Help w/ anime convention?

Question

Me and my friend want to go to this anime convention this july, but we arent quite sure how to get in since we've never been before =3=

Do we buy tickets online or something?
Can we buy the tickets there [at the place where the convention is] instead, on the day that we are to be attending?

Helllp -.-

Answer 1

The English word is "Animation".

Answer 2

The site tells you what you need to know except REGISTER EARLY!!!

It's a must for any con because if you don't you'll have to stand in a really long line with other people who waited to the last minute to buy a badge.

In a con there is no ticket, there's a badge. You go to a counter fill out a form and pay. I went to AWA (Anime weekend Atlanta) and the highest the ticket is has to be about 50 bucks. Since it''s the popular anime Expo it will be more. If you're going for more than one day it'd be best to buy a 3 day pass or something instead of paying an individual payment every day.

The badges or a must because it's the only way you can get into certain rooms,basically any room.

They use it for when you disobey rules they put you on some ban list.



Anyway don't pay for your badge at the convention or you'll be paying for it by wasting time in the line. Trust me, my friend went to Dragon once and his line circled through streets (insanely long)
