New York Comic Con Fan Verification
Before we get to see you this year, there’s a big, crucial step for the NYCC General Onsale, and that’s creating a Fan Verification profile! Whether someone purchased tickets for you or you want the chance at scoring yourself some tickets to the geekiest event of the year, this is what you need to do.
FAN VERIFICATION IS NOW OPEN! Create your profile now to buy NYCC 2023 tickets at Create Fan Verification Profile.
What is Fan Verification?
Fan Verification profiles help real fans get tickets to New York Comic Con. If you create your Fan Ver profile prior to the June 18 deadline, you’ll get access to our NYCC 2023 General Onsale and future Fan Ver presales.
Well, well, well, you’ve come to the right place. You need a Fan Verification profile to buy tickets to NYCC 2023. Make yours here, and once your profile is approved, you’ll receive an email with your unique link to buy tickets.
You can create a new Fan Verification profile starting June 12 and participate in the General Onsale on Wednesday, June 21.
The 8-digit code(s) printed in orange on the rear left of your Comic Con 2023 badge must be entered in order to activate your badge. You should activate each badge separately if you have more than one.

Now that you have your badge, make sure you activate it prior to entering the event! Badge Activation is required for NYCC 2023.
By activating your badge and scanning it at NYCC, you’ll unlock special content to make your experience way cooler.
- Reserve your spot for panels, exhibitor exclusives, and private autographing sessions. Please note: to use your reservations, your badge must be activated prior to attending your reservation.
- Stay connected with your favorite exhibitors and creators.
- Play games, win prizes, and compete against other fans
- And more!
Once you receive your physical badge(s) in the mail or from Will Call, you’ll activate it in one of two ways.
If you have a FAN, PRESS, OR PRO badge (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 4-Day, VIP, Kids, Press, Pro Thursday or Pro 4-Day), log into the Fan Ver Hub using the email address you either a) ordered your NYCC tickets with or b) the email address that your badge is transferred/assigned to. Important Note: if you had badges transferred and assigned to your email address, you must accept them in the Fan Ver Hub BEFORE you can activate them.
Looking for the code to activate your badge with? Turn your badge to the backside and use the 8-digit code(s) in the bottom right corner on the back left of the badge(s). If you have multiple badges, you will want to activate each one.
If you have any OTHER badge type (Sidekick, Exhibitor, Artist Alley, Talent, Panelist, etc), you will activate them on a separate activation page.
For Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 4-Day, VIP, Kids, Press, or Pro Ticket Holders:
For Sidekick, Exhibitor, Artist Alley, Guest, Etc. Badge Holders:
WHERE IS MY BADGE ACTIVATION NUMBER?
Your activation number can easily be found on the back of your NYCC 2022 badge. Enter the digits on the bottom left of your badge into the space below and click activate.
How to activate your badge
To help you with activation, we’ve included a walkthrough below of what the process will look like. Follow the steps below for each badge:
Step 1: Go to https://www.showclix.com/my-tickets/login and log into your account using the email address that you either purchased your badge under or were assigned a badge to.
Pro-Tip: Can’t remember the email address or need help changing your password? Use the Forgot your password? Or Need help signing in? links.
Step 2: Click on the “Manage New York Comic Con Profile” button.
Step 3: All of the NYCC badges that are assigned to you will be displayed here. Click on the “Activate Credential” button. If you have multiple badges, you will go through this process for every badge.
Important Note: you should only be activating badges that you want assigned to you. If you have tickets in your account that belong to friends or family members, make sure you transfer the tickets to their email address and have them accept them.
Step 4: Find the 8-digit code in orange on the back left of the badge. Type that 8-digit code into the bar that says, “Credential Activation Number” and click the “Activate” button.
You will receive a confirmation email once you successfully activate the badge.
Pro-Tip: If you didn’t receive the email, check that pesky spam folder. If you’re not sure if it’s been activated properly, there should be a number next to your badge once activated. If you still see the “Activate” button, it has not been activated.
