8 Great Perks They Should Keep For NYCC 2018

One of the most bothersome aspects of a large-scale event is waiting in line with no guarantee of an available seat. Officials reduced the hassle this year by implementing a tap-in process to secure a spot for the popular Main Stage presentations.

Several new towers decorated the busy floor but they were helpful instead of being hindrances. The ever popular exhibitor booths, which hold everything from manga to superhero-related fine art, were less hectic thanks to the tap-in towers. Customers could buy products without worrying about rushing to crowded rooms to see their favorite celebrities and artists. The clever perk allowed them to virtually save a seat at the Main Stage with their badge. They could enjoy other activities until they received a text to head back to the panel.

Overall, the technique possesses a few other attributes that will continue to be valuable in successive years. Due to ground-breaking RFID technology, each badge had a personalized microchip to identify each individual. This cut down on the amount of deceptive counterfeit badges by a significant margin and refined the security process for all four buildings.

Aside from Main Stage advantages, there were NYCC XP towers that rewarded select fans who chose to partake in the tap-in system. The gifts were amazing takeaways for Comic Con visitors in particular: high-caliber Hasbro lightsabers, Walking Dead apparel, and quality action figures.

By altering access to the Main Stage, organizers reduced the likelihood that fans would move about like tired zombies in the energetic convention.
