Was there a super long queue to get into the convention hall? Must tickets be purchased in advance or it could be purchase at that venue?

just dun go in the morning on the first day. queue is crazy coz ppl are there for limited edition merchandises.
i went in the morning and queued for 2+hrs. the queue was so long that the end of the queue was about 2 stations away, from Tokyo Big Sight almost all the way to Megaweb. no queue at all when i left around noon

yes it is the same. look so quiet, was it the 2nd day?

wah the son goku, toriko and luffy are so ugly sia but still nice

oh and just found this: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3045.html

Tickets can be bought at the door for 1500 yen or in advance from 7-11 convenience stores and a few other selected ticket agents. The fair is open from 9:00 to 17:00 (entrance until 16:30).

 

[xtwis7]

If the tickets are those that always get sold out then I'll just wait till I reach there and buy from 7-11 before the fair.

Yeah, I was puzzled by the lack of crowds too.
I went on a Saturday morning, which I believed to be the first day of the exhibition (that was opened to the public).

Assuming that if i were to skip Odaiba right after Tsukiji and I'll only spend a couple of hours there (till about 1pm?), is it possible to squeeze Akiba > Ueno > Asasuka into that day?

Btw, thanks for all the replies guys!

From 1pm u would have to go straight to asakusa. I am assuming u wanna visit Sensoji? Leave for Ueno at around 4pm to visit the park. The muesum etc will be out as they will probably be closed. Then head down to akiba at around 7pm still can manage to visit the electri town.

But I would advise you to stay in Odaiba and then choose another location instead of visiting all 3. Odaiba have some very nice sights like the Rainbow bridge, venus fort, the Gundam outside diver city, the ferris wheel etc.
