Nominoichi Reports: good, bad, and ideas to improve

[rainbows]

Like everyone else has already said, I preferred Hall C over Hall A as it was more spacious and the lighting seemed better than that of Hall A. I found when the event was in Hall A it was more confusing as to where the lines were as that side on the building is always crowded with people so it was hard to find the line sometimes. The only trouble I had was trying to maneuver the suitcases from the parking lot to the doors, but my table companion travels a lot, so they're used to cutting a path through the crowds; so I ended up following along behind them.

I didn't really hear many of the announcements except the one that stated the TCC was closing at 10pm. We were slightly confused as we thought the event was open later, but we started to pack up our wares to head out. Not sure if we missed it or not, but was there an announcement when the doors to the Nomi was opening to the public?

We didn't have any problems with theft at our table. My table companion kept organizing our table when things started to sell down/empty space on the table appeared, so they were always moving items around and moving the more expensive items closer to them. We had a few people open cases to look at the condition of discs (as long as they asked, we didn't mind) and we just kept an eye open to make sure the disc went back.

All in all, I had a great time at the event and look forward to coming back again!

Just want to shout out how much easier and more organized it seemed to be. When I found the entrance there was one clear line, and the room was spacious and actually allowed for movement. Also less dealers posing in there this year than i've noticed in years past.

Little late in posting, but still wanted to.
This would be our 6th year selling (My twin sister Kazrea sharing a table with me, and our friend Yepa buddying up with someone else's table).
I felt like this space was way better than any previous years that we've sold at the Nominoichi and it was so organized this year.
The only thing that was kind of confusing was the sellers lineup at the beginning. There seemed to be some sort of mixup with line placements and it got a little confusing when all the lines had to be shifted back because the first people to go in were on the opposite side of the room to the doors, ha ha.
But I know that the staff as frustrated and confused too and since we were in a new area, things like that usually happen and won't happen again the next year.

Ended up getting a table pretty last minute since we were on the standby list but even with that, this years Nominoichi was pretty great.

Thank you to the staff for all the hard work you put into this event. It's by far our favourite event to participate in at Anime North.
