I'm honestly super hesitant about whether to go for the premier pass or not. The concert will be good, I'm sure, but I'm moving to Japan in September and I can see concerts then. What I'm really interested in are autograph sessions... If I'm going to skip work and fly to California I might as well, though, right? Ugh, decisions. This is an expensive hobby.

If only I was interested in anime this would be an easy decision...

I think he's asking if he can get tickets for his friends who don't have premiere badges... I actually don't know the answer to that question, but Selfishly I hope not. That would make for more seats to be taken before I get a chance to register, since Premiere Badges get first dibs.

You have to subtract the price of the concert ticket from the premiere badge though, which could be like 75 dollars for a good seat. The KLK event last year was 50 bucks for basically back row, so in the end it's not actually such a bad deal.

It also lets you get first in line at panels (maybe I am wrong about autographs, but I believe they let you essentially cut in line in the past, perhaps that has been changed?). That being said, if Momoclo does have a panel (which isn't confirmed but their guests usually do in some capacity) you would basically have front or second row seats.

Plus there is the lounge, but they arn't guaranteed to enter the lounge. If they do though, I'm sure it would be wellll worth the price of the premiere badge. I can't personally take that gamble of waiting in the lounge all weekend just for a possibility of seeing them - on my end it has nothing to do with finances either. This is a trip I was planning long before I knew Momoclo was going to be there. Even though I'm sure their concert will be the highlight of my trip, it's not the only reason I'm going.

I do admire the dedication of everyone else going just to see them though. I wonder if I'd do the same had I not already planned on being at AX.

Well, I don't do much besides buying a few things and take photo with cosplayers. So being in the lounge is more than fine for me. I basically sit home and draw all day anyways. As far as the Premier benefits, details are below.

I'm mainly getting it to ensure I get a great concert seat and the possibility of meeting them in a lounge. I'll have plenty of paper and supplies to draw with. I'm going to work on a print to bring as well and hand it out to whoever might want one. Hopefully give one to the girls too. Also getting the badge mailed to me is a great benefit. Those registration lines have been ridiculous in the past few years.

Man... don't even talk to me about the reg line... 10 hours last year...

Can I get one so I can get it signed by them? ^:)^

Sure, you can do whatever you want with it after you get it. You'll be able to find me in the lounge, unless I get kicked out for being in there too long or something lol If that happens, I'll probably be near the door to the lounge :P

lol I feel your pain. This is the first time I've ever got anything other than a normal pass. I've always been in the normal lines :)

Mattthecat you are always welcome with the stuff you bring


Question: how naive would i be if i just went to the Nokia Theatre on july 2th hoping to get a ticket on that very day? Considering that i would get there early but without tickets,.. i am realtively close to LA, but i dont want to spend a gorillion dollars to get the same view that guys that show up at the last moment get. Am i undestimating the quantity of MCZ fans that are willing to pay a fortune to travel to LA? What about it, u.s. fanbase?

Lol. I meant that humorously
Seriously though I think a special thread would benefit everyone as it would concentrate all the info for those who attend

I don't think you can get a concert ticket without having an AX ticket, fyi.

Well since everyone seems to be ignoring what stansfield123 or myself are hinting at...
I went ahead and created a thread in the News & Releases category :)
http://momoiroclover.net/discussion/342/event-anime-expo-2015

I am really very happy for anyone who gets to attend!
But I honestly don't want to wade through dozens of posts about how to get what tickets, where to stay and in which lobby to meet for the next month, thereby pushing all other info to the back.
I hope you understand and will make good use of the new thread :)
