At the beginning of the day admission to either event will be separate, however after 1pm you will be able to visit the other event free of charge! Simply show your pass / hand stamp to enter the other event's halls.
(As an extra bonus for Collectormania Gold Pass holders and Autographica Diamond Pass holders, they will have access to both events from the opening times.)

Autographica already has its regular dinner-thing in the evening on one of the nights so I'm thinking SM might too busy to have two parties?

Unless they have the "dinner-thing" one night and the traditional collectormania type party the other night, (just a thought, not that I'm going or anything)

I think if they just had the one party SM would have a bigger turn out for it rather than cutting it in half

[blue-jackal]

Is there a special rate available at the hotel yet for collectormania?

I ask because the website says it's TBA but people on this thread seem to be mentioning a reference to quote on the phone.

That's because there are one too many 0's at the beginning of the phone number. Try dialling 0121 instead of 00121 and you should get through.

perfect!
All booked now. Thankyou for your help Jola!
