Summary
Fanatics Fest opens its third edition at New York’s Javits Center with a four-day run for the first time, adding 25% more floor space as it targets 200,000 ticketholders.
The expanded format leans on 400 superstar appearances across major sports, live podcasts and panels, plus paid autograph and photo sessions beyond base ticket prices of $81.54 on most days and $93.19 on Saturday.
LeBron James, Roger Goodell, Jalen Brunson, Aaron Judge, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Tom Brady headline a schedule built around potential newsmaking moments, after Kevin Durant trade news broke live at last year’s event.
Sunday’s World Cup final at MetLife Stadium gives the festival an added draw, with FIFA staging its official final press conference at the convention and Fanatics programming a live watch event for Spain vs. Argentina.
