I had already bought my gold pass but my friend pointed out the other day the group photo is gone from the programme..

Why is this???

 

if it is the case, will gold passes get anything else, as we have priority seeing and a drinks reception but surley its like charging an extra £100 just for that..

Yes, they have been removed due to there being logistical problems with them. This is the case with every event now.

 

And no, as far as I know they're not 'replaced' by anything. The website states what is in them, and there's nothing else.

 

Whether you feel it's worth it or not is obviously a personal opinion. I've never had one. But I can't blame them for keeping the prices the same considering the difficult financial time they're in with the $ -> £. They're having to be very cautious with bringing in American guests, and obviously Twilight is heavily reliant on that.

I completely understand the whole money conversion thing. Believe me, my student loans are from America and I have to budget money into how much I get for loans just to make up for the fact that I'm going to lose so much to the exchange. I just wish it would've been a bit more clear that the group photo had been removed. I signed up for mine on Sunday and didn't bother to read what all the package included because I'd just gotten a gold package. There didn't seem to be any point because nobody had mentioned anything all weekend about changes being made. I agree that it seems a bit pricey to pay £100 for just a drinks reception and special seating. I only spoke got to speak to one person during the drinks reception anyway. I got told off for following Kellan to try to get a hug because of some invisible barrier that I apparently should've been aware of. There was a lot of telling off this weekend, to be honest. If it's going to be the same thing in October, I'm starting to wonder if the gold pass is even worth it.

Let's just hope they have a really long reception. Or we just form a line and the guests can meet us in turns. Fair on both side!

I know people had issues with the gold reception. Numerous people actually. But obviously you've all been given the chance to give your opinions on that on here after the event, so all I can say is that the organisers do read and will try to take everything on board :smile:

 

These events do develop over the years, trust me. I've seen many improvements since I first started working at them. They're definitely not too stuck in their ways that nothing ever changes.

From the way I understood it, there just wasn't going to be a photo WITH the guests...

 

Gold & Silver pass holders are still getting a group photo OF the guests... that is what I was told, but I can't remember who said it for the life of me. :headscratch:

The whole issue with group shots only seemed to come to light after The Hub but there was like 12 guests in that photo so no wonder there were issues!! With like getting everyone to look at the same time etc.

 

Surely if there's fewer guests it's not such a problem? We've not heard about any problems at any other event this year and I've been to them all! Unless it's something that was just talked about behind the scenes.

 

Anyway, it's not gonna be changed back now so we're just gonna have to like or lump it lol!

someone on the crew (I cant remember who) said to me on the sunday that yeah it had been cancelled but theres a very small chance they might still have it in october cuz it ran pretty smooth on the saturday but I dont know how true that is or whether they just told us that to keep us happy!

If it isn't stated on the website that is is inc in your ticket, you won't be getting it included. If there will be one, you'd most likely have to pay extra for it. They can't give you something that wasn't mentioned, or there'll be a load of people complaining that they bought a silver but would have gotten a gold if there was still a group photo...

seriously!?

£100 extra pounds just for a drinks reception o.0

whattttt.

that was the best part of a gold ticket.

so we are paying 100£ extra for the drinkreception?! and after reading peoples reviews of that experience, there's a chance of not even get to talk with the guests..

i really hope that the organiser comes up with a good solution to make that experience worth it..

 

i'm not angry or anything, i'm still glad to have my gold ticket.. but there's obviously not much that seperates the gold tickets from the silver....

Yeah, the additional stuff is really:

 

Exclusive drinks reception with the guests on Friday evening

Reserved priority seating for the guest talks

Exclusive convention t-shirt and convention goodie bag

 

Whether someone feels that's worth the money is up to them really. Like I've always said, it's not particularly something that interests me, but certainly for people who want more access to guests and better talk seats etc then it can be great.

Being first called isnt always a good thing for those who enjoy sleeeeep!

A 9am photo call with someone as pretty as Ashley Greene is good for nobody's ego, especially when you've only had a few hours sleep and are old enough to be her mother :uhoh:
