First timer here! My wife and I are bringing our daughter to Broadway Con in January, and our little girl is going to lose her mind! 

I'm wondering - do the day passes ever sell out? We're just looking for the basic $80 day pass, not the gold or platinum one. We're not planning on waiting too long to buy, just want to make sure we don't get shut out early on!

Thanks for any help!

I would think it's unlikely based on the past - but this year is in a different venue than the past two, and the last time it was here it was the first year of the convention, so not a great indicator of what now may be like.

In short, since you have solid plans to come, I would buy soon just so it's not a concern.

The only passes that seem to sell out are the Platinum passes because they sell so few. I think at the last one you may have been able to buy day passes the day of. That said, if you want a chance to possibly get in on autograph or photo booth sessions, I wouldn't buy them after November. I forget when they opened up the lottery system for that, but it isn't something you can just show up to day of. If that isn't of importance, then you will be fine buying whenever.

Thank you! We aren't planning on waiting too long (not much more than a few weeks), but wanted to make sure we didn't need to act, like, yesterday.

You should be good -- I think if they were in danger of selling out soon or anything, they also would send out reminders/alerts. Hope you and your daughter have a blast!

Platinum are sold out (they were gone immediately in the pre-sale) I went last year and bought my passes the week of Thanksgiving. They had a discount code that was like 25% or 30% off so honestly I would wait for that. They do say when they're running out too. People also buy the passes at the gate.

 

My first year of BroadwayCon was last year, and that was one of the best days of my life TBH. So much fun, and so many memories!

This year it's at the same venue it was at for year one, and the Hilton is definitely smaller than the Javits. I'm wondering if it'll show up on Goldstar or some other discount site again. I've gone to all of them, but forgot to buy when they had early-bird pricing.

Does anyone know when they will release the full schedule of the panels and full list of guests? The planner in me is itching to make my schedule!

I think they only release the tentative 1 about a month or 2 before, with major changes happening along the way. You can't go into the release date of it and assume that is all the programming.
