I've been getting that with the exception that It showed how many $70 badges were left. Then, it declined my first credit card (which I know that there's more than enough funds on it), then I went for another. Still rejected my next card. Then the next one. Then I had a notification that the badge was no longer around. I got the "Sold Out" of the $70 after I made a refresh, so I tried the $75 instead. Still rejecting my cards.

[Otakon News]Registration for Otakon 2024 is Open!

I've been having some problems. All of my cards are being rejected! -
Let's use the attendance numbers for 2022 as a reference: Anime Expo 2022: Over 100,000 Otakon 2022: Over 40,000 Anime-NYC 2022: 55,000 Anime-NYC is the newest convention (started in 2017), and it took off like a rocket compared to Anime Expo and Otakon in their years of existence. If it wasn't for the COVID-19 pandemic interruption, it would have been probable that Anime-NYC attendance numbers would have caught up, or at least closed in on Anime Expo's numbers by now.

Hi All! Just got back from Anime-NYC. So far, it's ok. But this news caught my attention: Anime NYC Moves to August in 2024 With Expanded Javits Presence - News - Anime News Network With this change of date, this places Otakon right between two major industry anime cons, now. With these conventions barely a month apart now, I'm afraid that Otakon is going to be squeezed out of existence. Just to put things into perspective: Anime Expo: July 4-7, 2024 Otakon: August 2-4, 2024 Anime-NYC: August 23-25, 2024

I think they also had Priss from Bubblegum Crisis" as well. I can picture Anya Forger from "Spy x Family" pointing the entrance of the "Otachan". Lawrence and Holo from "Spice & Wolf" leading everyone to the Dealer's Room.

I have an idea: Otakon should bring back these life-sized anime character boards and display them throughout the convention center.

There's only a few of us (probably less than a handful), left who were there at the time.

Otakon 2024 Hotel Block Opens August 7th at Noon
Daniel Perales replied to Clutch's topic in Otakon 2023
That's what I've been doing for these past few years. There were times when I get a rate that was like up to $80 less a night for a room at the very same hotel that is on Otakon's block. -

Daniel Perales replied to Clutch's topic in Otakon 2023
I see the prices hasn't changed much (if at all). Still kind of high for what you're going to use the room mostly for. -

How is Otakon planning on handling the rise in attendance?
Daniel Perales replied to Eagar Eagle's topic in Otakon 2023
Which is a shame. I did that last year.
