Inappropriate Attire

If any of the likes is caught around the event area, you will be asked to change or remove parts of your attire. Those who fail to comply with the rules may be asked to leave the area.


Manners towards Circles

  • Please handle every item with care.

  • DO NOT negotiate the price.

  • If you have your payment ready in an envelope, please take the money out and make sure that it is the right amount before handing it to the seller.


Pre-event Period

Before the event starts, there will be a lot of attendees waiting in line to get in. Please be reminded that:

  1. Please do not come to wait in the area around the event before 8:30 a.m.
    Comic Avenue reserves the right to refuse any line up outside of the designated area or time.

  2. To reduce any inconvenience caused, staff members have prepared a waiting area for those who line up and wait long before the opening time. If you do not feel comfortable, you can always linger around the event area to kill time. However, if you are not back in line in time, your place will be skipped.

  3. The entrance booth will be opened for service before the event starts to allow fast line release.
    After the payment and receiving a queue number, you do not have to stay in line.
    However, please get back into your queue at least 15 – 20 minutes before the opening time
    **Comic Avenue does not sell advance tickets before the actual event date**

  4. Due to floods of attendees waiting for the opening time, we cannot possibly provide chairs or other facilities. Everyone will have to sit on the floor in the area that we see the most appropriate and convenient. We greatly appreciate your understanding.

  5. When the door is open, staff members will release the line in order as fast as they can. Kindly understand that it might take up to 15 minutes depending on numbers of people. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  6. If you feel ill, please do not hesitate to inform the nearest staff member.
