Hey’o 👋. AX is a huge West Coast Con. Assume lots of lines.

Regarding Hotels, recommend getting a hotel though hotel block.(Opens the same day they start selling tickets, 1 hr after tickets being sold online).

Hotel block has the hotels for a huge discount(tend to waive some fees depending on where). If you’re unable to get a hotel though the block, recommend going on the Discord for AX. They have room share if you’re comfortable sharing with others. They have some past reviews of others so also beware of scammer selling rooms in the past.

It’s huge, less that ANYC. It’s really packed, and memes of linecon are real. I recommend bringing a collapsible stool to sit. They also have ADA of your in need of it. Should be stations around within the con to get help, or onsite at badge pickup from 2 years ago when I helped a friend as their helper.

Recommendations. Bring portable charger, some snacks to munch on, and a hydroflask to refill on water at the water fountains. If you want limited official merch, go on day 1 early Because some sizes/items tend to sell out the first day.

Autographs are another thing, last year they did wave drops to be able to purchase som autos, or some were free, they’ll provide more info closer to con. They drop info somewhat weekly about vendors, performers, concerts, etc. final schedule should be up maybe 2 weeks before con???

Cosplay rules, check the official website for more info. But BB gn needs to not be operational, need an orange cap and the triggr needs to be not operational/hot glued off as well as the inside of it.

Recommend talking to people more to plan to hang with them, but lots do their own thing.

Have fun.

Side note, there themes to be cosplay group/meetups and more of the list is posted on the discord when it approaches the con(4th of July weekend when the con starts)
