Is the AX schedule always so saturated? It surprises me that late announcements like this can still be accommodated into the published timetable. As I write this, hundreds must be precariously reassessing their panel attendance plans.

^no point in reassesing anything. AX is so overcrowded and so poorly run, if you are luckily you might be able to meet maybe one or two guests.

Last year for example, for guests brought by AX themselves, they limited it to 200 guests on two days, so 400 people total. There were over 100,000 people that went. And you had to basically lineup at around 11 pm to midnight to have any chance for a ticket. And this is in a pretty shaddy part of LA btw.

The guests hosted by other companies were just as bad or worst, they were also limited, typically required you to spend quite a bit of money to get a ticket, and some like the Neptunia people were even gone before general admittance was allowed into the area where they were disturbing tickets, which required purchases of around 80 bucks.

And for comparison Sakaguichi of FF fame was there last year and good luck with getting into any of his events planned or not.

Honestly the only reasonable setup was with the voice actors who had their own section and it was simply pay like a 20-40 fee. If i was actually guaranteed to meet some of these people for 40 bucks I might actually be inclined to go.
