Vaccines being rolled out.

Glastonbury attracts 200,000. Toko and Hibana attract 250-350. I agree with your logic RE things like MCM, but you can't put much smaller events in the same boat.

re OP: I'm feeling like I should start working on stuff because I'm reasonably confident I'll be able to go to a con this summer, but at the same time, I really can't be arsed to start without an actual date to work towards.

Uh what? How can they not have the money for refunds? They surely would have had put money aside for their venue deposit and paid it before opening ticket and table sales. So where's the money taken from the subsequent sales gone?

For that matter, where's the money gone from their fund-raising drives that have raised several thousand pounds from their loyal members? This all seems extremely fishy to me.

They spend the ticket money on themselves as soon as it rolls in. The fundraiser money they even said they were going to use for YouTube videos and things.

If you watch their postponement video he even says that right now they would need to be ordering the wristbands etc but they don’t have the funds to do it.

Idk how he’s expecting to run next year on what will be the slowest year of sales out of the 3.

Nah, once he becomes a youtube star, Sunnycon will be rolling in the money and the "sky will be the limit on guests".

Yeah, I remember when they got cancelled last year, he was on twitch saying he was going to have to get an actual job. About a week later it was suddenly ‘we’re putting everything into twitch and YouTube to make this happen!’ then he stepped down from being affiliate with twitch and then quit altogether after admitting 30min into a 3h stream that he doesn’t even want to stream games. If he can’t force himself to play a game he chose then what’s his chances of actually getting anywhere as an ‘influencer’?

To top it off they started that “forgotten footage series” then quit before that had to show how Liverpool really went, and started focusing on tiktok style mashes of cosplay photos they’re ripping from people’s profiles.

There was even drama on Twitter because they reposted someone’s video a few weeks back. Same person who stood up for people about the refunds last year.

The events will happen. MCM is coming back. But a lot of people I know are crossing their arms saying they won't go to any cons until every last person in the country is vaccinated. Which is fine by me. More work, more money and more space to breathe. Maybe there will be less weirdos and cunts at MCM. Just imagine a Lewisless or Obayedless con.

MCM is October, that’s way more realistic than July. If it blows up again it will be obvious by then and will likely postpone. Toko is so close after the Euro finals, which is meant to be the first test of a fully attended event (the earlier matches being restricted on numbers). Is it really going to happen?

>> No.10590319

Tokonatsu is an event of less than a thousand and set outdoors. Given the number of similar festivals which are planned in August that are intended to be ten or twenty times larger, I'd say Toko is nailed on.

Probably will require vax proof or negative test though.

Realistic approach: The MCM's planned for Lon/Birm will be a utter sham and most likely, the lowest taking of tickets ever, causing it to dissolve and hope for the con surge in 2022 with ALL venues open.

Indeed. With all the extra restrictions and likely limited capacities, cons will either need to charge double the price, lose money, or have lots already in their bank accounts.

MCM will just take the loss and be aiming to capitalize on 14-16 months of convention drought to bring in extra cash. That’s my take.

Smaller evens it all depends on how they run, i know some have overheads that cost them all the time, other events have very little in the form of cash owed and should be fine.

I think the local events are the ones that will be hit hardest, the profit driven ones that are a side hustle/business venture. Sure some of the fan events may struggle, but my guess it will depend on how far they got into running as to if they have to fold. I’m pretty sure i heard old school fan events were started with a whip around to get them off the ground, if that it true, then surely any that struggles may return that way.

its 100x easier to hold a lot of tiny ass 0 budget events than one big shitfest like MCM. Doubt AL would even comply with safety standards.

>>10595757
Looking at the government website, from 17th May events of up to 50% capacity or 1,000 people in at once will be allowed.

Sounds about ideal for AL where they stuggle to fill out their venues normally anyway. If the roadmap gets stuck at that point and never leads to restrictions being removed, then we may even see AL returning with their, what, dozen events planned this year and uh MCM not.

Food for thought there.

It’s not “or”, it’s whichever is lower. So half of 600 (300). Not a problem for ALcon as it hardly tops 150 anyway. The language on the roadmap is they “may” allow “sporting events and performances”. Conventions are neither, but it’s ambiguous at best

Just figured out I can go on Booking.com book one of the really posh hotels for MCM for really cheap and not pay until the day before. Don't even have to pay a deposit. If Boris fucks us about I can just cancel. If not, i'm paying £300-£500 for 4 nights depending on where we go. Last I remember Novotel and that Boat hotel was about 600 to a grand at around the same time in 2019.

Just doing a PSA for the gulls here. I hope me and my friends can get shitfaced on the green again.

>> No.10596596

Not on the plan, it never states conferences or exhibitions. "Large events" relates to 21st June and they say that they will look at lifting restrictions on them based on the pilot (EURO finals).

Look ALcon will run anyway because it's run by imbeciles, if you want to go to a shit-tier event, then go for it, but I guarantee it will get shut down, so make sure you can get home early if the bobbies turn up.

*Yawn* Yes it does, all there on the government website -

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-organised-events-guidance-for-local-authorities/coronavirus-covid-19-organised-events-guidance-for-local-authorities

"Events that are able to commence from Step 3 (May 17th) include those where:

People are likely to congregate in one area for the duration of the event.

People are likely to enter or leave the venue in large numbers at a similar time.

This could include events and activities such as:

business events such as conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, charity auctions, and private dining events such as charity or gala dinners and awards ceremonies, and corporate hospitality"

>> No.10596615

>>10596614
Further to that, also on that link -

"All events recommencing at Step 3 will be subject to the following capacity caps:

1,000 people or 50% of a venue’s capacity, whichever is lower at indoor events

4,000 people or 50% of a site or venue’s capacity, whichever is lower at outdoor events"


So, thats all AL events easily running. The government basically confirms they can run and only *hopes* that larger events after that can run in June onward. Put simply, AL events have far more chance of being allowed to run than MCM has. Any event with less than 1,000 people in at once is basically looking good, 4th wave permitting.

Also, if you legit think that any venue would even *allow* any company to run if it was not legally allowed then you're off in fantasy land. I mean, really? Venues don't operate like that, they'd be in even more trouble than AL if they were to allow anything illegal.

Get bent you ALcon shill.

“ Event organisers will need to adhere to the three requirements set out at the start of this guidance. This includes the need to follow the relevant COVID-secure guidance, taking reasonable steps to limit the risk of transmission, completing a related risk assessment, and adhering to all legal requirements, including ensuring that those attending an event do not mix beyond what is permitted by social contact limits.

These social contact limits for permitted organised gatherings will be:

Indoors - rule of 6 or 2 households
Outdoors - 30 people
Organisers should also mitigate risk to public health by controlling attendance, limiting numbers to take account of the space and ventilation of a venue and implementing effective infection prevention and control measures.”

Hey does anyone know how ordering cosplay from other countries will be affected by Brexit? I know that American sellers will rarely sell anything to us now.

I want to cosplay Yuki Cross from Vampire Knight, but all the websites I come across online are either far too risky or I worry that they won't sell to me.
