New York Comic Con is rapidly developing into a delirious East Coast roughhouse fan slam of a pop culture scrum -- so let's see how they handle ticket sales. For everyone serious about going to the gym AND getting a head start on their 2012, 4-day NYCC tickets go on-sale TODAY at noon EST. A four-day pass is $85 -- a price which holds until 10/8, when it goes up to $100. The PR release makes note of a couple of things -- there will be more programming on Thursday. Everyone noted that the "pro" panels were pretty thin that day so maybe those will be increased. The show floor is also opening earlier on Thursday -- 3 pm to 9 pm.

The show will run from October 13-16, with Thursday a day for academic programming, beginning at noon, and a "Preview Night" running from 4-7. Only 10,000 tickets will be sold for all four days -- nearly 100,000 people attended the 2010 show, according to show runner Lance Fensterman.
