lol I often wondered what's with the Matsuri name for a COSPLAY event. Now that they also have an event in August I wonder if there are people new to this who will be confused.

haha... or see people in the train whispering to each other on "why are there so many kimono[sic] girls?"

If I am not wrong and according to last year, advance tickets are $10 with a $4 food portion and $6 games stall portion. These are only available to JAS members and are very hard to obtain. The tickets sold on that day are day tickets which have only the games stall portion at $6.

Though the thing is, I went in without tickets last year after queueing up for 3 hrs ++ when they just let everyone in when it all sold out T.T

Quite a number of the stalls do accept cash though, so at least you can try/buy something there.

Yukata rentals were also available at $2.50 if I am not wrong (for cleaning fee), but don't expect to get hold of these coz they will be all snapped up...

PS: anyone with advance tickets lobang pls do share around
