First of all, that 1, "Request for attendees' baggage confirmationFrom. In this comic market 74, since it was decided to check the baggage of participants in order to prevent bringing in dangerous goods, they said they do not want to bring in items that violate laws / ordinances or carry-on items based on rules of comic market . For items prohibited to carry in, "Comic Market 74 Catalog"On page 8 (the same thing is also written on page 8 of the PDF file at the top), and in the event of a breach, the relevant goods etc. are forfeited and they are not able to respond to the return I will. Also, if you do not accept confiscation you can not enter.

So, it is about the history of why we decided to carry out baggage verification, but since July of this year,Intimidation of comic marketIn addition to the fact that there were a plurality of recent cases, there were strong guidance on the implementation of baggage verification from the authorities (= police?) In various situations.

Next is Part 2, "Notice of partial escalator operation suspension during the holding period"about. As people are aware that people are not going to join Comiket any more,Escalator accident that occurred at Tokyo Big Sight on August 3Relating to Tokyo Big Sight, it seems that there was a message to the effect that the following escalators will stop operating during the comic market period.

· West ES No. 3 (common name: West Exhibition Hall 1-4 Escalator)
· Conference building ES No. 4 (common name: conference building 3-6 escalator)

this"West ES No. 3 machine"Caused an accident on 4th August but caused an accident, but since comic markets do not use until the day when the number of participants settles down from the time of opening, the impact on suspension is minor. Also, regarding "Conference Building ES No. 4", it seems that the conference building elevator will be changed to main lead.

Furthermore, since there are not so many days until the day, and after the catalog has already been out already, in order to inform about the matter this time,Urgent Notice from Comic Market Preparation CommitteeIt is said that please give me a link to.
