Ani-com & Games Hong Kong (ACGHK) organisers said on Tuesday that the space set aside for the fair will be doubled this year, in order to accommodate more visitors.

Halls 1 and 3 of the Convention and Exhibition Centre will be filled with more than 750 booths, across an area of almost 35,000 square metres.

Visitors will be required to enter from Hall 1 and make their way to Hall 3, without any U-turns.

“We can accommodate more visitors at the same time, and the purpose is to reduce the waiting time of visitors outside. It’s too hot there and it’s not good for children,” said the event’s chief executive officer Leung Chung-pun.

Leung said to try to get people moving quicker, the first 2,000 visitors who enter Hall 3 before noon each day will receive a complimentary ticket, allowing them to come back again another day as well.

The cosplay zone will also be in Hall 3, but cosplayers and photographers will need a separate ticket to enter.

The five-day event will begin on July 25.
