Tickets for New York Comic Con went on pre-sale Saturday morning and, as expected, hopeful attendees were more than a little happy about it.
“To everyone who is trying to get tickets today #NYCC… may the Force be with us,” one person of the scores stuck in the “waiting room” to purchase tickets tweeted.
New York Comic Con is the East Coast’s biggest and most exciting popular culture convention and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City. New York Comic Con attracted over 185,000 Fans in 2016 and the same turnout is expected this year.
The event plays host to the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies and television. Their panels and autograph sessions give fans a chance to interact with their favorite creators, and their screening rooms feature sneak peeks at films and television shows months before they hit big and small screens.
New York Comic Con will be held Oct. 5-8, 2017.
Here are but a few memes from the anxious NYCC devotees:
