PokeFest 2 | D2 Place ONE

Lots of beautiful Pokémon cards, very lively with many people, and lots of finds.

I had a good impression of the event because I was able to buy something I really wanted and saw a lot of physical cards. However! The pedestrian walkways in the booth area didn't have enough space, there were too many people, and many people were standing still and not moving, which blocked the path. Also, the end of the entry queue reached the back stairs, and although staff were assigned to guard the end of the line, they only explained the ticket purchase method at the ticket verification point, which caught people off guard.

The venue arrangements have improved. Although it was to manage the crowd, it still took almost half an hour to get in. There aren't many vendors inside, but they offer a complete range of products.

You need to queue up early to get in; it's very crowded and lively.

make sure you get the premium pass ($150) not the regular pass ($30), which enables you to bypass the line. also buy off HK01 space since that line is shorter (though not really Klook’s fault). the entry instructions weren’t clear - we went to the 2nd floor first, then found out we had to go line up in the garage. (so lost 10mins going up and down.) the wait was 30mins. then we got taken to the 7/F where there were some pretty cool exhibits - several prolific collectors sharing their collections, a bit on the history of the Pokemon cards, other memorabilia etc. the 2/F is where the action is - but it was so crowded, realistically would be a fire hazard, and there was only one grading station which we could only get a ticket for TWO HOURS later. we did a loop around the trading card stations then left. whole experience could have been better organized (eg timed entries/ grading station option). it’s an interesting experience and not expensive, but it could be run much more smoothly.

Shopping is very simple, and the payment process is also easy. Once you arrive at the venue, just follow the signs to queue and show your QR code for entry.

Went for two consecutive days and made the most of both. Even won a prize! Hope there will be similar events next year, will definitely participate again.

As a first-time event, there's a lot to see, and the kids had a great time.

The second floor features many stalls displaying Pokemon cards. In addition to Pokemon cards, there are also related merchandise and card-drawing events. There is also a rare card exhibition on the seventh floor.

First time at this event, felt very new. Although there was a line to get in, it only took a few minutes. It was quite crowded inside, and some stalls were too packed to get close to, I'm not sure if there's a limit on the number of people allowed in. There are free appraisals at the event, but if you want the results, you still have to send them abroad for authentication. There's an exhibition on another floor with fewer people, so if you're interested in other cards, you can take your time to look around. Overall, a good event.
