Some questions about TAK.

[Frolovian]

This year will be my first TAK so I've got a few questions.

1. What time does it start?
2. How long does it last?
3. Is there any food there (for general admission)?
4. How early do you recommend I get there?
5. From your past experience at TAK, how many players were you able to get auto's/pics with until the event ended?

Thanks in advance. Karma will be given.

1) 6pm
2) not sure, but it was 4 hrs last year.
3) no. but it's different this year. for the 1st time, it's being held at an amusement park, so they may have concessions open. but that's a huge maybe.
4) i showed up right at opening and was fine. i'm NEVER early.
5) i got all autos and pics.

i'm not going this year because i already went to meet the players in nov.

How does it work? You pay for the ticket and then you have to bring money to tip them? Does each item cost a different price?

[swsscheez]

it's 5-10pm so it's 5 hours this year.... it's a $1 for an autograph with each player/coach ( they pretty much sign anything), and $2 for a pic with the player/coach....

the 5pm start time is for v.i.p. entrance. it's 6pm for gen. adm.

you pay for your ticket and then tip $2 for photos, $1 for autos.
just so you know ahead of time and bring enough cash... some volunteers let us tip $2 for one photo per booth (2-3 players), but most of them made us tip $2 per player at each booth even if i wanted a group photo.

Doesn't anyone have a link to last years "some questions about TAK" thread?

Wear comfortable shoes or bring an ass cushion.

get there early if you want to hit guys like Kopi cause you'll spend a good 2 1/2 hours waiting in his line.

Food normally sucks, but being at Universal may be different than cold dogs & bad nacho's.

Either drive or take the metro pending on where you're coming from.

Bring cash - and plenty of it.

It IS for charity, ya know?
