Uhh... in AFA, WHAT SEATING LOL? IT WAS KANDANG LEMBU LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I know because I was in the VIP section during both concerts in AFA. No chairs provided there, period.

Real cost for DaiCon I can't tell, but we're in the 6 digits already, so go figure ~_~.

Also your statement of "Only rich ppl can get good things, poor ppl pls avoid it as possible" is pretty moot. It all boils down to the choice you make on what you want to spend on. I'm not exactly flush with money, but I still managed to go to AFA if only just for the concerts. Would you be spending nearly 500 SGD to go there instead? I'd wager you'd probably spend it on a new "insert whatever you like" rather than that.

Remember that DaiCon doesn't have an entrance fee either, so you can all try to crowd behind for a look. At least we aren't charging people RM 20 for that! Of course we do not guarantee any good views of the stage for that though.

Well, the rest of DaiCon is free of charge. Out of more than a dozen highlights throughout the whole event, you seem fixated on the one that costs money. It's funny how some people comment about one sour apple when there's a whole basket of sweet ones.

It's not a charity event to begin with, so do expect the price to at least cover the cost. Heck I don't even mind the organizer to gain some profits out of the event (unless it ended up as a disaster): imagine all the time and man power spent, not to mention they're not even doing this full time.

Used to be in the committee of an uni event on par as this myself, all i can say it's all tears, blood, and sweat. I feel that the ticket price is still within the reasonable range given the guest they invited, provided the event is a great success.

2 cents.

UPDATES:

First of all, the event schedule, general floor plan and doujin booths layout for DaiCon are finally up! Everyone give a big hand to our webmaster, Silencers!

We've also put up the General Rules and Photography Policy for DaiCon up on the website. Please do follow the rules or else we'll be forced to kick you out! I sure hope that doesn't happen!

We are also proud to announce the CELGames Roadshow at DaiCon, brought to you by GameAxis Malaysia! Go and show off your skills on the latest games from FIFA '09 to Red Alert 3 and many more!

Also we'll be having a Weiβ Schwarz Tournament cum Workshop on both days of DaiCon so feel free to participate or find out more about this popular TCG from Japan!

The FAQ is also updated with the latest list of autograph-permissible items for Miss Minori's autograph session as well as a few other updates regarding DaiCon.

Finally, and the most important thing. Due to MMU security policy, all visitors to the university MUST be registered at the entrance, but we've managed to lift that requirement by using a special Visitor's DaiCon pass! Please download the pass from our website, print it out on a piece of A4 paper and place it on your vehicles dashboard to gain hassle-free entry to our university! The pass also allows your vehicles access to the Visitor's Parking Bays during DaiCon, so please keep it there at all times during our event!

hell, its about time.

Dude i feel offended by that statement. Do you know how difficult it is for me to save enough money to get an AMSM ticket to attend the concert?

This statement that i've highlighted in bold is very offensive. As a student who went to AFA08 to cover the event and to see May'ns' concert, i paid fully for everything(albeit, with some parental financial support). I don't make any money as a student and i'm not from a rich family either.

Lowyat did not sponsor my trip either. It was all funded personally by me. With some help here and there from my parents.

So stop comparing AFA to Daicon. If we were to follow the current exchange rate, the amount of money spent in Singapore would be almost double that of what you'd be spending for Daicon. If you don't like the concert, then don't go for it. The rest of the event highlights are free to access.

I bought the rm250 tic, and i feel worth because i'm able to see my japanese idol in real life for the first time in my life!

as kurogane said. WHAT SEATING OLLOOL

i know because im at the very first/2nd ish row of Diamond VIP area. and you know what, at least i get an option to not get an autographed whiteboard for daicon's minori. the option still sucks (imo), but hey, better than nothing.

The daicon singing comp still have some vacancies?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


while the innocent mindset would think louise is drunk, we all knew what happened.
so you gonna go on stage with DAT FACE?

Please email karaoke@daiconnews.com regarding the vacancies of that particular competition.

I lol'ed at this, from Photography Policy.

"Up skirt shots are not allowed."

Anyway on Saturday, what time will Minori be arriving? Since i'm unable to make it at 11AM.

Noo!!! DrunkEd Louise!!!! What can you sing while you're drunk , and don't kill us by casting your phailing magics

oh yeah white board rage

can i buy chihara minori albums on the event>?

according to kurogane when i pm-ed.. no. there won't be anyone selling.. someone should though.. there's money to be made lol.

Kuro will sing on that day!!

YAY!!!

BANZAI!!!

Asking on behalf of my friends;

Are items like A3/4 sketch pad allowed for the autograph session?

Deng.. =.+'''

according to FAQ, no.
