A-kon 08

General Discussion Trunx - Thursday, February 7, 2008 - 05:58

Hey what's up? As you all know if you follow any of the con around you know that A-kon is quickly approaching, and I want to get a table to start promoting my manga. But I'm not sure if I'm going to have the funds to afford the table printing out the comics, and paying for my ticket. So I'm proposing to split a table this year.
If anyone is interested lemme know and we can try and work something out. Hope to be able to help someone and in the process get some help of my own lol. ^_^

I think the tables are

David Doub; Thursday, February 7, 2008 - 17:15

I think the tables are already sold out, so you might want to check on that first.

If you do get a table, let me know and I'll stop by and buy something. I'd help out but I'll be busy working on staff.

David Doub; Thursday, February 7, 2008 - 21:33

It's $50 for a table and currently it's $40 for a 3 day pass. The admission price will go up as we get closer to the convention dates.

Yea...

Tables usually sell out in December. (At least they did last year.) Well, maybe you can hope for someone pulling out at the last minute.

For those of you who don't know, A-Kon is the oldest and most prestegous anime convention outside of Japan. This will be year #19 for them. It's held usually the first weekend of June in Dallas. This year it's May 30-June 1. It's also very crowded (last year saw about 12,000 people attend.)

Kool kool

Trunx; Friday, February 8, 2008 - 03:44

This yeah they're doing something different. I was put on the second pull list for tables, and they're letting people who were there last year have first pick. And then from there it's first come first serve. Oh and the tickets are $40 right now and right now at the a-kon site tables are $65 this year.
Thanx for the support^_^ I'll let ya know if I do get one this year, and last year was crazy, but my wife and I loved it. Hope to see u guys there.
If ya want to see a couple of the characters here's my deviantart page tell me what ya think.

Trunx; Saturday, February 9, 2008 - 03:37

That's a lil expensive. I didn't hear that, and I'm on there message bored. Oh well, but is anyone interested on splitting a table if I can get it?

Re: The stuff I read said there

David Doub; Saturday, February 9, 2008 - 19:13

There's been a change in staff heads for this year, so things are being done a little bit differently.

That old forum for artist alley, that's not on the A-Kon site is not being monitored by anyone in charge.

Also, they're going to try to do a first come first serve method of passing out the tables (so their's a fair rotation of what's in artist alley).

If you have specific questions about A-Kon's artist alley, e-mail it to me and I can make sure it gets to the right person.

Well.....

DreamingSoul; Saturday, February 9, 2008 - 20:36

I don't think I'll be able to do this then... Where can I go to rent a table, and purchase a ticket?

To purchase a ticket, simply

quamp; Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 12:26

To purchase a ticket, simply go to their site. They also usually have them available the day of the show, but I've heard rumors that they're going to stop taking walk-ins due to overcrowding.
You might try to see if you can get a table for A-Kon 2009, but usually they don't open that up until after the con is over.

Re: To purchase a ticket, simply

David Doub; Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 15:01

Nope, that's wrong Chris. A-Kon is allowing walk-ins. That is a totally false rumor. And that's how rumors gain weight by people repeating them without all the facts.

Trunx; Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 18:35

Yeah. Cause why would they stop the walkins? At points that's how they get alot of money. I dunno just saying lol. since I was there last year and it seemed that the walkin line was way longer then the line for the people the pre ordered.

Thank you for the information! I got really disheartened about ever getting a table in Akon's artist alley when I was looking and got so confused. v_v

DreamingSoul; Thursday, March 13, 2008 - 19:16

Actually a friend of mine made me aware of the bus route I can take to get there, but my biggest problem is... my family... And come to think of it I won't be able to go because I work on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays... So Nvm, but thanks anyway...
