New City Comicon Report

Attendance at New York Comic Con, which wrapped up Sunday, topped 95,000, according to Reed Group Vice President Lance Fensterman, with the caveat that the number could go up once all sales by retailers were tallied. All areas of the show were extremely busy, including the main show floor, the show floor that included Artists Alley, the Anime Artists Alley, the panel rooms, and traffic areas. Press attendance topped 2900, according to Fensterman, up 60% from last year’s 1800.

It sold out of single admission tickets for Saturday, October 9th, though single-day tickets still remained for Friday and Sunday, and a limited number of 3-day passes for the entire weekend show were available.
