NEW YORK, May 17 (UPI) -- All people over the age of 12 wishing to attend New York Comic Con in October must fill out online fan profiles before buying tickets, organizers announced Tuesday.
The new procedure is meant to curb the re-sale of tickets at inflated prices. Ticket-buyers may enroll in the fan-verification system from Friday through June 13. Kids who will be ages 6-12 at the time of NYCC 2016 and who will be using a NYCC 2016 adult ticket or Sunday kids ticket do not need to fill out profiles.
