Abunai! 2010: The power is Yours!
Abunai! takes up the fight with evil forces in 2010! Our young heroes are assisted by the powers of magic and science to aid them in the quest for great justice. Yes, this theme is all about Power Boys and Magical Girls. From Cutie Honey and Kamen Rider to Sailor Moon and the Power Rangers, our heroes fight villains of all kinds for love, honor and to save the day. Join us in the fight for justice. The power is really yours!

Abunai! 2010 will be held from Friday 27th of August to Sunday 29th of August!

New Abunai!, New Location!
This year Abunai! will be held at NH Koningshof in Veldhoven. The NH Koningshof is a large convention centre which hosts a number of conventions and events each year, ranging from workshops to charity events or larger events such as the dutch Darts championship. It's far more spacious than our previous locations, in a more quiet and greener environment, and inside NH Koningshof itself there are also plenty of small courtyards, lounge corners and other places to find some rest. Furthermore it is very accessible by car, as it's almost directly off the highway and has plenty of parking space. The NH Koningshof is also very accessible by public transport due to a direct bus line with Eindhoven Central Station. There is a camping site in the vicinity, and as NH Koningshof holds a very large number of hotel rooms (over 500), getting a good sleeping accomodation should be no problem at all this year. More info about the new location will follow soon!

Abunai! has also struck a deal with NH Koningshof regarding sleeping accomodations, allowing us to offer the hotel rooms at a cheaper price; more information about this, as well as this year's ticket prices (and registration) will be made available soon.

What is Abunai!?
Abunai! is an annual convention celebrating Japanese culture, style, manga and anime. We offer a wide variety of events, a diverse video program and interesting competitions. Each year, we try to integrate a theme in our conventions, to give it that special something extra. If you want to know where it is held this year, check the location page. You'll also find accommodations there and a lay-out of the convention site. If you want to know what we're up to this year, check the events page.

Door Prices

25th of July 2010

Since there is only a month left till Abunai! we will be closing the ticket sale soon. You can order your tickets till Friday August 13th. After that date we will only offer tickets at the door. This means that you pay at the door, but you can reserve a ticket beforehand to make sure you have access to the convention. The door tickets will be a little more expensive; 44 euro for the whole weekend, so make sure to order before the 13th to get the tickets for a cheap price!

Revision of payment period

22nd of July 2010

Up until now Abunai! has been fairly lenient with the payment of registrations for our convention, allowing a visitor a period of up to four weeks after first buying a ticket to complete their purchase and transfer the required amount of money to us. However now Abunai! is drawing closer, we can no longer offer a reservation period this long.

Therefore we've decided to bring this period more in line with the average business standard of 2 weeks, meaning that after you order a ticket (or additional services at Abunai!), you will have up to 14 days to complete this registration, or your order will be cancelled.

note: this only goes for new registrations, existing registrations can still make use of their 4 week limit to complete their payment - the time period mentioned in the e-mail you received after ordering tickets is the one that will apply for you.

Hotelrooms (almost) sold out

18th of July 2010

As expected the demand for hotel rooms at NH Koningshof has been great, but the rate at which they're selling outlived even our own expectations. At the moment, the hotelrooms reserved by Abunai! for the saturday/sunday nighthave all been booked, and the friday/saturday night hotelrooms are close to their maximum as well. As a result, you'll be unable to select these options in our registration system.

We're discussing options with the hotel to see if we can get more rooms available. Additionally, rooms might become available in the near future, because they haven't been paid for on time, or because of double bookings or registrations getting cancelled, however this is something we can't guarantee at this moment, because it is too early to tell. Please keep watching our website for further news on this.

Note: this only applies to registrations for the hotel rooms; for our convention itself there are still a number of tickets available.
