TICKETS 

Middle East Film and Comic Convention  (APRIL 11, 2015)


I'm glad that one of my friend introduce this kind of event to me and to my boyfriend. 

This event was fun, even if we have to take a long queue at the entrance. Some of the people were there before we arrived. There are VIP tickets for a 3 day events. But us, we take a one day Friday passed only since that day was the only day off we have. 

At exactly 12:00 noon, the gates opens. Luckily they have more booth for us to take our bracelets passes. 

Place is good. At the entrance you can see this : $1,000,000 BATMAN CAR REPLICA. That was indeed a beautiful one. Forgive me for the photo, that was the best shot I  have since there are many people surrounding they gave me a hard time to take good snaps.
