This must be your lucky day. Or to be exact, your lucky days will be from October 3 through October 7 (not during NYCC itself, alas), when ReedPOP, Chevrolet and Uber join forces to give people heading to New York Super Week events free rides. All you have to do is open your Uber app, enter a promo code and request a ‘COMIC CAR’ and one will arrive to take you where you need to be.
You should be able to tell what they look like too, since Chevy is wrapping nine of its vehicles in graphics that feature characters from BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, Image, Valiant and IDW comics. Plus fans who ride in the New York Super Week Chevy Tahoe will be able to win prizes like NYCC and New York Super Week t-shirts, tickets to New York Super Week events and more.
“This is the first year that we’re bringing New York Comic Con out of the Javits Center with New York Super Week and this partnership will allows fans to get to where they need to be throughout New York City,” Larry Settembrini, Director of Strategic Accounts for ReedPOP, said in a press release. “Having some of the biggest brands custom wrap these Chevrolet cars will truly let everyone know that New York Comic Con is here and add another layer of pop culture to the week!”
There you go, we helped solve a problem for you. Thank us at NYCC if you run into us.
