This thread is hilarious, because I've been working for industry at AX for years now.
>>79165403Anime Expo rents the entire area unless other competing events have bid with better contracts (like the year where the Michael Jackson memorial was held.) Regardless, LACC, Peacock Theater, Novo, etc, all have their own staff that is on hand during all events, along with their own security (which AX or the contracted host is responsible for paying,) the staff for loading/unloading and all installation at the venue... there's so much and no one really cares.
>>79165298They can't. It's less than two weeks before the event. Most likely SPJA has a cancellation fee in their contract with Anycolor, its common place for situations like these. They may be able to book a last minute, local, musical act, but it wouldn't be anything big enough to 'sell out' the venue. And honestly with the cancellation fee + the minimum guarantee on the contract (think like a deposit) from Anycolor they really dont need to.
