Will the GoH have their own stuff that they will sign, or will we have to bring whatever we want signed?
Also, is there an opportunity to have a picture taken with the whole group?

@Tofu: They may or may not have their own posters. This has been up to the discretion of the GoH and their management in the past.

Every GoH will attend a "party" for our passport holders, so you should definitely have an opportunity to take a photo with them all.

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!

I really do hope that we can take pics with them!

I cannot give you the $35.00 or $40.00 price if you are paying at the convention because everyone will be set up to accept the same at-con convention price.

Also for line wait, expect at least more than 90 minutes.

i had my friend sent you an email for a paypal invoice request. thanks!

@ZeroN: I got the request and have sent out the $70.00 paypal invoice to the email address indicated.

Just wanted to let you all know that SCANDAL will be having the following events: Concert, Panel, Autograph Session, and Meet/Greet "Party."

From what I have heard, they want to be able to sign an autograph for all of their fans, unless it gets too overwhelming.

So it looks like my friend and I will only be purchasing a one day pass since I have school on a Friday and she has school on a Saturday that week...I wanted to go see both Kanons too. Oh well atleast I get to see SCANDAL. ^^

@UKSGirl: Can we get a discount on the one day passes too?

@KoiMoyou: Sorry... I'm not able to adjust pricing on the 1 and 2 day passes right now because the push is to sell the 3-day passes. You can purchase the 1-day passes from our website for $25.00.

@shuythuyshuy will they be able to sign all of my 8 unopened albums? haha

@UKSGirl Alright. Thanks anyway.

Wow this all sounds so good. I hope it all pulls through. Do you happen to know if this will all be on Sunday?

Yes all of those events are going to be on Sunday. I have the master schedule with me right now, but we can't release that yet due to unannounced items and things being moved around.

Just a tip. For SCANDAL events, plan to be there from early morning until late evening.

@shuythuyshuy: Are we allow to take pictures or film during the concert? and can you release the schedule for day 0? So we can know when to pick up our badges.

@Night Speed: Tentatively we will open the registration area for 3-7 PM on June 30th for you to pick up your badges.

Most likely you will not be able to take pictures/film during the concert, but that is up to scandal and their management if they are going to use it as promotional material.

Thank you for all the great updates and tips! Sunday July 3rd will definitely looks like it will be a day that will be remembered forever.

My only concern is that the scheduling won't be like what I've seen at other cons where all of a guest's sessions are scheduled back-to-back, penalizing the attendees of one event by preventing them from getting in line for the next event. I'm sure it's scheduled as best as was possible, but this always annoys me at cons.

I also hope the band gets LOTS of rest before Colors and AM2. I'm sure they'll give their all, and they'll need all the rest they can get.

@Mercurius: To address your concern, I think some may be back to back, but we WILL NOT allow attendees to line up for an autograph session without attending the guest's panel. It is very disrespectful to the guest when their panel is mostly empty because all of the attendees have gone to line up for their autograph session. As far as I know, everyone who attends their panel will get a ticket. Then out of everyone with tickets, passport holders will get their autographs first.

@USG: That is an ingenious yet common-sense approach! I definitely agree it's disrespectful to the guests, and I always felt bad when their panels were empty, but then almost every con attendee gets in line for an autograph when most of them don't even know who the guest is.

Thanks again for all the clarifications and reassurances! You are doing an amazing job peeling back years of bad con experiences.

Passport get!

So, does that mean that it is required to have a ticket to lineup for the autograph session?
Also, will those with a ticket are guaranteed to meet them at the autograph session?

The ticket system is one of the plans that we are thinking about, but I can tell you that we won't allow people to line up for the autograph session without attending their panel.

Also, with the length of that their band and management has alloted for us for autograph session shows us that they are serious about meeting everyone, so I'm sure if you attend their panel + have a passport, you should be able to see them. Also there is the Meet and greet session on the same day in addition to the autograph session.

okay thanks for the info USG. wow the way you make it sound, wow makes me even more excited okay well i would have visited the panel first cause it's my first time to a con and i would like to check everything out and get that experience. so even if i didn't know about that i would have visited the panel anyway cause it would be pretty cool.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a panel? I've never been to a con like this so, yeah. lol

The guests sit in the front of the room and talk about any recent news regarding themselves like releases, happenings, etc. and after, people that attend the panel will have access to a microphone where they can ask the guests questions for them to answer.
