If you have already attended a Fanatics Fest, then you already know what it is. For those considering attending Fanatics Fest NYC or curious what Fanatics Fest is, I’m here to break it down for you. If you are a sports or sports culture fan, then Fanatics Fest is for you. Fanatics Fest can be said to serve three functions.
First, Fanatics Fest brings in panels, autograph sessions, and photo ops with some of the biggest sports personalities (Note some autograph and photo op sessions are paid sessions). Names like Jeter, Brady, Durant, Ionescu, the Mannings, and more telling their sports stories that you will likely not hear anywhere else.
Second, Fanatics Fest is also an immersive experience, step onto the court, into the ring, or onto the field to show off you skills with the NFL, NBA, WNBA, UFC, WWE, MLB, NHL, MLS, and more!
Third, if you are into collectibles, there will be dealers, drops, and showcases from all the brands.

How to maximize your experience for Fanatics Fest NYC
Im always a fan of premium passes such as the Fanatics Fest NYC Premium Gold or Platinum packages. It provides VIP access, lounge access, reserved seating, and skip the line passes. It takes the stress out of fighting lines and crowds.
The make the experience even less stressful, I would book the Fanatics Fest with a hotel package. This makes it a seamless experience. All you need to do is get to New York. You don’t have to worry about booking tickets and hotel separately. I can assist in creating a package with premium experience along with a hotel stay for the duration.
To maximize the experience, I would arrive Thursday, this gives you time to settle in, and get ready for the next day. You can either choose to checkout Sunday or Monday, to allow you to maximize your time at Fanatics Fest NYC.
If you are a sports fan, this is one of those experiences that allows you to get up close and personal with the athletes. I wish I would have been able to experience this as a kid, but I can experience it today, as an adult.
