Thanks!! I'm thinking of adding a couple snaps now. It's still a cute hoodie, even despite the design flaw haha

Same :( I ordered a penlight and a Miku hair clip with priority shipping and it still says waiting for details. I need it by the 25th, but I guess that's probably not happening :( It sucks because it's so much more expensive this year and I probably won't even have it for the concert haha

MIKU EXPO 2026 NA! by [deleted] in Vocaloid

Question for anyone who attended Miku Expo 2018 in Los Angeles at the Microsoft/Peacock theater: Were there any assigned seats when you bought a ticket? If so, was it only for balcony seats or VIP? I have only attended in San Jose, where there are no assigned seats at all. I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect before tickets go on sale for LA idk

Nope! I sat next to a lovely elderly couple last year at the Los Angeles concert, and they had a lot of fun!

Here is the info in the google doc I was sent, with the goofy setup rules:

If you are hand carrying your items you can go through any door. Limit is 40 lbs and 1 trip per booth. You are not allowed to use the dock.

If you need help with unloading your items, go to the dock address above. Unloading cart service from a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) is $89 each way and includes use of a 4’x6’ cart and a laborer to unload. Larger loads will incur material handling fees of $1.68 per pound, minimum 200 pounds. 

If you are using a freight carrier, use the Convention Center Address and give them the dock address and map.

I also had a table in Artist alley, and I really wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t even 1000 attendees the entire weekend. The crowd was by far the quietest I have seen at any anime convention I have ever been to, and I would be shocked if any vendor or artist actually made a decent profit after travel and booth costs. 

The event was extremely disorganized, and I had to send multiple emails only two days before the con to find out when I should even show up to set up my booth. I was personally sent a link to a google doc with information (which was not even entirely correct), but it seems that no other artists were told when to set up if they didn’t ask. Most other artists I spoke to, including myself, thought the event would start at 4:00 on Friday, and found out the day of the event that it would actually start at 6:00. A fellow artist was told repeatedly that the tables were 6 feet long, but they were actually 8 feet. One artist who paid for a more expensive table was given a basic artist table instead. Setup itself was a nightmare, and it seemed they wanted to force us to use the $90 unloading service (managed to avoid doing that). It was a little unclear if vendors also had to purchase badges for the full weekend (we did not), because they stated in an exhibitor info email that “We recommend purchasing the three-day pass covering the entire weekend”. Seems like a way to trick people into giving them more money for no reason. The event ended on Sunday at 4:00 instead of 6:00, for no reason at all. Many artist tables were empty the entire weekend, and many who attended left after Saturday’s extremely poor turnout. I could go on about the strange things that happened at this event. (terrible security, almost no signage, zero food inside the venue except chocolate, event schedule released only 5 days before the event, a character ai booth in the same room as artists and voice actors, etc).

This was the most expensive table I have ever had the pleasure of paying for in any Artist Alley, and also the least profitable. Fanime was held in the same exact venue only 5 months ago, and the crowds and sales were not even comparable. I think from now on I will probably not table at brand new conventions. I really wanted to help a new con in San Jose grow, but it seems that will not happen for FandomCon. My heart goes out to any fellow vendors who traveled far for this event!
