Glossary

General

• Kindly read the Comic Fiesta Terms & Conditions, especially Appendix A, please don't make a scene if you've been caught violating them.
• Be respectful, anger won't solve anything.
• Keep yourself clean and try not to bring inconvenience to others.
• Stay vigilant and be aware of pickpockets.
• Expect queues everywhere in a worst-case scenario, expect disappointment and you won't be disappointed.

Pre-Event

Be sure to check the social media of your favourite artists, cosplayers, or exhibitors for their catalogue and pre-order information.

Make sure you have activated and registered your ticket using the unique QR code on the back of the card.

Make sure to charge all your devices and power banks.

Make a checklist of what to bring on event day.
Before leaving, check it to ensure you haven't forgotten anything.

Take a bath to freshen up before heading out.

Eat something to energize yourself for the event.
If you're not hungry, try some energy bars to help keep you fuelled for at least 2 hours.

Since you're expected to spend a minimum of 2 hours in the venue, try to travel light if possible.

Getting Here

Venue: Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

Information

Information is readily available on the official website, Instagram, Facebook, Discord.

At the entrance, you will receive a booklet containing the same information as the website.
Please note that booklets may run out on Day 2, so download the map and catalogue in advance.

Volunteers (identified by their red shirts and tags) are trained to provide only confirmed information and will redirect you to the information counter if needed.
Consider asking a few volunteers for more accurate information, or refer to the information counter instead.

Entry

For OKU and kids (6-12 years) tickets, please ask the volunteers before queuing to avoid disappointment and confusion.

Since 2023, there are two entrances leading to specific areas, so please queue up for the entrance that corresponds to the area you're heading to:

• Entrance A: Exhibitor area
• Entrance B: Stage, Art Market area
  There is a trip hazard in front of Entrance B, so please do not run.

Entrances may close from time to time to redirect traffic.
Different entrance arrangements will be in place during rainy weather.
Therefore, please follow the instructions from security and volunteers.

According to the terms and conditions, food and drinks are not allowed in the venue.
During bag checks, security will hold your food and drinks, which you can retrieve when exiting.

If you are bringing any props that resemble weapons, please head to the prop check area, which is usually on the left side of the entrance.

At the entrance, you will need to scan your ticket (RFID card) by tapping it on the machine, like Touch N' Go/bank cards.
The machine will either let you in or deny you.

Navigation

Sometimes it's easier to navigate using the venue names instead of CF names, as the signage is large, clear, and available throughout the venue.
For example, Plenary Hall instead of Coffy Stage.

Please do not block the pathways.
Whether you're window shopping or chatting with friends, kindly do so at the side of the pathway, not in the middle.

According to the terms and conditions, you should not take photos in the Art Market area and pathways within the event halls.
If you still insist...again, please do it on the side of the pathway.

Refer to the schedules and arrive early to queue for entry to the stage, panels, and meet-and-greet sessions.
Access is subject to capacity limits and may require additional purchases.

It's better to ask around than to queue in the wrong line (it happens).

Queue Area can be used as a resting area when there is no line, typically after peak hours.

Shopping

By now, you should have an idea of what to buy based on the information from Pre-Event.
If you're still unsure, please go through the catalogue (ask someone for one if you don't have it) while queuing, and make your decision before it's your turn.

Please don't be the one holding up the queue because you can't make a decision.

Cashless payments are preferred, primarily via e-wallets, followed by credit and debit cards.

• That said, please prepare some cash as a backup.
• If you need internet connectivity and mobile data is unavailable, try connecting to the KLCC free Wi-Fi - ConventionCtrFreeWIFI.
• If you are still having payment issues (QR code error, card error, or cash only), consider asking others in the queue to pay for you, and then transfer the money back to them
  - and you might make some new friends along the way!
