Disappointment

Acabo de llegar a casa, de la primera edición, no solo en España, sino en Europa, después del día de ayer he perdido toda ilusión en que, en los días que vivimos, con la tecnología y personas expertas en eventos que hay, gracias a la San Diego Comic Con en Málaga.

It is estimated that between 50,000 and 70,000 people attended the event on Saturday. There were only 10 or 12 booths on the premises, with two people at each one, to give out accreditations to everyone. Poor management, excessive prices, terrible schedule, because on Saturday, the day when most people attended, there was only one noteworthy event, with only two people who were really known to everyone.

Unsafe, since the capacity was only for 20,000 people.

Kilometer-long queues

- to see only the Avengers objects, you had to wait 2 to 3 hours (yes, like a fool, I waited in line).

- For the presentation of the new season of The Walking Dead, we didn't have a reservation and waited more than two hours to see if we could get in. Spoiler alert: they didn't let us.

There was no real control over the crowds, and the guides, with their slogan “How can I help you?”, were untrained and knew nothing, not even where things were or what the schedules were.

It seemed more like a book fair than a convention for lovers of comics, series, artists, or movies that marked a before and after.

The organization of the event seemed more geared toward covering the typical services of a small, normal event, without any particular highlights, with the occasional special guest.

The only positive thing I can say is that the public restrooms were clean and had toilet paper. But I am thankful that no accidents occurred inside, because few of us would have been able to escape with only four doors located there.
