I'm a guy studying at MMU. I love radishes and gay porn. And yes i just joined solely to reply on this thread ^^. and I'm not really into tech stuff or gizmos so commenting on lowyat normally was not necessary. But since its an MMU event, my uni, so yea why not say sumthin.

If your a guy with abs like Yamapi and a face like Yamapi I'd be glad to give you more details...Thank you.

Sorry but the second floor WILL NOT be open during the event.

I don't think RM 50 is a steep price to pay for both days. Last year's CF's ticket prices were RM 30 already for two days and I don't see them having any major events like this plus they had even more commercial sponsors than us.

All the earnings we get from the tickets are going fully in to paying for the event itself. The committee isn't earning a single buck from the event and it's more like... OUR WALLETS ALREADY RED FOR PAYING FOR THIS EVENT T.T

comparing yourselves with CF.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR

oh my wallet's pretty blown too. over rm500 for the autograph, camera gear of like 2.3k, and replenishing cards. /cry
bean sprout is prolly spending more than any of us amongst TFM'ers though XD

is it a "Special Performance" or a concert? Daicon states it as the latter.

since i'm not an otaku or an enthusiast (just an ex-anime fan), i find that the ticket price is expensive.

anyway if i can get a glimpse of her on Saturday i'm satisfied, heh.

Not really. Last year's May'n in Singapore's AFA08 was even more expensive. Even to gain entrance to the festival requires tickets (unlike Daicon where entrance is free).

share?

our wallets are also in the RED you know.

woh, i'm not much of a hardcore fan to go all the way to singapore for any anime convention.

besides, note the conversion rate also.

It's a concert. Not as long as others but it's still a concert.

Obviously if you're not an 'otaku' or an enthusiast you'll find the ticket prices are expensive. It's like asking a fujoshi to shell out money to buy some h-doujins (pardon the comparison here), but I think we've set at a reasonable price for those who are REALLY looking forward to join this event.

There is no entrance fee right?

Right?

There's no entrance fee for DaiCon

I did research about the price too. More than MYR 300.

i r diamond pass holder

(sigh, yes, i know, missing day 2)

and yes, its a lil more than that. 150 SGD.
*almost* in the 400 range

hmm...not really a whole MMU event, more accurate to say it is a MMU Cyber event...


don't compare it with SGD to RM currency conversion rate, compare it with standard of living of two country. SGD 118 diamond VIP ticket price which can get autograph from May'n still considered as affordable and reasonable by singaporian who have salary SGD2000 per month...but not for a malaysian with salary RM2000 per month.

And beside of May'N visit, AFA08 also got invite famous gundam designer and King of Anime Songs to the event, and exhibition of Shonen Jump anniversary and well known figure manufacturer in japan...ppl only need to pay SGD 5 or 8 (RM12 or RM19) for the one day/two day entrance and they can watch May'n concert without pay extra fee and standing at the same place as Enthusiast which at behind of ppl who got buy concert ticket...

CF main problem is to rent a venue for the event...but i guess daicon no problem for the venue since the mmu grand hall is more easy to rent by society and maybe free at all. And some budget from STAD and sponsors also can help in organize this event...

Dude, you don't even know the cost of bringing Minori Chihara to Cyberjaya. Even if DaiCon got no problem for venue, kurogane even said about having lesser sponsors compared to the other big stuffs previously. It's a matter of whether you're willing to pay for that or you're just a bunch of whiners. So what? You kinda want to see people starting to say "I AM RICHER THAN YOU"?

- afa is a commercialised event, daicon is still majoritily organized by fans, for fans. cant even be compared in the first place
- may'n is a new artist, prolly cheaper
- you get seatings at daicon, afa, its a clusterf***.
- outside the super stars such as studio 4c, may'n and aniki etc, AFA isnt as f*** awesome as the initial promotion made it to be
- daicon is free

Before we all start comparing how miserable we are [that "i'm suffering more than you therefore i am awesome" argument], please understand that EMiNA is not doing this - or any of our events for that matter - for profit [people who went to the recent pizza party would know this for a fact].

It sucks that good things cost quite a bit money but hey, that's how the world works right?

Actually after being involved in such an event, I'm honestly surprised with the ticket charges of AFA. If you calculate the talent fees and air tickets to invite each personality in AFA and what not, added in with the cost of the venue and stuff like sound system setup and etc, SGD 118 for each Diamond Pass is considered CHEAP. I did hear rumors of AFA organizers taking quite a big risk with AFA and almost went red but I never knew how true it was until I got involved in DaiCon. Of course I'm not giving out the exact details but definitely we're in big danger of running red ourselves even with all the support we get from MMU management and our sponsors

DaiCon is definitely not AFA and we're not really competing against them. In fact the whole idea started because we all wanted to invite a female seiyuu to Malaysia because both consecutive years of GACC invited male ones and we wanted to get something fresh for a change. The idea really started out soon after GACC 08, which was waaaaaaaaaaay before AFA was even announced so there was no 'competition' or whatsoever with them. But AFA did give us a lot of idea on how to handle a big scale event, to which I am thankful I made to trip to.

Anyways, we hope to be able to have our visitors leave with an enjoyable time here at DaiCon, so please do come and support us!

yes i dun know the real cost of bringing minori to cyber...but i start to feel like "Only rich ppl can get good things, poor ppl pls avoid it as possible"...


I feel like it alrdy is a commercialised event...maybe afa promotion too over for it, but the evaluation of its event still depending to each ppl personal like i love figure and gundam but u dun like it...i dun care about super star but u care about them.

And i think if u want seating at daicon, u need to buy rm250/150 ticket for it...rm50 enthusiast ticket for standing only, no chair to sit. And if u want to compare the ticket price of these two events, it is as below...i rather buy the entrance ticket than enthusiast.

Daicon VS AFA08

AWSM (RM250, autograph and seating)
VS
Diamond VIP pass (SGD118/RM286, autograph and seating, included 2 days entrance fee)


Elite (RM150, seating)
VS
VIP pass (SGD68/RM165, seating, included 2 days entrance fee)


Enthusiast (RM50, standing behind Elite)
VS
Normal AFA08 entrance ticket (SGD8/RM19, standing behind VIP, included 2 days entrance fee)

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but STAD money and sponsors money will never be enough to organize such event. As for the grand hall, we have to pay for the rental. It's advisable to get your facts right before saying it out to the public.

Thank you and have a nice day.
