Great as always but a few big issues need sorting before November
First of all I want to say that I honestly believe that comic con Liverpool is not only the best con in the uk but also the best in Europe, if Andy and the team keep going the way they are hopefully they will be talked about in the same breath as San Diego CC in no time. So my thoughts on Comic Con today…. 4/5/24 Positives: Plenty of seating (even if it is in the arena part) which is ace after a long day of walking round from area to area. Lots more food kiosks in the M&S arena side, with a good few choices also. Less stalls 😞 but a lot more room in the isles I thought, they seemed wider this time which was great. The idea of time slots…….(which brings me to the negatives) Negatives…… The red drawf staff had no idea about the time slots, so you had people (me included) missing out on booked times because people without them were getting priority, not diamond passes (they should get priority) so at some points we had 3 queues for red drawf stars diamond, time slots and then pre booked/pay on day. Make sure they know that diamond have first priority, then pre paid before going down the line selling pay on the day tickets. Maybe have a member of staff at the start and end of each line, check people actually have tickets before allowing them to queue up, therefore saving all these issues. If you can sort this major balls up out before November you’ll have what I consider the perfect con. The staff who had the utter nerve to ask people to prove they are disabled, what in the hell is going on there? We come as a family with our daughter who is autistic, but you would not know that just to see her, does that mean she is not disabled because she is not in a wheelchair? I have read from a few people this weekend that the staff were very horrible when it came to people with disabilities asking them to prove it???? MONOPOLY EVENTS YOU REALLY NEED TO SORT THIS!!!!! These “staff” are going to end up giving the company and con a really bad name. Lucky enough this didn’t happen to us or I would have ended up killing whoever this man was. This is a major red flag. We know most of them are volunteers but the attitude on about 70% of them is terrible, if they don’t want to be there don’t hire them. Power hungry and jumped up are the two words that come to mind this time. Please just try and have a staff meeting on the Friday before the con so that staff know where props are, where to send people, attitudes towards paying customers (some paying hundreds/thousands) and most importantly disability training please. I can’t wait to see who you’ve got lined up for November, but please either try to organise the booked time slots out (ie: explain to staff that it’s happening) or just get rid of them. We will always attend comic con Liverpool because it’s the one thing our autistic daughter loves doing with us as a family, she’s already planned her cosplay for November. I’d like to think you read this and hopefully take a little of what I’ve said on board. Karl
