【東京ゲームショウ2018】TOKYO GAME SHOW 2018
So my day started at my nearest station.
I had to switch at Shin Matsudo station, which would go immediately to Kaihin Makumaru station (which is the nearest station of the Tokyo Game Show messe, which is ironically not located in Tokyo, but in Chiba city, which is in the Chiba prefecture, which is east of Tokyo metropolis).
Then after a long walk to the entrance, I had to go through security (they really only opened my backpack, took a 0.2 second glance at it, and I could continue my way inside).
I bought my ticket at 7-11 2 months ago, but you'd often see especially overseas visitors buying a ticket before this line.
They pay 1200 yen instead of the 1000 yen if you buy at 7-11.
Furthermore, there are separate lines for people who already bought a ticket, people who buy a ticket at the location, and people who sponsor the event.
But only at the security check, afterwards everyone merge into 1 line, and continue walking an even longer route, which made no sense because one could go straight and they'd already be inside instead of making everyone turn left and literally let everyone walk around the entire messe from the outside before going inside.
Then the ticket check happened.
I thought they'd give me a strip back like at every other event.
Instead, they took the entire ticket from me, and gave absolutely no evidence of entry of any kind.
Meaning I could as well just swim to the other side of the canal, go through the bushes, and then get inside normally without anyone noticing.
Not that it will be successful, there is police patrolling the building from the outside at every single square metre.
And then I finally went inside!
Game promotion.
Wait estimation.
Then some misc image followed. (links because 20 image limit)
