Top 10 Worst Conventions

TanaCon had the potential to be a hit, but it turned out to be a disaster.

Here's the story:

When Tana Mongeau got kicked out of VidCon because the staff saw her dark content and hazardous actions, she made a vlog expressing her feelings about the incident and decided to host a convention of her own.

She planned her event in 2 months, worked with Good Times and their founder Michael Weist, and sold 5,108 unlimited tickets to guests.

The event took place on June 22, 2018, at the Anaheim Marriott Suites in Anaheim, CA. However, the venue could only hold 1,018 people.

But 5,108 people showed up (though some media posts said 20,000, which wasn't true), and they had to wait in line for 7 hours outside, with no shade, food, or water. Outdoor liquids of any kind were prohibited, and while food could be brought in, it had to be container-sealed. This meant no sunscreen, and many got sunburned.

They were also severely dehydrated, and some passed out from heatstroke while waiting in line. Once some got in, they were told by the staff to go to the back of the line and were forced to wait again.

Those who first saw the inside of the hotel realized there was hardly anything but a hallway and that there were no creators walking around. They would get kicked out if they drank water or used the bathrooms.

It got worse when riots formed, people panicked, and some wrote graffiti on a dirty car. They had to suffer through it all.

Tana even filmed herself laughing at what appeared to be a dead body (a Logan Paul move). Once inside, people chanted Tana's name, but then the event was shut down, leaving everyone disappointed and chanting for refunds.

Tana Mongeau mentioned that the convention would happen again at a bigger and better venue with better rules, but Good Times decided to cancel the event for good due to safety issues.

Later, Shane Dawson, James Charles, and Tana Mongeau worked on an online... more

Held on September 19th, Power Morphicon is based on Power Rangers.

For years, it was good, but in 2018, it all went downhill. There were issues with crowds and staff, leading to long lines where guests had to wait 5 hours to get a badge, outside with nothing to protect them from the sun's rays.

It was good, but it all went downhill from there, though at least the next days turned out better.

When planning a convention, think about the safety of the guests. It was a horrible start to an otherwise decent convention.

VidCon wasn't as bad back in the day, but now it's filled with YouTubers that I don't even know.

San Diego Comic Con used to be a masterpiece, but recently it went downhill.

It's a place where you're on your feet much of the day, including walking for miles. The worst part is waiting in line to get in, to buy food, and even to go to the restrooms, where you'd wait up to 2 hours.

Food and drinks are expensive. Imagine paying $16 for a bottle of water.

It's just like a busy day at Disneyland, with crowds, overpriced everything, and long waits for your favorite attractions and restrooms.

Wait times here are sometimes higher than at Disney's attractions.

Imagine needing to pee and having to wait that long.

Just like San Diego, New York Comic Con used to be good but then went downhill.

You wait in line for everything, including entering, buying food and water, and using the restrooms. Everything there is expensive, including food and water.

It's just a bunch of videos now, and it still passes for a convention?

At TwitchCon 2018, in the wake of the Mandalay Bay Shooting, organizers set up security measures including banning backpacks and bags, prompting people not to bring anything, including food, water, or sunscreen.

When it opened, there were huge crowds, and a long line wrapped around the convention center for 1.5 km (0.93 miles). Guests had to wait 6 hours to enter and get a badge, which cost $190.

Part of the line was in the middle of a highway, which was not safe.

Since they were outside waiting in direct sunlight the whole time, they got sunburned and dehydrated. Many passed out from heatstroke.

Afterwards, they had to wait more hours to get into the actual event.

What a horrible way to start a convention that's been running successfully for years.

Another convention gone downhill.

This year at PAX, people waited in line for hours on a bridge on a hot day, and they never got to attend any panels or events when they finally got in.

Sounds like a disaster.

They opened the convention center the day before the actual event so people would wait in line for hours to get badges and stuff, just so the lines for the actual opening days would be shorter.

They could have done better than this. There are safety hazards arising. It seems this is a trend for conventions nowadays.
