/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

If anyone wants to read ramblings of how or why behind this:

- Aniplex is bringing some of the bigger and ONLY JP guests of the con.

- Aniplex knows they WILL hit capacity no matter what. Demand outstrips supply, there is no fair way to distribute the tickets no matter what route they choose. This is the easiest and costs least amount of man hours between them AND attendees.

- Addressing the issue of past years where people would line up hours and hours in advance...only to make it to the front and be told the room is full. Sometimes it'd be 90% full already from clearing dodgers and Premier fans and the general fans who wasted 4 hours waiting meters from the door are told to leave (ah the Rascal Bunny movie).

- Less staff this year due to COVID policies. Aniplex is not having any volunteer staff who can help organize a super long line for them this year.

- There will be folks on-site who will be upset when they find out you had to have a ticket to get in because "they were never told about it"

- There will be no-shows. Perhaps the panel will let in some standby people. Let the standby line wars commence.
