Until the day before

Until the day before

Change of clothes

Transport cart Some of the douijn printing companies will wheel your printed doujinshi directly to your table, some will only deliver to the loading bay

Easy-to-move-in shoes

Sellotape

Gumtape (Cloth/Paper)

Craft knife

Nametag with Twitter icon on it (Easy to recognise)

AUTUMN CLOUD

Morning! I'm the uriko today, nice to meet you♪ /uriko/ - someone (often not directly involved in the doujin's creation) taking one of the circle's spare tickets in exchange for manning the booth for some of the day

Workgloves or the like

Sun-blocking hat

Live Ammunition (Small change)

Circle List (Route all planned out) It's a very good idea to pre-plan the route as well as what circles you want; with the amount of people and lines, you need to be tactical in what you go for.

1000-yen notes

Change of clothes / towel etc.

Hydration is important (Something with minerals or whatever in it)

If you'd please.

Spoils of war

Cellphone + Portable Battery There are very few places where there are publicly accessible sockets.

Cooling Towel Evaporative cooling towel - works by getting it wet and letting evaporation lower the temperature

UV-Cutting Glasses (Anti-glare)

You've gotta have summery equipment... right❤

● Mentally strong. ● Doesn't get conceited. ● Sparkling. ● Knows when to retreat (for example, when her health worsen).

Frozen Sports Drinks and such 1.5~2.0L Now sold pre-frozen at convenience stores!

Raincoat (For use when raining. As a rule, Comiket does not allow umbrellas)

Ziploc + ice pack Both to stop moisture escaping, and to allow you to press directly on your skin; you could replace with with a chemical-reaction cooling pad instead.

Live Ammunition (Wallet - Notes)

Electronic Money (Suica/Pasmo and the like)

10,000 yen bills should be used when the event's ending, not when it's just started. Some circles prefer getting ￥10,000 notes near the end, as it means they have to lug around less change.

Charged right up to ￥10,000 Just to make sure you have enough to get home; also so that you'll have money for the convenience store and vending machines - as they take Suica

Deodorant spray or whatnot. It gets quite hot inside, and circles can't really leave to go a cooler area

Water or the like to stop dehydration

Light Meals and such (Since there's times that you can't leave the event to go buy anything) You have to relinquish your entry ticket to gain early entry to Comiket - there is no way to get re-entry until it opens formally.

An appropriate amount of small coins (for change)

Waist Pouch

Cooling Pad

Easy to walk in, and okay to be stood on sturdy shoes. (Sneakers / Safety Shoes and the like) Large crowds and small spaces leads to feet getting squished

Whatever time-killing goods you feel like (Games, novels etc)

Perhaps you should also think about sunblock? If you're going early, you might be out in the direct sun for quite a few hours

Notebook (For taking memos, etc)

Scissors (Unexpectedly)

Large-sized Poster (About B1) Poster Stand (POSUTA) Most circles put up a poster; these posters are usually given away for free at the end of the event (they often have the table number on them), or if high-quality printed tapestry-style, saved for another event. If you're a wall circle, i.e. your table is on the wall of the big site, you don't need a poster stand, as you can put it directly on the wall; shutters (circles whose tables face outside, into the rolling shutters) still need poster stands, as they don't have walls. However, many of those put posters on the back of their boxes at the rear of their table as well, facing inwards to the event.

Writing Implements (There's a lot of drawing in sketchbooks and on boxes and stuff)

Stand for the inventory and whatnot

Space-use cloth Comiket provides circles with a bare table and chairs, nothing else

Rubbish bags (The more, the better) The only large-scale rubbish provided by the Big Site on the day is cardboard recycling

Ticket and other vital documents (Registration Card has been stamped previously) You get a limited amount of entry tickets along with your successful registration

Bathe in sunlight

Ugh... Any more would be dicey...

You can courier your spoils of war too. Both Japan Post and Kuroneko Yamato have booths providing boxes (for sale) and mailing services on-site; both for circles and visitors. Note that packing materials are not provided (for sale or otherwise).

Sweating it out to build stamina, keep in shape and expel waste products. (In a sauna or the like.)

Vinyl Bags (Varied use, such as anti-rain and for etiquette purposes.)

Rucksack (To avoid being a nuisance, it needs to be held tight) Loose bags might get knocked about

The newly-issued for this day Thin Books.

However, it can get congested, so keep it as your land hand to play. In the last few hours, even with the characteristic efficiency of the Japanese postal service, it can get very crowded. You can stay after selling has finished for a while, but that's when circles start taking any left over goods (and whatever accouterments they were using) to be shipped away.
