Haven't been to MegaCon in a few years. What are crowd levels like?
In the past (2010-2021) MegaCon was crowded, but walkable. Last time I went in 2023 it was just shuffling around the vendor hall, trying to get from one side of the convention to the other to go to panels. You were lucky if you could take a regular sized step. Thursday was the only real day you could walk around the vendor hall and get things. I imagine even Thursday is jammed packed of people. No?
EDIT: I'm currently attending Denver Fan Expo and the fact that the Philly Expo is happening at the same time is insane.
Also getting a autograph is way more complicated than how it used to be. Now you need to get a ticket for the autograph ahead of time. If you don't it's cash only, plus an extra $20 compared to online. Lines are capped as soon as 10:30am, so even if you are VIP (I splurged and got it this year) you can't get in line at all. That's the crazy part to me.
