I just checked the J-Rave page and it hasn't been amended to state this. I also checked the main page, and saw nothing about this. Could you please post a link to where you read this?

C&P from the file itself: "In order to attend the Halko Momoi concert, J-Rave Dance, or the Masquerade, it is required that attendees obtain wristbands in order to be guaranteed entrance to these events. While these events are free, this procedure is necessary to ensure that we do not exceed the capacity of the rooms used, and to spare the attendee from possibly lining-up in advance for any of these events and not gaining entry due to the demand[. . . ] To attend the Halko Momoi concert or Friday J-Rave, wristbands will be available at the following times and locations (subject to change, please see your Pocket Program when you arrive at the con for final times)[. . .] At the Autograph Tables at the Toronto Congress Center at the following times: o Friday: 6 PM to 8 PM for J-Rave Dance." That's the only time slot listed for rave wristband pick-up that I can see, although I may have misread.

I should have looked because it wasn't there before. No, I don't know anything more than you do. The time makes sense for handing them out, though - the rave starts at 9pm. If it's to control access because of fire regulations, then there'll be a finite number of wristbands based on whatever is posted in that specific room. I checked the hotel floor plan, and there's nothing stating maximum capacity for this kind of event. "Reception", as in wedding, states 200 for the double room we should have. Sorry, but that's what I know right now. I'll try and find out more info and get back to you.

The timeslot does make perfect sense; I was just wondering if there would be any way of getting a wristband if one is in the skit competition, as I'd really like to go to this event! If not, though, there's always next year. I've emailed programming about it; hopefully, between them and you, I'll get an answer. =) A new question: in your original post you stated the rave would be from 11-2am, as there was something scheduled from 9pm-11pm in the same room. The J-Rave page the site says this as well. Just now, however, you said it started at 9. Has it been moved forward? Thanks again for all your help!

The rave is from 11pm to 2am - the wristbands will be handed out that same night from 6pm to 8pm. You could also get wristbands at the Thursday night pre-reg event at the DT. I don't know where I got 9pm from....... Last Edited By: The Keith And Gary Show 05/05/08 08:41 PM. Edited 1 times.

Sadly, I can't make it to Toronto for Thursday night, and my hotel's only booked Fri-Sat night, so that rules that pick-up time out as well (for me at least). Ah well. I hope everybody who does get a chance to go has a great time! Thanks once again; you've been a great help.

I think I may have found a way to get around my scheduling conflict, so hopefully, I'll be able to get a wristband and join in the fun. Thanks once again for the info; it's been a great help.

Also for those who aren't staying for the entirety of the event. HOWEVER, only 180 people will be allowed into the small boardroom, as 200 is the hotels LEGAL limit. This is because there will be about a few SpecOps within the event, making sure the event is safe, and to leave that gap open, so that we're not completely maximizing the space of the entire boardroom. I mean, who wants to attend a rave where you don't even have enough room to rave in? If there are any more ConGuests who would like to enter the rave once the limit is hit, they would have to wait in a lineup at the entrance for people to come out for a breather or water, and if THOSE guests would like to enter again, they would have to wait their turn to be one of the 180 guests within the room. This stands as our means of operations, though in terms of admissions available, that will be finalized by The Keith & Colonel Gary Show. (Although final, this can be subjected to change, up until the night of Wednesday May 22, 2008. Though by no means drastically) -Natsume Hatsumi DjSleepiTyme Special Operations; DoubleTree International Plaza Building Area/Event Supervisor & Co-Head Moonlight Masquerade Ball Event & Area Security Supervisor/Team Head

The Fire Marshall's capacity of the Mississauga room where the rave is being held is 300, and Spec Ops does not make the decisions about how many people will or will not be allowed entry, Programming does. 280 wristbands are being given out and all of those people will be entitled to enter the rave barring unforeseen circumstances.
