Eirtakon and Nom-Con unite to form Anime Dublin

    Eirtakon and Nom-Con are delighted to announce a one-day anime event in Dublin, with date, venue and price confirmed.

    Anime Dublin will take place on Saturday, April 14th in the Central Hotel on Exchequer Street in Dublin with an entry fee of just €5. Doors open at 10.30am and there will be a limited number of tickets available, so make sure to arrive early.


    For this amazingly low price, attendees will have access to all their favourite events throughout the day, such as panels, screenings and gaming tournaments. There will also be an origami workshop and a very special Easter-themed cosplay competition, so make sure you bring your bunny ears! For attendees over 18, there will be a pub quiz and late-night DJ, not forgetting an exclusive to Ireland film premiere.

    This one day event is the result of a collaboration the likes of which has never been seen before, Nom-Con and Eirtakon. "Working with the Nom-Con committee these last few weeks has been very exciting", said Eirtakon 2012 director Shannan Walsh, "This is a great opportunity for both conventions to collaborate and learn from each other".

    Over the coming weeks the details of the schedule will be filled in, including times for
    competitions, screening times and much more!

      You don't have to cosplay, cosplay isn't mandatory In fact lots of people will be there without cosplay

      Only Happiness is Mandatory



      Failure to be Happy is Treason. Treason is punishable by death.

      Hey people going to Anime Dublin! I'm a college student from the US who regularly goes to anime conventions and I was super excited to see that there was this convention while I'm staying in Ireland! Right now I'm staying in Dungarvan in Waterford County and I was wondering if there is anyone in the area that is going to Anime Dublin? None of my friends here are big anime fans and they don't go to conventions so I'm lacking someone to go with! Even if anyone would just meet me off the bus in Dublin would be a huge help since I'm technically not allowed to just go off to Dublin by myself ^^ I'm counting on you anime fans!!

      Heya SketchSong and welcome! I hope you'll get to attend a few cons while you're here and get in on the community. Do you have your ticket reserved for Anime Dublin?

      I didn't realize I needed to reserve a ticket so I put myself on a waiting list. I'm really hoping to be able to come but I'm having a hard time finding anyone to go with me. Do you know anyone in the Dungarvan area? Or even someone who would just meet me off the bus I have to take up?

      There was super-high demand, so we opened up reservations. All the tickets have been reserved, so for now you can sign up for the waiting list. If someone cancels their ticket, the folks on the waiting list move up!
      Also, we are only holding tickets until 1pm on the 14th of April so after that time, we'll be selling the tickets of people who haven't turned up.

      Any questions, email me on volunteer@eirtakon.com

      lol was so excited until i read these comments, can any convention vets tell us the odds of getting in if we do make the journey (long journey for some of us) to Dublin without a reservation at 1pm??

      It's very hard to tell, really. We can't say for certain what percentage of people might not show up, but judging by the excitement seen on the event's timeline, we are quite likely to sell out and fill up completely.

      We will definitely bear this in mind for the future and try to get a much larger venue. Remember, this is our's and Nom's first venture into such an event, it can only get better from here!
