BADGE MAILINGS (BEGIN IN JULY)

WHO NEEDS A BADGE?
All attendees six-years-old and up need a badge for Anime NYC. We recommend all children under 18 attend with an adult, and all children under 13 must have an adult with them while attending.
The QR code is not an entry ticket and is not valid for entry by itself. The physical badge is required for entry to the show.
BADGE POLICY
All badge sales are final, with no refunds or cancellations. Badges are subject to New York's 8.875% sales tax and applicable postage or pickup fee. Upgrades are available only on an as-available basis. Separate badges may need to be purchased for certain events.
Please note all guests are subject to cancellation or schedule changes due to professional commitments and refunds will not be issued because of a change to a guest's schedule. Up-to-date schedule changes will be posted on the website and social media channels during the show should any arise.
A NOTE ABOUT AUTOGRAPHS AND PANEL SESSIONS
Anime NYC's guests generally spend time signing autographs and doing Q&A sessions with fans.
A badge does not guarantee access to an autograph or panel session. No refunds will be issued if autographs or panels are at capacity.
HARASSMENT
Anime NYC is committed to fostering an atmosphere where attendees can count on a safe, inclusive, and rewarding experience, and harassment is the opposite of the community we want to create. Any conduct designed to harass, provoke, or intimidate isn't allowed and can lead to your removal from Anime NYC. If you feel harassed or see harassment, please report it to a member of our security team. Harassment of any kind is unwelcome at Anime NYC.
SCALPERS
Don't try to scalp badges. Any and all scalpers we identify will have their orders canceled and badges voided.
REFUNDS
All badge and ticket sales are final, and Anime NYC offers no refunds or cancellations.
