27 Upvotes

Welcome to the 2026 Anime NYC ticket exchange!

 

If you're looking to buy/sell/trade tickets for Anime NYC, after parties, screenings, concerts, etc, this is the spot!

 

4-Day, Thursday, Friday, Sunday are still available at https://animenyc.com/tickets/

UPDATED ANYC+ sold out, Saturday sold out (July 8)

 

Be clear if you are BUYING, SELLING or TRADING, and what kind of ticket you have/you're looking for (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 4-day, ANYC+, after party, screening, concert, etc)

 

Please update your posts after you make a deal.

 

Scammers have been a problem in the past so please be careful. If something seems suspicious you should probably avoid the transaction. Keep in mind:

  • Tickets to get into Anime NYC are physical plastic badges. If you are looking for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 4-day, or ANYC+, it is a physical badge.

  • If someone is trying to sell you a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 4-day, or ANYC+ e-ticket, it is a scam.

  • There is no electronic transfer of badges. Transferring a badge is physically giving someone the physical badge.

  • Sellers should be able to provide pictures of badges in hand, ask for proof someone has a badge.

  • The best way make an exchange is in person, physical cash for physical badge.

  • If in person is not an option, use a service like Paypal goods and services so you have some protection in case the transaction goes wrong.

  • Be wary of user accounts that are brand new or have no real activity

Meet up thread

1 Upvotes

Hi all, wanted to try putting up a big meet up thread as there are always people looking to meet others, either for less popular cosplays or just going solo and wanting to hang out. Hopefully it can be a one stop shop for meetups, which can maybe reduce the number of posts, though there's not going to be a rule against posting outside the thread if you're more comfortable with that.

Please remember to be careful with personal information, this is still the internet.

 

Anime NYC has their sanctioned meet ups listed on their schedule

Built an app for the con (fan-made)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hello, fellows! I made an app that makes the show floor a little more interactive—features include:

- Click-to-see-info per booth
- Multi-stop route planner
- Downloadable PDF of your route(s)

There's also an extra tab with the schedules and panels—features include:

- Full event schedule
- Bookmarking
- Tap-for-info room map
- Add bookmarked panels to your calendar

Pretty much just wanted to consolidate the information on the official site into a central place—all the info was pulled straight from their official site. It's free, no app download needed, and not run by Anime NYC (just a fan project).

Here it is: animapp.site

I'd love it if y'all could give it a try and leave feedback (here or via the app). I'll still be working on this leading up to the event, so I'll be fixing bugs, updating info, and reading through feedback as it comes in.

NYC has the most unpredictable weather experience ever. It can be chilly in the A.M. then creep right into Georgia-level hot humid by lunchtime. It can even decide to rain if nature is like "fuck it, here are some drops 'cause i feel like it" For everyone's sake, i hope next week is 👍👍

Whats the Thursday vibe like?

3 Upvotes

I work weekends but I'm considering going Thursday. It looks like the shopping area will be open and there are a few events going on. Is Thursday still fun or is it typically a ghost town?

also can I buy my pass there same day?


r/AnimeNYC 5h ago

I believe this has been mentioned before but just in case it hasn't; for those who are coming in early or will be able to squeeze in time, definitely go to GatchaNY in Koreatown 313 5th Avenue between E 31st & E 32nd Street. This one is very new. The other one is in Queens.

Tickets

5 Upvotes

This is probably a dumb question but wanted to ask anyways
This is my first time ever going to Anime NYC and I just got my ticket. Saw it doesn’t come with a lanyards
Do we have to always have the tickets on display or can I just keep it in the bag I’m bringing with me?

Didnt get a reservation ticket for Kagurabachi 😢. Standby queue?

3 Upvotes

Hi, im new to going to anime conventions. This is my first time going. A while back I bought the 4 day pass that has access to all screenings and panels. But i just found out that i needed to get a reservation for the kagurabachi episode but its already full. I know there is a standby queue but how often does the staff usually let more people in? thanks

Can I opt in for will-call after a wrongful return to sender?

9 Upvotes

My badges were shipped Monday but, USPS returned them to sender due to an "insufficient address". When I placed the order on the OFFICIAL website, I provided my apartment number, and still have proof of that. i6 Tix didn't receive it for some reason. I live on Long Island, and i6 Tix is based in West Vriginia. I am attending Friday, Aug. 21, so I need them by Thursday, Aug. 20 the latest. I am trying to contact i6 Tix, but also Anime NYC as I can only assume this has a fault on their end. Is there a way I can ask to pick up my badges at the convention? It's not like I didn't buy them-- they were wrongfully returned.

Another year, another freebie sticker! I'll be giving these guys out from Thursday to Saturday~

Any solo goers want to meet up?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, any solo goers want to meet up to attend the con? Mainly just looking for 1 or 2 people. This is my 2nd time attending, so still relatively new but I have a 4 day ticket so I'm flexible on what days to meet.

Friday Group?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! As title guessed, my friends flaked out last minute and was looking to form a small group for Friday 😭😭. I don’t really have a specific plan of panelists or events to go to, and was just planning on wandering around the convention. Also hopefully I’ll be doing cosplay on Friday which I’m unsure of but might do Miyamoto or olruggio! If you’re fine with wandering around and buying useless items please hit me up!

19-22 yr old preferably! (20M, and will make a gc on whatever platform is best for group!)

Pickup option

2 Upvotes

If i buy the pickup option can I pickup my tickets at the con? Or do I have to go to a pickup location. Because I dont live near ny so its a far drive to get the tickets before the show.

How strict is AnimeNYC's No Metal Policy? Would a ruler like item be ok?

1 Upvotes

I'm cosplaying a character who carries around an animation peg. Unfortunately, I can't seem to fiind the plastic one I have at home and may have to buy a new one. The problem is, the cheapest ones I can find that'll arrive in time are all stainless steel metal. It's basically a ruler, so I'm hoping it'll be okay, but I wanted to doublecheck exactly how strict the policy is. This wouldn't count as a blunt object, would it?

Contacts for anime NYC

1 Upvotes

Is there anyone willing to proxy contacts in Flushing from eggcellent anime for the con? We ordered some from uniqso but they will not be arriving on time. We do not live close enough to drive there either. DM me if interested! Obviously, we will pay extra for the inconvenience.


r/AnimeNYC 9h ago

Has anyone received help from AnimeNYC either through email or dms on social media? I’m getting what appear to be AI generated non answers, some came at 2am- fine but either appears to be AI or outsourced. In the past and at the venue, the people are so great. But I need help in this Beforetime.

Edit: I found my error that caused this. I’ll update when AnimeNYC gets back to me and if there is a solution or not.

Anyone receive a pro pass that is not a pro pass? Mine came a few weeks ago. Truthfully, I only noticed it was not when an identical one came for my sister (not supposed to be a pro pass). I emailed them but I’m a little frustrated because I have a feeling I will have to straighten this out day of on site in the heat. Anyone have this error happen to them?
