Cosplayers will be having free entry but they will be screened.
Some people may have complain about the pricing of the tickets. Considering the amount of shows and effort it will be worth it. There also a new sponsor Sanyo Electric. Thats all, more detail will be finalised upon nearing the actual event day.
