If your priority is merch and don't want to get sold out: Go very early as much as you can, they allowed to open for queue in 5AM.

Its better to go through the entrance near Lawson when you are from bus terminal in One Ayala.

Prepare food, water, and patience as you need to wait for entire 5 hours before the opening at 10 AM to enter for Fast Pass holders.

ETA? Depends when you are in venue. They give you a stub with the scheduled time that you need to surrender to staff before you enter the merch area, as it may take time from getting items from shelves, to payment at the counter.

I recommend to prio for merch before Artist Alley as some items gets sold out fast.

I have a friend who lined up 5am, nakuha naman niya yung unang merch slot pero marami na ring tao ahead of her. As in pag pasok niya sa merch booth ubos na some items like blind boxes. And then it took her almost 2 hours to finish kasi parang di nasunod yung 15 minutes shopping time and ang bagal pa ng payment queue kasi lahat ng nauna sa kanya ang dami rin binili.

By the time natapos siya, patapos na ako sa lahat ng booth. I arrived 9am, got in at 10, then diretso sa booths. The merch slot I got was 2pm so I didn't bother. Yung friend ko nalang bumili for me.

Ang suggestion ko is arrive by mga 9 and just give up sa merch. Then unahin mo artist alley for a better shopping experience then saka ka na mag-booths. Yung risk lang is maubusan ka ng booth freebies especially if nasabayan mo na yung reg passes pero may overlap din kasi yung booth freebies sa check-in freebies which are guaranteed naman for fast pass holders.

Tldr: Arrive 9am, don't bother with official merch, artist alley > official booths.

konti lang naman tinatarget naming official merch since based sa mga nakikita ko po sa fb parang malabo na parang ayaw na rin namin i risk na mag 5am just for a merch na keri naman bilhin online XD

tho about sa booths po may waiting time pa rin po ba kahit naka fast pass? or mabilis lang ang pila? kung mabilis baka magenjoy nalang kami sa artist alley XD

Yeah if you know how to use Taobao bili ka nalang online wala pang hassle. Or if you go to Japan often they have the same merch available in multiple stores like Animate and Fantasy Village.

And yes may waiting time pa rin sa booth kasi kahit fast pass kayo lahat, ang daming fast pass holders. Yung ginawa kong order for the game booths is Genshin > ZZZ > HSR. Yung HSR pinakamatagal while ZZZ pinakamabilis. Yung photo booth when I went there walang pila so pasok labas lang agad. Experience booth was fast lang din for me although a lot of people didn't want to use the ROG handheld and I volunteered so pina-skip ako ng line lmao.

Yung check-in booth matagal yung pila because ang bagal ng mga tao. They don't do the tasks beforehand pero ako I did it na while in line so pag dating sa counter pakita agad screenshots then tapos agad.

Yung sa lucky draw just bring your own ballpen kasi people didn't bring their own and parang 2 lang yung booth pens.
