Comic Con was moved to October for [Halloween](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween "Halloween") starting in [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_in_comics "2010 in comics").[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-37) The New York Anime Festival, previously a separate event created by Reed, was also merged into Comic Con.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-mangaabout-38) Registration for the combined events was 190 percent ahead of 2009's numbers, convention space was increased by an additional 40 percent, and the anime festival was moved to the lower level of the Javits.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwcomicconback-3) The main floor of the convention center was split by a large construction area due to repairs to the Javits Center.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] [Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge – New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Extreme_Masters "Intel Extreme Masters") took place in Comic Con [2011](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_in_comics "2011 in comics"). It featured [esports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esports "Esports") tournaments for games such as [StarCraft II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft_II:_Wings_of_Liberty "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty"), [League of Legends](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Legends "League of Legends"), and [Counter-Strike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike "Counter-Strike").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-39) In 2011, the convention was expanded to four days. The first day of the convention was initially limited to press, professionals, and fans that purchased a four-day pass. This changed in 2013, when single day Thursday passes were put on sale for the first time. With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America. The latter was unable to grow further due to venue capacity limits and an attendance cap of 130,000.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-comicbook.com-40) In 2016, it was announced that everyone attending NYCC 2016 would be required to complete a "Fan Verification" profile. The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-41) In 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued. Only single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday kids tickets would be sold for the event.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-42) In 2018, the event organizers announced a partnership with [Anime Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_Expo "Anime Expo") for show called Anime Fest @ NYCC X Anime Expo.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-43) In 2019, the sale of 4-day badge returned along with the single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Kids Tickets, would be sold for the event once again, but the 3-day tickets were still discontinued. The convention's 2020 show was originally scheduled for October 8–11. However, in August, the event's organizers announced the cancellation of their in-person event, due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_New_York_City "COVID-19 pandemic in New York City"). Instead, a virtual event called "New York Comic Con X MCM Comic Con Metaverse" was on those dates. Tickets to the 2020 in-person event had not gone on sale prior to its cancellation.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-44) New York Comic Con returned to the Javits Center in 2021 with an in-person event held on October 7–10. All attendees over the age of 12 were required to show proof of vaccination, and children under 12 had to show a negative coronavirus test result.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-45) ## Location and dates \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_Comic_Con&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Location and dates")\] \| Dates \| Location \| Attendance \| Notable guests \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| February 24–26, 2006 \| [Jacob K.

Javits Convention Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javits_Center "Javits Center").[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-22) Due to RX's lack of experience with comic conventions (they primarily dealt with professional trade shows prior to 2006), attendance was far more than anticipated, and the main exhibition hall could only hold 10,000.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-ign2006-23) Despite crowding on Friday afternoon, tickets continued to be sold due to low pre-reg numbers (4,500), and the non-counting of professionals and exhibitors. The main exhibition hall hit capacity Saturday morning and was locked by the fire marshals until people left, with the lockdown ending in the afternoon. Major guests, including [Kevin Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Smith "Kevin Smith") and [Frank Miller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Miller "Frank Miller"), could not enter the main hall.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-popimage2006-24) The line to enter the convention wrapped around the building with waits of two hours to enter, and many were turned away.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-cbrnycc2006-25) Ticket sales for Sunday were suspended.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-cbrnyccsuspends2006-26) Reed announced that additional space would be acquired for the 2007 show. The second con was held in [2007](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_comics "2007 in comics"), with the convention organizer booking double the floor space than the previous year's space, and moving to the upper level of the Javits Center.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-icv2nycc07-27) The show on Friday was again only open to industry and press until 4 p.m., when it opened to the public.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-fct2007-28) Due to better planning, advance ticket sales were controlled, and the convention sold out for Saturday.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-29) Lines started forming at midnight Saturday to enter the convention, and by Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour wait in 20 degree temperatures to enter.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-30) Crowding was a problem in the Artists Alley, which was off the main convention floor, causing it to be moved to the main floor for 2008.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwnycc08-31) The [American Anime Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anime_Awards "American Anime Awards"), hosted by New York Comic Con, was held on February 24 at the [New Yorker Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorker_Hotel "New Yorker Hotel"), during the Comic Con.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-32) The third con held in [2008](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_in_comics "2008 in comics") moved to April, continued to grow (expanding space by 50%), and occupied most of the main level in the Javits Center.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwnycc08-31) Stan Lee was awarded the inaugural New York Comics Legend Award at the [Times Square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square "Times Square") [Virgin Megastore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Megastores "Virgin Megastores") before the Comic Con.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-33) Kids' Day programming was added to the convention on Sunday with the help of Kids's Comic Con.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-34)[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-35) The fourth con held in [2009](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_in_comics "2009 in comics") returned to February and featured a charity art auction to support [The Hero Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_Initiative "The Hero Initiative").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-36) Due to scheduling conflicts with the Javits Center for spring dates and the creation of the [Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Comic_%26_Entertainment_Expo "Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo") by Reed, New York Comic Con was moved to October for [Halloween](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween "Halloween") starting in [2010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_in_comics "2010 in comics").[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-37) The New York Anime Festival, previously a separate event created by Reed, was also merged into Comic Con.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-mangaabout-38) Registration for the combined events was 190 percent ahead of 2009's numbers, convention space was increased by an additional 40 percent, and the anime festival was moved to the lower level of the Javits.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-pwcomicconback-3) The main floor of the convention center was split by a large construction area due to repairs to the Javits Center.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] [Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge – New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Extreme_Masters "Intel Extreme Masters") took place in Comic Con [2011](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_in_comics "2011 in comics"). It featured [esports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esports "Esports") tournaments for games such as [StarCraft II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft_II:_Wings_of_Liberty "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty"), [League of Legends](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Legends "League of Legends"), and [Counter-Strike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike "Counter-Strike").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-39) In 2011, the convention was expanded to four days. The first day of the convention was initially limited to press, professionals, and fans that purchased a four-day pass. This changed in 2013, when single day Thursday passes were put on sale for the first time. With this addition, attendance at New York Comic Con grew to over 151,000, surpassing SDCC to become the largest comic convention in North America. The latter was unable to grow further due to venue capacity limits and an attendance cap of 130,000.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-comicbook.com-40) In 2016, it was announced that everyone attending NYCC 2016 would be required to complete a "Fan Verification" profile. The event organizers explained that this step was implemented in an attempt to reduce the number of scalpers and resellers who purchase tickets. Fan Verification would only be open from May 20 - June 14, and tickets purchased could only be assigned to someone with a profile. It was also announced that NYCC would no longer be selling VIP tickets, and that show tickets would not be sold at any retailers or events leading up to NYCC 2016.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-41) In 2017, the sale of 3-day and 4-day passes to the event were discontinued. Only single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday kids tickets would be sold for the event.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-42) In 2018, the event organizers announced a partnership with [Anime Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_Expo "Anime Expo") for show called Anime Fest @ NYCC X Anime Expo.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-43) In 2019, the sale of 4-day badge returned along with the single day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Kids Tickets, would be sold for the event once again, but the 3-day tickets were still discontinued. The convention's 2020 show was originally scheduled for October 8–11. However, in August, the event's organizers announced the cancellation of their in-person event, due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_New_York_City "COVID-19 pandemic in New York City"). Instead, a virtual event called "New York Comic Con X MCM Comic Con Metaverse" was on those dates. Tickets to the 2020 in-person event had not gone on sale prior to its cancellation.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-44) New York Comic Con returned to the Javits Center in 2021 with an in-person event held on October 7–10. All attendees over the age of 12 were required to show proof of vaccination, and children under 12 had to show a negative coronavirus test result.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Comic_Con#cite_note-45) \| Dates \| Location \| Attendance \| Notable guests \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| February 24–26, 2006 \| [Jacob K.
