What is Fan Verification?
Fan Verification helps real fans get tickets to New York Comic Con. Creating a Fan Ver profile with the same email that you used to purchase tickets (or the email used to assign your ticket to you!) ensures that you have easy access to future Fan Ver Presales. It also helps us cater your NYCC experience to what you enjoy doing at the show!
How to Create a Profile
How does Fan Verification work and how do I create a profile?
The process is super simple! Follow these steps and you’ll be on your way.
Step 1: Create your profile
By creating a Fan Verification profile, you are telling us that you’re a real fan of NYCC. You’ll want to fill out the application accurately, so take your time and proofread to make sure there are no typos in your email address. Create a profile now.
One Important Note:
- Not sure if you're purchasing NYCC tickets for kids ages 6-12? We suggest marketing that you ARE and the amount you might be purchasing for just in case. If you click NO to this step, you'll be unable to buy an adult ticket for kids at any time.
Step 2: Wait for your confirmation email
You’ll get an email to the email address you signed up for your Fan Ver profile letting you know we received your application. Remember, this is now the email address you’ll be using to log into My Tickets. You won’t be able to log in with another email so make sure you’re using the right one!
Assigning Tickets
When buying tickets for NYCC, you'll be required to assign each individual ticket during checkout. You will not be able to complete your purchase until all your tickets are assigned to yourself and anyone you are buying for.
If the person you're buying for has a Fan Ver profile, great! Use that email address to assign the ticket to them. Double check that the email address you are entering is correct. If they have a profile, then they’ll be able log into their My Tickets to accept the tickets.
If they don’t have a Fan Ver profile, no worries! Assign the ticket to their email address and they can create a Fan Verification profile once applications open. Make sure they Fan Verify with the email you used to assign them a ticket!
Managing Tickets
After you purchase or are assigned to tickets, you can manage your NYCC tickets directly in My Tickets! Make sure to accept the transfer of any tickets assigned to you so you can link your ticket to your Fan Ver profile.
Having issues accepting tickets in My Tickets?
It might be because you’re trying to accept a ticket for a day you already have a ticket for. Meaning if you bought yourself a Sunday ticket and friend is trying to assign you to a 4-Day ticket, you’ll receive an error because you already have a ticket for Sunday. You would need to either transfer your Sunday ticket to someone else to accept a 4-Day ticket or decline the transfer of the 4-Day ticket.
Editing and Viewing your Transferred Tickets
In My Tickets you'll see a section called My Transfers. This is where you'll find transfers you've accepted (meaning someone assigned you to a ticket and you accepted it) or transfers you've sent to your friends (you've assigned someone to a ticket, and they've accepted or declined it).
You can click EDIT or VIEW to see the details for each transfer. The transfer history will appear, and you'll be able to resend a transfer to remind a friend to accept it or cancel a transfer if you accidentally sent it to the wrong email.
When you click TRANSFER ITEMS, you'll be brought to a page where you can add your friend's email address. You'll only do this if a friend you bought the ticket for didn't accept your transfer because they can no longer attend, and you want to give the ticket to another friend.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you transfer a ticket and the other person accepts it, they are now the owner of that ticket virtually. This means you no longer have the ability to transfer that ticket to anyone else. The new owner would have to transfer it in My Tickets if that’s needed. The physical ticket will still ship to the mailing address on your order or will be listed under your name and email at Will Call.
How do I know if my transfer went through?
You'll get an email from ShowClix.
Make sure to assemble your Avengers and stay on top of any transfers so that your friends are accepting or declining them as necessary.
Accepting Tickets
If a friend was able to buy tickets for you and assign them to your email, this is for you!
If you have a Fan Verification profile, you’ll receive an email telling you that someone transferred tickets to you. Click the ‘View Transfer’ link in your email to login to My Tickets hub and accept the ticket(s).
If you don’t have a profile with us, you’ll need to create one first before accepting the ticket(s). You’ll receive an email telling you that someone transferred tickets to you. Once My Tickets opens, you can click the ‘View Transfer’ link in your email, and it will prompt you to create a Fan Ver profile. Fill out the application to accept your tickets. If you don't create a profile and accept the tickets assigned to you, your ticket will just sit in limbo, and you won’t have access to the NYCC 2025 Fan Ver Ticket Presale or any of the extra cool stuff we got goin’ on at NYCC.
