Cutting visa and Mastercard will have no effect on Comiket sales in person. Went last summer and did everything in cash no problem. Of course, many people buy copies of stuff from comiket online, but there are other options for paying so people who want their stuff can use those. At worst it should be a short period of adjustment for a small few who don't have those other options. Really foreign sales probably take the biggest hit, but it's more than worth not bending the knee.
I always wanted to go to comiket. Who knows how long its gonna be around for before globohomo subvert or kill it off.
If you go in the summer make sure to take appropriate precautions. I got sunburnt beyond recognition the first day. So much so that I wore long sleeves and jeans the next day despite humid 90 degree heat just to not risk getting further burnt.
Zero regrets though. Would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it if you are interested in going.
Unless you're in a cosplay that prohibits it (the cost of fashion, alas), I'd advise looking into high-SPF arm-stockings. I don't know the exact word for them, but they're really breathable fabric you can put on your arms like open socks (so your hands are free) that stop you from getting burned, even if they get wet/sweaty/out for a long time.
Never considered that. Thanks, I'll definitely keep it in mind if I end up there again.
