Anirevo 2019 AMA

[Anonymous No.10152157]

Hey Anons, an Anirevo staff here. Not a volunteer. But an actual staff member.

I've been with AR for awhile now and considering IFF is this weekend, if any of you have any questions for me or the convention i'll be glad to answer them.

But before anything i might aswell clarify some things

This convention is dying. I know. But i am not responsible for the $2000, $5000, and $250 premium passes. They're fucking bullshit and that would be the directors fault.

I have no clue where the money goes, but it costs an estimated $200,000 - $500,000 a year to run the summer con.

Alright. Please ask away!

>it costs an estimated $200,000 - $500,000 a year to run the summer con.

I'm going to call massive bullshit on this. At AR size, summer guest list along with their location it is a substantially higher budget to put on the show.

Source: An anon who is an executive director of a convention similar in scope to AR. Our budget in 2019 is over a million dollars.

You have no idea what you're talking about if you're not looking at the budget sheets. You do not have privy access to by your introduction.

Get the fuck out of here ya bitter twat.

Does AA report how they do at AR, and is there any compliments/complaints you can share from the artists' POV? The tables always seem hella expensive, and I've always wonder if they make profit.

AA anon here whos gone to AR for a few years. I think I'm on the lower but not lowest earners for profit. I usually make around $2K a show. But I have friends who make more at the show for sure.

When I talk to people from the con scene, I know many attendees who boycott AR for various reasons. I worry that by pissing off attendees who then in turn dont show, itll affect everyones bottom line at AA

Dont forget to read the CEOs bizarre biography manga !
