Thank you for watching and commenting on here! I appreciate the time you took to listen. All in all I will go again I just hope they actually listen to our concerns and do better next time. So far the facebook pages are looking like they just want to blame us for the negative experiences. Sad really. Have a marvelous day!

I think the only problem I had was the waiting times for the autographs they oversell

Yes had they kept the limit down it would have drastically been better. Saturday tickets were sold out on the site for months yet the day of the con you could still buy a 3 day and a same day at the ticket booths.

Hi sir good review. To start if Im a local just a few years in, didnt really know what a fan expo was honestly. I did the 3day thing just last year when cobra kai was there. One thing people thought me was to buy a small chair from academy sports the real tree one for ten bucks. Helped me now on other places I go, any major convention or even event at that matter a line is inevitable regardless of location. I was there just a day this year because of a late guest announcement danielle panabaker. Im biting the gun this year for san antonio superhero con and like you ill be walking in uncharted territory and hopefully it pans out the way i want it too because this one is even pricier that our own fan expo. I just pulled the trigger because it was elozabeth olsen coming and i wanted tony parker (he cancelled last year). The bad thing this one doesnt have a public transpo like we do have the dart. Anyway I feel your experience, i couldnt even last 3 hours on saturday because the AC was off and there were more people as usual!.

Yes the heat was unbearable I told people to sit in panels on the 3rd floor they were super cold and not crowded. Elizabeth Olson would be an amazing autograph to get! I learned from this experience to look up local transit systems to get to the conventions! Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it and have a marvelous day!

@The Marvelous Collector elizabeth olsen is hella expensive and i even brought a photo op. The thing nice about san antonio is you can pre purchase the autograph not like we do in dallas that you pay on the table. Over there from what I see a qr code will be sent to you. And what they did right is limit the autograph to 2 per person regardless if your vip. So we shall see. But unfortuantely san antonio doesn't have a transit system.

@@RyanKungdaanswerI’m going to the superhero comic con next month and it will be my first one going. From what I can tell you from others who have gone to this particular convention, they have all enjoy this convention because of how well run this convention is. To the point where the ones who are running the convention are on the floor at the autograph and photo op station to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and is getting the items they paid for. In terms of transportation, I highly recommend if not driving yourself to take Lyft or Uber to the convention. The area the convention is located is outside of downtown, more on the south side so it is surrounded by houses than businesses.

Hello, good review. First off I want to say, I did not go to this convention but have looked to possibly going to this one in the future and your experience and feedback is greatly appreciated. I will say a fan’s experience at these cons make or break if they come back or not. As much as people want to say Dallas Fan Exp was organized (been following on the group page), miscommunications leads to disorganization. While the volunteers may not know as much, they should at least be trained enough to understand what is happening in their area and be able to communicate to a higher up if issues occurs or be able to ask a higher up questions and inform the guest. For a huge event, like you have said, most of what people have complain about or brought attention to can be easily fix such as a police pointing where to park or directing traffic. Others like having an autograph time frame, which I don’t understand the issue, limit the amount of autographs per guest on the floor please. As much as fans do not want to be treated like cattle, celebrities/stars also don’t want to be treated like a show pony and stay until closing or pass closing. For celebrities that have stay pass closing, are troopers and are incredible and fans should feel especially lucky the celebrities were willing to do so. I hope Dallas Fan expo and future cons learn from fans and actually take what people are saying in consideration to make the experience better for everyone. Also hope you go to other cons in the future to see how others are run and your experience with them.

Halfway through. Great video so far. I do think some of this comes down to being a con newbie. I never been to this one so this mogjt not be information provided but most cons I been to including a different fan expo has information about getting there and where to park and stuff. The fan expo Philly has signs on the doors of what entrances to use and that info was provided online as well. There is also a map of the floor that was provided there alongside one on the app the con provided thst had where autographs and stuff were. Not totally blaming you here. This con seems very disorganized and a large part of that is most of the workers there are volunteers who tend to know very limited things.

Yes I do feel like not ever being to one played a factor into my negative experience. This being said I’ve seen a lot of con veterans having issues with this event as well. I did learn a few key things that I will implement in all future cons to help my experience be better. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment I appreciate it.

​@The Marvelous Collector even attheir best cons can be frustrating. While it can ve annoying acting like it's so obvious I eo think taking their suggestions as advice for the future is a good way to take it instead of just falling in "I didn't know I'm not a local". The Vincent interaction just happens. It's part of the con experience. Some actors are good with fans. Some aren't. Could be a billion reasons from a bad day that day to being awkward and uncomfortable to just being a jerk. I don't personally hold that against an actorbut it's fair to be disappointing. And yea fan expo volunteers in the orange shirt never kjow what's going on sadly and that an issue they need to fix.

@@themarvelouscollector1215 it's a surprisingly barebones operation when you look at how many people are employed by the cons. They really should change that. The volunteer system just creates a lot of problems with them being not fully trained for this and not knowing what's going on.

Well sounds like you are a first time con goer for sure. Any research would of saved you a ton of strife. They literally have an app that would of saved you a ton of trouble and not missed any autographs. Normally no photos unless otherwise posted is the rule and they had last year for sure signs posted on the columns stating such, this is a common thing people who been to cons know. You're also lucky you got quotes many don't do that and some don't acknowledge you at all. I've had the 5 minute conversation and the sign and move along so seen it both ways often times this is due to the handler, a celeb gets a bad handler they can get sour fast. Remember you don't know what their day was like and you got a quote and everything you were after so the whole kingpin response sounds kind of petty in my opinion. A lot of your complaints in my opinion were based off of not prepping and inexperience. I've been there, Texas Frightmare, NYCC and Emerald City, you have to do your prep work. All in all I try skipping the middle day at a con, always a shit show, ALWAYS!!

I appreciate your response. The app was used. I used it to show the con workers that Vincent had two photo ops coming up the fact that they didn’t know their assigned celebrities showed lack of management in my opinion. Also read the entire things to know before you go section for do’s and donts. No photography was not listed. Also it was only not allowed on Saturday so it should have been enforced the entire con or not at all. I’ve definitely learned for future cons but this one was very poorly managed based on my experiences and others on the fan expo site.
