"It is a bit excessive"
| |
I dont think the con itself has too much control over this issue, but the concept of jpophouse charging to see the panel for PLC, photo ops, in addition to the normal concert and con fees is a bit too much. Not only that, but I hear they are charging people for autographs? I mean c'mon, its an autograph! Evidently its not common knowledge, but charging fans for photos and autographs is terribly bad PR... I suggest that people need to stop being so greedy. And if anyone wants to come on the defense of jpophouse with the issues of how expensive it is to bring a musician from Japan over, save it; I know exactly how much it costs. Besides, doesnt Jpophouse have enough extra funding with how they sell bootlegs at higher prices than normal cd's? |

Not >only that, but I hear they are charging people for autographs? I mean >c'mon, its an autograph! The panels are open to the public and there won't be any charging for them. The concert is free unless you want to have the best seats. For that, I think it's reasonable to charge, especially given the costs of the venue and the equipment needed for the concerts. My understanding is that there will be no autograph sessions. They didn't want to wear out their hands. Thanks, Mike |

Well Mike, I dont think SS is charging, but I'm pretty sure PLC is. At least I thought they were. And since you skipped Kuroyume's question, I'll answer it. There are seats, but the front isnt seated, its the floor where people stand and dance and what not. And another question Mike, you say that the best seats have a price, are those the 'front' seats, or the 'seats' on the floor where people stand? I'm just a bit confused right now. |

If the map is on the website, then why werent you aware that there is a standing area up front, Mike? I think either A) staff is spreading around half-truths about the event or B) you dont know everything you're supposed too. And the map isnt loading for me. Meh. |

Meh. I wasn't aware that there is a standing area up front because we didn't create a standing area up front. However, we are doing some last minute negotiations with the bands to see if we need to scale the concert to a more appropriate size. We don't seem to be getting a huge wave of fans and perhaps the several thousand person venue is not the best room to host the concerts. Mike |

>There are seats, but the front isnt seated, its the floor where people >stand and dance and what not. According to JPophouse's website, the VIP seating is numbered. Why would you have seat numbers for no seats? Perhaps, Winter, you should check before you answered. >And another question Mike, you say that the best seats have a price, >are those the 'front' seats, or the 'seats' on the floor where people >stand? > >I'm just a bit confused right now. Again, it is stated on JPophouse's website: http://www.jpophouse.com

LAST EDITED ON May-24-04 AT 01:32 PM (PDT) Thats news to me, that they have it on the site. But this entire thing has been screwy. I'm working with the concert staff, and have been getting conflicting reports from verious members, and the staff boards have been saying one thing, and this place is saying another thing, jpophouse saying this, Mike saying that, the contradictions were getting out of control. It seems that things are clearly laid out now, so that clears up most of my confusion. But not all of it. On top of working staff, I work with Secret Secret, and havent even gotten a clear schedule for PMX regarding our duties yet. Everytime I hear of our schedule, I hear that it has been changed, and that isnt helping with my confusion. I was told that we had our schedule up on the concert page of the website, but when I looked, it wasnt there. Am I not navigating the site correctly or something? What I really want to know is where are there so many contradictions made by people working this, and why are so many other issues so *hush hush*? And whats the word about jpophouse working any backstage, or VIP stuffs with PLC? Will they work it the same way they did with Sid at Acen? If so, then thats a shame. |
