on one hand, scalpers aren't human and shouldn't have rights

on the other hand, this isn't scalping, if they're being distributed within their community at cost - if anything, it's a preventative measure against scalpers, which should be applauded!

Allah bless Stronny Cuddles for fighting for the rights of brown women everywhere by making them sexualize themselves for strangers on the internet :pekonod:
I'm not one of those fags that cries because characters aren't played by people their own race (Hell, Shibi keeps going back and forth in her Michael Jackson-ification ) But if the birdlady isn't played by an actual latina, it's gonna be a missed opportunity.
Mara and Ceru's voices really be tickling my adult woman fetish...
I'm simping for the cop.

If anything Cover should just find a better service than fucking ticketmaster. Shit like fes doesn't get scalped nearly as much because they do the lotteries and shit, get it the fuck together you tards.

Kyouko is a moron though, he got that crap out of a /VT/ thread where literally the first reply is a guy explaining that the brats did it so that actual people get tickets at non-scalped prices, bro tweets shit without even reading the discord message.

Idol Chromashift has reorganized their talents

Akupin: Koa, Lullaby
Outlaws: Yena, Ruby, Cersea

Will they rearrange the groups again the next time someone graduates? :SelenHAHAhere:

I don't like it because they are essentially using the same methods the scalpers use. At the same time, the scalpers seem to have bought out so many tickets that this tiny 450 of them may actually be a huge chunk of the ones available at their original price. :shiinasadbee:

Good luck with that when Ticketmaster basically has a monopoly in the US. :jellysuspended:

Radio City Music Hall is a Live Nation venue and thus exclusive to ticketmaster, they're not allowed to sell tickets through other platforms.
That's the way it works in America.

And if phase was smart then they wouldn't allow smaller corpos to leech off of them. I don't think they'll allow anyone but themselves because of the name, if they wanted other people in there they would've chosen a more neutral like "Vtubercon".
Bringing along a couple of handpicked smaller entities might make Phase look big and benevolent, like how big bands bring a support band on tour (something which Japanese bands don't do, interestingly). But yeah you definitely don't want to throw it open.
I love my whores and everything but i think 6 is like a little to much
Maybe people are going to be pickier about the kind of character they want and so they don't cannibalize each other as much as regular vtubers? Though IDK, the one I've ended up watching most of from the current gen is a theme I wasn't at all into, just the specific talent has somehow got it.

So this is the fabled Free Market (they bought the competition).

Maybe it's on me since i don't watch their streams, but I don't understand the purpose of this unless these are supposed to be singing/idol subunits.

Check out Armchair's video on Brave Group a week or so ago. Apparently they have a track record of rebranding and reorganizing their subsidiary companies whenever it doesn't pan out right for them.

Hag enjoyers! The Omega Sisters are pushing vtubing past the limits of age, activity length and now they fulfil Abe's life wish by having more babies.

It's her second kid.

They would have to pick a non-ticketmaster venue as for Radio City they only sell through them. There is a reason ticketmaster is being sued by the US government.

I forget who (Kiara?) said the talents complained about Ticket Master and asked Cover to use another company, but as you stated they have no choice with that venue.

I think Phase friends would make a lot of sense to be included... looking at the success of Quest, Phase friends are definitely liked by the community. Someone like Filian would draw in an additional audience, and small indies that have good rapport with Phase talents (Hanamori Natsumi has collabbed with Pippa, Ferumi Kaipa has collabbed with Rie, etc) would garner a ton of goodwill for the convention. If Phase is big enough to pull off a Phase exclusive con then power to them, but I could see some select inclusions for sure. Definitely not a complete free for all with anyone and everyone like Offkai though.

Sadly like other said Ticketmaster`s Parent Company Live Nation Entertainment owns most of the popular venues in Murica or has long deals with them therefore shit will only get worse as Holo grows into bigger venues that are owned by them

Is anime girl deodorant how the convention smell issues could be solved?
Someone took my suggestion.

But going by the reports from the convention floor, it hasn't worked.
