That's just a raffle for a meet & greet ticket for the talent you want. I don't know where you got the idea that it would a gacha to meet a random talent.
>buy a ticket to a con to meet your talent
They'll raffle each talent individually probably. Unfortunately they'll be scalped anyway so don't worry about the raffle part if you want to get one.
that's a jap nickel and dime scheme that the english corps took on. the raffle has a built-in psychological scarcity and FOMO element that'll bring in revenue, "if you don't buy-in now you won't get to talk to your oshi while some con staffer watches and listens to you!" but think about it reasonably: in the interest of all the talents' feelings, phase can't run a raffle for only the top girls that would need it, so every talent gets a raffle. but you're a jelly fan, how popular is jelly that her slots will sell out? medium volatility compared to a pippa, tenma, lumi, shiina but higher than a rie, lia, panko, or uruka. as you move down in talent tiers your raffle is less a lottery ticket and becomes more an event ticket. how much of the domestic phase base is going to cali for a first run mostly-only Phase related con?
non transferable. i wonder if they'll let people buy multiple tickets to extend their talk time. the logical conclusion is buying all the tickets for a bench warmer so no one shows up to their meet and greet. i wonder what it'd feel like to have no one show up but finding out you sold all your slots.
Clipper raised the issue, and Phase instantly promised to fix it. As of now, he is the only one to have gotten a response.
not surprised, a clipper would get priority service, a taste of the phase citizen perk. buy your tickets before may for $10 off!
No, but multiple people can agree to add up their tickets to increase time
I don't see how this can't be acomplished with just selecting your oshi at the time you buy a Phasecon ticket. While I see your point about the less popular talents, it seems the fans of more popular talents kinda get screwed. However, if they tied a ticket to an available spot this avoids the problem entirely.
that's not so bad. the thing with meet n greets is that you can have the same level of interaction with $5 superchats.
pippa, tenma and shiina have more fans than slots though. how do you satisfy those people. i'm reminded that no one bid on lu Mei's standee at an offkai, so I dont know if her fans will show up.
For 1 minute, might I add.
On the bright side, it means Phase has a large enough fanbase that this actually becomes an issue. Never had that for Comiket
comiket has the opposite problem where smaller circles will run out of books compared to the large circles.
if your phase oshi is one of the subsidized 3views you will have no problems getting a ticket to her empty meet and greet.
I'm not the market for this, but $210 for 2 days with what's included doesn't seem bad at all if you are the market. Aside from line time minimization, snack access is huge for crowded cons, especially ones with shit walk-ability outside the venue.
its a first year con with a con outline being posted 90 days before opening.
