So what's the scoop on the Phoenix Entertainment people?
The treatment of their guests and just how things are handled overall. They've been doing it for how long now and it seems like every yr it either gets worse or stays the same (thats just as bad, not for the good). Hell, Greg Ayres will be one to tell you how shitty they treat the guests, hence why he won't attend the con (can't blame him). With the stories I hear, it makes me wonder if they treat their Japanese guest the same way or like royalty.
Sounds like their reg or even pre.reg lines will NEVER change on how they try to man the stuff. It's always a HUGE cluster fuck with them.
Yeah, I wondered too about them not mailing the badges out but then again, you'll have ppl claiming it got lost in the mail and never received them, etc, etc. The slip sounds like a good idea too. And yes, fuck the packets, the majority of the time its nothing interesting in them.
From what I've seen with Afest, especially last yr since it seemed like they finally were allowed more space (since this was only their 2nd yr at that hotel), they had a bigger room to go get your badges. Considering that I always go early that Fri while kids are either still in school or ppl at work, I don't have to deal with huge lines. Now during the weekend when there are tons of ppl, I'm sure their lines are pretty long but I'm also sure that they have a system to where it makes things go smoothly. How was it for you guys last yr when you went to get your badges?
