Fanfest's horrid treatment of disabled fans

[Avenger]

That is very unfortunate. I definitely observed that the event management and communication was very poor, especially compared to huge events like comic-con or even medium-sized events like PAX.

Fans abusing ADA markers is shameful. I didn't see ADA seat abuse personally, and I didn't see people taking seats that people had left bags on during the sessions, but the concert was soooo crowded I could imagine things getting ugly. The crowd situation in several areas looked unsafe/potential domino situation so I avoided it. Not enough line staff by a long shot.

Good point about remembering to look out for our ADA warriors of light (especially whenever anything bad is going on) and doing the right thing!!

They really should have informed people about the event line ADA accommodation.

Overall I didn't see fans doing most of the bad things I'd seen at other conventions and festivals like huge line cutting or shoving people physically.

Hope they can fix it for London and Tokyo - the event content itself was great but they need to fix the crowd and line management. ADA concert sight lines should be fixed - at previous fanfests people didn't really stand up in a crowd in front of the seated section but this time forget it. Removing seating at the front to create a standing area might have been a bad idea. It was just so crowded, maybe not quite as bad or dangerous as a music festival but getting there and no crowd staff.

That one fan that kicked the mr happy sign over was funny.

Very rude to damage another persons property, but still funny.
