Advice from an experienced AX attendee
You know more about the convention than the security guards. Seriously, they’re contractors. When they give answers, they’re just guessing based on what they’ve seen in the past—they don’t have the event app or anything. If you have questions, find an actual AX volunteer member!
Don’t be sheep. There were MULTIPLE funny times when a group of my friends would be standing around and talking, and then we’d notice a bunch of people had lined up behind us. Some people just don’t question things and follow the crowd haha
If you refuse to plan, give up on attending any events outside of the Main stage ones. You’ll be much happier by wandering the artist alley, exhibition, outdoor performances, ticketed events, etc.
Use washrooms on the 2nd floor or in less busy areas. They’re cleaner and mostly empty!
