Q. about reg. lines and cutoffs....

I am still not sure when i will be arriving to see the an cafe  show. (I will be driving down either SAT. or SUN early am)
My idea is to go to reg. SAT. eve. maybe around 7PM and get the badge and ticket then when hopefully, the lines may be shorter.
My Q is...if lets say the lines are longer than I expected and there are quite a few in front of me (and behind) and I have been waiting an hr. or so. If 8PM comes around before I get to the reg. table...do they just pack up and go, leaving me and maybe 50 other people high and dry, or will they sort of do what supermarket checkers do when they need to go on break...count off a certain amount of people waiting before 8PM and then not let anyone else extend the line..??

Is there anything about this in the rules??

I can't find it.

THANKS!!

ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA!!

To those who tried to answer my Qs ...arigatou...

To BrightHeart:

Wow!  Attitude much?  Seriously, the answers are available both on the home page and in different places in the forums.  If you'd bother to LOOK you'd be able to find them.  If that's simply too much work for you then e-mail the staff in charge.

Do I know the answers to your questions?  Yes.  Am I going to waste my time explaining it to someone who is coming off as a spoiled brat?  No.

Good luck.

No...not all MY questions were answered in the links provided, though some might have been..anyway, just because I wanted a simple clarification and some help, doesn't make me a spoiled brat with an attitude..dude! or...dudette!!

No..that doesn't answer my question!

(1) what does reserved mean? Only that you can pick up ticket on Friday if you punched it the promo code, or are the seating reserved? Also i am ONLY asking about the CONCERT at this time, NOT the other stuff...

(2) I pre-registered  ages ago...I can't remember if i used a an cafe promo code or not...how can I find out?
On my "post-card" printout, it only has my acct. number and personal info..nothing else.

(3) PARKING!!! No one has mentioned how you can park AT the convention center (not the downtown parking) and at what price per day...I know about the links to parking, but the convetion center link says the parking prices are set by the particular event (Fanimecon) so again...how much per day to park?

Oh..to clarify about parking info...

Yes, I did see the link to "downtown parking" but how does that help me?? I don't know the area, how do i know how close the parking is to the con?
Also, the SJ Cn. Center has 1,000 car parking, but the cost is set by the event...

So...where is the info about how much it will be to park at the cnv. center that should be determined by Fanimecon and listed on this website????

The music Fest An Cafe ticket PU sched. says Thurs 6pm-8pm "reserved" tickets, quota "-"...


What does this mean? What is reserved ticket as opposed to a ticket picked up on say, Fri"? 

Can ANYONE with as pre-reg. badge pick up a concert ticket on Thursday, or did you need the An Cafe promo code??? (which I forgot to use when registering)


Also there is no quota for tickets on Thurs. does that mean they will be giving out over 1,000 tickets or more since all the other days quotas equal well under the totla of 3,000...?

I am VERY confused!

I live in San Francisco, but I work, and it would mean traveling down to San Jose and back after a long work day JUST to pick up the concert tickets.

Would I just be better off coming down on Saturday and picking up the badge and ticket then? I am really mainly attending the concert.

Also, about parking...I couldn't find info about parking at the con.  IS there parking? does it cost $$$$. Can you get a special rate for attending, or is it going to cost mega-bucks..?

Info please!

Hello, I am a stupid newbie, never been to an anime convention before...

I used to spend $1,000's of $$$ on anime in the early 90's but got burnt out (and broke) along time a go..(this was before the internet and free downloading)
My main reason for attending is the An Cafe concert..so here are my questions:

When do the booths to pick up the badges (I pre-reg.) open?? I plan to attend SUNDAY ONLY.

What time do you think An Cafe, being the headline band will play? (late afternoon, early eve..etc)

If I want to have a chance on getting in, esp. with good seats (to An Cafe) should I prepare to wait at the Convention Center Hall as soon as the con opens SUN. morning ???

thanks

[Again..bullshit...Can't it be done like a reg. ticket..you know, if I have an extra ticket, or can't go, I have the option to sell it (craigslist etc.) or just give it to someone.To have to e-mail with new personal info is a crock!!When I buy tickets online, they send them to the address on my CC and then I have the ticket in hand.It seems that Fanime won't take the trouble to mail the tickets, or the ability to print online, but makes you have to go to the con, wait on a line for fucken hrs. to get your badge which you already paid half a C note for!!!What do you get for early reg.... 5 freaken bucks off??If I bought my badge in March, I shouldn't have to stress out about having to wait on a line for hrs...and. then poss. wait on ANOTHER line for more hrs. to see An Cafe!!!If An Cafe had any other NoCal venue I wouldn't go through all this crap...even if the ticket cost me $200. ea.!!]

What do you get for early reg.... 5 freaken bucks off??

If I bought my badge in March, I shouldn't have to stress out about having to wait on a line for hrs...

and. then poss. wait on ANOTHER line for more hrs. to see An Cafe!!!

If An Cafe had any other NoCal venue I wouldn't go through all this crap...even if the ticket cost me $200. ea.!!

[Oh...BTW if the person who I bought the pass for (inc myself) couldn't make it, it seems that the passes, unlike tickets, are non-transferable......This is such an unprofessional way to run a convention!!]

[Hmm...I can understand no group passes because of discounts, but the fact I can't buy 2 passes at the same time is a load of crap (hear me Fanimecon!!)What if I just wanted to buy an extra pass/badge but wasn't sure if that person could come, and i wanted to give it to another friend??If you have to have ID that matched the reg. you couldn't do it. What if I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a pass...this is horse shit...]

I am trying to pre-reg but need 2 passes. How can I do this???????????
The reg proccess seems to only allow one pass..I need to get one for a friend!
