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.
