Once inside South Hall and other Convention Center property, there's specific union rules that prohibit the use of such things as hand trucks or dollies or the like. However, outside of South Hall is public property, without such restrictions. You will be able to use them to transport things to the front of South Hall, but not inside it.Quote from: Hachimitsu-ink on February 09, 2017, 02:56:33 PMQuote from: abcbadcat on February 09, 2017, 09:59:26 AM
I remember two years ago we weren't able to bring it wheeled carts, will that still be the case?
hey wait a second.. I remember two years ago people DID bring wheel like carts into the set!.. and it's only allowed as long as it doesnt block traffic to those who walk in....!!!!
I'm sure Zelyhon will post all the official rules (soon?) but from my experience with swap meet, hand trucks, dollies and the like are not permitted INSIDE South Hall or any other Fanime venue.
BUT the sidewalk leading to South Hall is a public throughway. It shouldn't be a problem using carts to transport your stuff up to the doors, but once you're checked in you're supposed to bring everything in by hand. I kept trying to find clever ways to transport stuff on wheeled luggage, lots of rope and straps. Anything to technically not violate the union rules that are the root of all these concerns. But after hearing that all that stuff is fine until you hit the threshold, heck, I'm going for a furniture dolly to push all my used manga right up to the doors.
And I will have the official rules up once they pass through the final reviews that are taking place.
I thought this was true until I saw literally 3 people in front of me go in with hand trucks. Are these not being enforced at the time or how can I report it?
