unfairness there

hahhaa my guess would be they thought that the $12 entrance fee would bring us

-first hand choice of certain goods that possibly could have been sold out later on

-cosplaying performances

-look at more cosplayers (some packed up and went home early)

That was my friend who got questioned. It was a personal issue. Someone made a big fuss about a small thing and reported it.

Yah I was there ard 4 and they just opened up the entrance to general public, things were pretty chaotic to say the least. The area outside the hall where the booths were was VERY crowded at that point in time, a lot of people entered to just gawk at the cosplayers or hang around, hard to even walk thru without bumping into someone, reminded me of what happened at this yr's Cosfest.

No comment on the whole EOY in general as I arrived rather late, but I think organizers need to rethink on why they just opened the gates for free at about 4 pm, say the ppl who paid $12 just a little earlier to get into the paid area might not be too happy about it. Its something akin to paying that amt. to watch a movie, then suddenly the usher decide to let ppl in for free to view...if you've paid up already, how would you feel? Secondly I guess that led to surge in crowd levels also, making general crowd control more difficult.

Also I noticed some cosplayers (I won't point out who they are) fooling around with their weapon props (wooden katana and such)...no doubt its not the real thing, but given the crowded conditions and the end is pointed, if swung with enough force it could inadvertently hurt or injure someone, or also damage someone's photographuc equipment. Imagine your $20 katana going through someone's $1000 lens, whose gonna pay for it?

I agreed on point 1 and 2. but 3 isn't so true. I noticed there's cosplayers that come streaming after 2pm.

Envy

yea there were even cosplayers coming in at 4pm

pay $10/2 to get in and towards the end can get in for free? a bit unfair.

emcee could have at least pointed out where the voting booth was located.

booths were poorly arranged. had to walk one big round just to get to our destination.
