The Beat follows up on Anime Expo apology with an article. Anime Expo Legal page updates its policy back to what it was before and aligns with the initial policy of "Attendees are only allowed one (1) ticket per session." (🙌🙌🙌)

More cancelations and more emails. Denpa keeps fighting the good fight. And a new email and apology from AX --- finally!

However, the policy Anime Expo refers to in their apology is not specified.

People's GoH are canceled in mass by Epic Leap citing the new AX Legal policy. Denpa on Bluesky takes charge as they receive messages from people that their Tanaka tickets were canceled. The Beat publishes an article.

Around June 20, people started receiving the below email. Tickets started being canceled. Both the Epic Leap and Anime Expo teams cite the rules of the Anime Expo Legal site as a reason why the cancelation. This new rule was not there by June 1st as corroborated by Wayback.

GoH tickets dropped on June 16. Issues happened like the GoH tickets not being clickable, but people were able to figure it out and RSVP. The Epic Leap Info website established the same autograph rules as back in April - "Attendees are only allowed one (1) ticket per session."

The Anime Expo Legal website's autograph rules back in April - May/early June matched what was established in the 2-Easy Steps to Get an Autograph at Anime Expo 2025! page -- "Attendees are only allowed one (1) ticket per session."

Everything started back on April 19 when AnimeExpo posted on their social media the new ticketing process and its rules.

Btw, just noticed they said free playmat for our pain... I would be over the moon if the policy they follow is the first one...
June 24, 2025 at 2:45 AM
Anime Expo sent this email to multiple people including me. I hope this is good news but, unfortunately, in the email they didn't specify which policy they're following, (1) the policy they sent back in April that people were following or (2) the policy they added later on that caused all this mess.

Just got word from a friend that one of her friends who received the first email on Friday got her only Guess of Honor ticket left (Masaki Watanabe & Genki Ito) nuked after receiving the second email. Wth is happening?
June 22, 2025 at 10:44 PM
...shared back on April 19 with the new ticketing process and rules. Before I tried for my tickets I went back and read this page to make sure I was on top of what I needed it to do www.anime-expo.org/2025/04/17/2.... I also read the Epic Leap rules. Again, no mention of 1 GoH per person.
June 22, 2025 at 8:11 PM
One point that stood out to me was that they mentioned that this new rule of one GoH ticket per person wasn't there before June 1st. I checked the Wayback Machine link and is true. At no moment, AnimeExpo relayed this to the people before tickets dropped. They did not even update the link they...

Merch mail: I don't usually buy Funkos, but I need it to get these! I love this Nami scene. I feel this arc is what made many people stick with OP and cement OP as something great!

Merch and manga mail/haul: I have been swamped with work since NYCC, so I haven't had time to do much and my boxes have been piling up. My room is a mess 💀🤣, but finally decided to clean up.
