Phoenix Comic Con 2016

The phoenix Comic Con was pretty good, there were a lot of great things about this year but then there were also a few things that need to be fixed.

Pros:

1.     Marketing was advertisements

2.     Pre-purchasing of photo-ops and autographs

3.     A lot of people with great Cosplay

4.     Guests were all real friendly

5.     Lines were managed well

6.     Vendors all had a lot of great deals

7.     Pre-purchasing of photo-ops and autographs

Cons:

1.     Guests that charged over $60 were not invited

2.     No place to purchase posters

3.     A lot of booths that were meaningless (Direct TV, Cox, etc.)

Phoenix did a great job on advertising and getting people to use #PHXCC16 which showed a lot of great cosplay’s coming together. I was extremely disappointed when I found out that Phoenix was not going to invite guest that charged over $60. I feel with that being said anyone willing to pay the large amounts should be allowed the chance to meet these guests and if Phoenix continues with this whole not inviting guests that charge over a certain amount they could potentially lose a lot of fans that have been attending for quite some time. One thing that I noticed that a lot of people are enjoying are the free movie posters that they give away and roll up for you near Celebrity Row, the late night activities are also a plus, but for the people who are not staying near the convention center lose out if they want to be refreshed and back to the convention center the next day.

This year’s turn out for the PHXCC was amazing I have never seen any of the previous years have so many people and so many willing to cosplay. PHXCC16 was also one of the hottest years so far, and many people walked many blocks to get to the convention center, but it was all worth it because they made sure that the convention center stayed cool and it never got hot and unbearable inside with as many people as there were. In one of my “Cons” I mentioned that there was not a place to purchase poster or buttons/ pins, this was disappointing. As press at the PHXCC16 I had talk to many people who were looking for something large that they could get signed and framed and then purchase buttons that they could represent their fandom in any place. In all I feel that these minor changes would help keep the amount of people attending keep coming back and maybe if they took a few simple tips from the Salt Lake City Comic Con. Phoenix is just such a great Comic Con to attend and they have given many people a place to safely express themselves with no judgement.

"Welcome to the city of Atlantis" I just had to steal this from @magicmischiefcosplay =D This was one of my favorite group experience I've had at a con, with a group of people that I had never met until the convention. All thanks to @amberskiescosplay Everyone looked amazing and was just fantastic to hang out with!!! I spent pretty much the whole day with them and honestly felt like I had known them for years =) If I go back to Phoenix Comic Con I'm definitely going to ask what their cosplans are so I can weasel my way in =P #Atlantis #AtlantisTheLostEmpire #Cookie #Helga #Milo #Mole #Vinny #Audrey #Disney #Cosplay #AmazingGroupofPeople #PHXCC2016 (at Phoenix Convention Center)
