Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

I don't know about you, but we waited less than 30 mins in an actual line to get tickets for cosplay. Of course, we were also out there an hour ahead of time to hang out in the courtyard, but that was lunch time anyways. And it did take them a little while to set up, but I honestly don't think they expected that many people to be hanging out there beforehand. It's only the first year they've done the ticketing thing for the big events, there's bound to be some bumps. They'll be better next year. As for actually getting IN to cosplay, we showed up 30 mins beforehand like the schedule said and as soon as 6pm rolled around they started letting people in. That seemed to go smoothly to me, as the room filled up fast and things got underway quickly.

I can't say anything about the Art Auction, as I didn't participate ($90, even while I'm sure it's worth it, is still FAR too much for me) but I think the ticketing for a first time went well. It's sure as hell beats Fanime's 2 hour wait in line for Cosplay to get a good seat.
