Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I have received an open container ticket in NYC. I forgot about it and realized I am two weeks past my summons date. I know there is probably a bench warrant, but will the fine go up as well? I am miserably broke and unemployed.

Take care of it immediately. Usually in New York City there will be no extra penalty for missing the first appearance. You might even get an ACD and not pay any fine.
