In case you missed it, which means that you are living under a bridge somewhere, New York Comic Con is doing fan verification profiles this year. This is part of their effort to stop the scalpers from gouging ticket prices and keeping fans out in the cold. Will this work? It might. Will it harm fans from getting tickets? Possibly but no more than previous years. What does that mean to you? It means you need to register before you can buy a ticket. It means anyone who wants to attend NYCC must register.
