Kotaku Australia has reached out to Crunchyroll Expo Australia for comment. I’ve been going to and tabling at cons for years now and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had #crunchyrollexpo Huge lines outside which are slowly devolving into chaos #crunchyrollexpoĪbsolutely horrified and appealed by the conditions at overcrowding, extremely loud music next to tables, terrible layout of booths. Turns out event was oversold by double the tickets. Well crunchyroll expo in Melbourne is a disaster. Its bucketing down raining and Ive been standing outside for over 3 hours for #crunchyrollexpo because they sold too many tickets…explain to me why they are STILL SELLING TICKETS? yianna □❤️□ missing yj & hk September 17, 2022 This is so incredibly fucked #crunchyrollexpo STOP SELLING TICKETS OMFG /ohN2B706ry The #crunchyrollexpo hashtag began to fill with expressions of anger and disbelief from punters caught in the downpour, some of whom had booked hotels and flown in from interstate for Q&As and signings, only to be left stranded outside the venue. Kotaku Australia understands that this wasn’t actually supposed to happen, and has since been rectified.Īs the day wore on, the punters lined up outside began taking their frustrations to Twitter. As tickets were refunded within the venue, the system considered them available again and so was putting them back up on Tixr. This was later confirmed to be a systems glitch connected to refunds. A quick check of Tixr at the time of writing revealed that these passes were indeed still on sale. What had been a relatively organised queue lost its structure, leaving punters unclear on their position in the line or even which way the line should be moving.Īdding to the confusion, at the time of writing, and despite notices stating the show had sold out, punters on Twitter noticed that Crunchyroll Expo Aus still appeared to be selling weekend and single-day tickets for Saturday despite being unable to let more people in. ![]() Things worsened in the afternoon as a storm rolled over Melbourne, pushing the lines against the glass outside the convention centre. After that, getting in had necessarily been reduced to a one-in, one-out situation. Though we were not able to get confirmation on it, this was seemingly a result of the venue reaching capacity limits earlier in the day. The US convention’s first Australian outing was dogged by long queues for entry, leaving punters, some in full cosplay, waiting outside the centre for as many as five hours. The inaugural Crunchyroll Expo Australia anime convention has found itself with a big problem to solve on its opening day. Any unclaimed guests tokens will also be refunded. We will offer full refunds to those not able to use their tickets, and partial refunds to those with weekend tickets who are not able to use the Saturday portion of their ticket. However, for anyone who could not or did not enter the venue, we will honor refund requests. We had no issues with guest entry on Sunday. We know everyone was excited about celebrating anime together. We worked tirelessly throughout the weekend with our venue and facility partners for a solution to accommodate all ticketed patrons. Fan safety is priority #1, and we did our best to safely get everyone inside for a fabulous time. ![]()
