Miku Expo 2020 Europe

[Mika]

That doesn't sound like fun and way more exhausting o: I hope everyone there will be fine.

You can of course leave the line briefly to go to the toilet etc. as long as you tell the people around you're going, surely people are understanding on that. And you're not away for long. But still, if there'd be assigned seats you wouldn't have to stress at all. You could just show up a bit before the concert starts and have the seat that's on your ticket. No tedious queuing and enough space around you during the show. I'm afraid what'll happen is that people will squueze towards the fron bit by bit and in the end you're like sardines in a can at the front. Next time Miku Expo comes to Europe, please, please have assigned seating. It's better for everyone. And don't have such strict bag rules as Berlin. One A4 size bag is way too small. Then again that's the rule of Verti Music Hall, not much they can do about it...

Lol what really? Good thing our hotel is next to the venue. Of course I don't just have a tiny bag during the day.
Yeah more and more I feel "I wanna be at Mirai instead" xd
And yeah while in line sure you can use the toilet, but once you are in and have a spot, what to do then if you gotta use the toilet? Will you be able to get back to your original spot?

EDIT: Like lol, how are you supposed to buy merchandise AND be without an assigned seat, all while not being allowed to have more than a tiny bag? Yeah, pointless policies.

I don't know. Once you're in the hall and the show hasn't started yet it might be okay to leave briefly. I'm just afraid someone would take my place and when I come back an argument is ready to happen.

I won't be buying merch at the venue, I preordered all I wanted, and as some people will probably head straight to the concert hall and having to line up at the merch counter will result in a not so good place in the hall. I also won't be the first to line up in the morning so I'll probably end up taking the medium approach.
You'll have to buy the shopping bag from the merch counter or something. The bag restriction only applies to what you bring into the venue with you I believe.

I'm glad they take security seriously, but pat down searches sound quite strict

Verti Music Hall's Instagram has a small interview with Guillaume Devigne, Crypton's Global Marketing Director:

Ooh, wow, I really like the image they have for the video. I'm pretty sure that's the current form of the R3 model? If so, for anyone who's wondering--that's what it looks like.

This time only a very short video (there wasn't that much too film!) but here I am anyway, my "event report" for Miku Expo 2020 Europe, Berlin concert.
Read the YT video description for a few more details if you are interested.


And about the interview two posts above me, I guess he is referring to the first Miku Expo (which was in 2014), because that was definitely not the first Miku concert lol (2009 or 2010 whatever you consider an actual concert).
And yes that image is the new model.

Co-producer of the song contest honorable mention, ¡Ven, Reina! has sadly passed away a while ago, RIP.

Wanted to buy them but now they not available in London that why I was unable to find them. Why wouldn't they be available in London?

 

[hamano]

Probably the supplier's fault, didn't manage to send them out to the venue in time or something.

As everyone probably knows, Backstreet Merch had issues with the merch. Some people were sent wrong preorder items etc. (I think someone ordered a penlight and a penlight film set but ended up getting 2 penlights, some got wrong character wristbands and stuff like that)
One of the issues was the badges sold on site which weren't shuffled (sold in blind packaging at random), so people who bought several ended up getting badges of just one or two characters. There's also a legend that no one got a Len badge in any of the concerts.

Anyway, Backstreet Merch has now apologized for the badge issue and is looking to offer replacements
