Basically refuse to deal with the inept crowd 
control and many of the AX workers who need 
better training. Yes many are volunteers but they 
do receive training from the director and primary 
staff, I should know been there and done that. 
Been there for many years and as many repeat AX 
goers will attest to, the quality and basic human 
consideration (fans are guests too) has 
deteriorated significantly. 

I won't give belabor the facts, but the dealers 
room was poorly managed. Usually the AX workers 
don't even know where the lines started let alone 
ended! They had fans lining up all over the 
place! What a sad mess. They could learn from 
DisneyLand. The same held true for the autograph 
signings and sketches. The worse part is some 
fans have been getting cheated when they held a 
winning raffle ticket to obtain a signing but the 
AX workers said nope, ain't gonna let you in. Uh, 
whats the point of the raffle then? And lastly, 
newbies ahh... weren't we all at one point in 
time? But I am truly glad that is over with. As 
Drac pointed out they've been driving up cel 
prices for series such as YuYu to ridiculously 
high levels.

In any event, the micromanagement of AX needs 
plenty of work before I would return. Been there 
since 97, wouldn't recommend going there for cels 
if you can. Suggestion request nicely from the 
large online dealers one month prior to AX xyz 
series and characters. Many dealers get a 
shipment and begin to pack it about three weeks 
prior to AX. Those cels aren't posted on their 
homepage's and you don't have to waste the 
excessive dough for airline, hotel and food 
expenses. Oh and you probably could manage to 
avoid the whole mess of how AX is run too.
