cherig Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Does this look like it'll be the final schedule or should we be expecting another update today or tomorrow? Also any sign of a floor plan going up before weekend or is that not likely to happen now? Just so I can get super organised lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted March 6, 2014 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 6, 2014 As far as I'm aware the version up now is the final version. As for layout: Org booth and sales will be straight in front of you as you come in. The two stages are on either side of the main hall. All signing desks are along the back wall. Photo shoots I'm not 100% sure so please check on the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enrohm1963 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 is Gordon Banks still attending as there appears to be no photoshoot on the Sunday despite being mentioned in the website list of opportunities ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask at the sales table if an exception can be made. But I can't promise anything. is Gordon Banks still attending as there appears to be no photoshoot on the Sunday despite being mentioned in the website list of opportunities ? To the best of my knowledge he is still attening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmima Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hiya! I have literally just found out about this event and we want to come but having never been to anything like this before, I have two questions... 1. The kids are only 4 and 6. Both superhero mad so would there be much for them to see/do or is it just loads of talks? 2. My partner wants to hear the talk by Alan Grant - does he have to pay extra for that or is it included in the admissions price. And finally question - what's the deal with the dress-up parade? Is it too late to enter? My little girl is dying to show off her Wonderwoman costume (hand-made by me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherig Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'd read the topics near the bottom (how to get the most of the day & was the popularity underestimated) before you decide any further. It would appear today has been manic & queues ridiculous. It seems it would pay to be there before 9am for early bird tickets. As for other questions, lots of people seem to take children so I'm sure that will be fine. Talk tickets are free & available near talk area apparently. & as for cosplay there's a topic about that too that says you can still sign up on the day.

Queen_Sindel Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Sunday is alwas the more quiet day. I've asked someone from the team on location to come on and comment on the entry situation - unfortunately I really can't help there as I'm home in Germany. The talks are free as it's been said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotor1999 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 If there's anyone from the venue/staff reading this, can you have a word with the tech staff to improve the PA/sound quality in the side sections of talk stage A. I was in the centre section of the Carl Weathers/Ian Whyte talk earlier today and the relay quality was okay. Later on was in the seating section next to the centre section for the Star Wars and Danny John Jules talks and a lot of it was inaudible. A simple review of the speaker positioning will make Sunday a better experience for a lot of attendees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candymit Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 We had a wonderful day, and I don't like to moan when I know loads of people couldn't get in. But, I will, the down side for me was again the sound system. I couldn't hear Sylvester McCoy at all because the cos play stage was so loud. Even in Chris judge talk it was still loud (he even wanted to go over and tell them to be quiet) But that didn't spoil what was one of my best cons ever. Loved it, thank you show masters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTeaGurl Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I better get in early Sunday since I want my photoshoot with Chris and Suanne. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_g Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 They weren't doing tickets for talks today, they are just using the arenas tiered seating in front of the stages. Get a seat central to the stage though as its hard to hear elswhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippincp56 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The first NFCC was an unknown quantiy. Problems were bound to occur. Next year will be different and I hope to be crewing it again. As regards the queuing fiasco that was not the fault of the organisers (Showmasters) but the venue security (AFAIK) they stepped in to manage the queues and got it wrong, no-one is perfect and lessons have been learnt so next year should not see the same happening again. The free talks also brought in more people than expected and the sound system had only been supplied for the central section and couldn't be changed "on the day". Again lessons were learnt. Next year will be differerent and a better experience for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
