DrBungle Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just wondering how many Diamond Guests you anticipate this year. Also do you think you'll manage the same calibre of guests as last year? A long time yet before the convention, but not too many big draws as of yet this year.

Raylenth Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I think about 3 is a good number. Not too many to overwhelm the venue, the pockets and the schedule! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 SM don't usually give out any information on how many guests they're aiming for other than maybe a 'bigger than last year!' type comment. From what's been said it sounds like they are trying for the same types of guest but it all depends on who is willing and available. We won't get any certain answers to these types of questions until the guests are announced. As you say there is a long time until the show and a lot of the guests were announced closer to the show last year when they knew their schedules.

nvirtue Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I enjoyed the BTTF theme last year. It is great if they can put on a show where there are a significant number of stars for the film there. For example if there was a Goonies reunion I would be more likely to get a multi signed poster done but if there was just Corey Feldman I don't know that I would get an autograph as it would mean starting a project I might not be able to finish. Looking forward to seeing the really big names be added this year. Hopefully they will be ones I do not want as this hobby is becoming expensive! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenThePirate Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Didn't Jason mention something like 6? I could be completely wrong, but I could've sworn I remembered something in a post to that effect. Obviously everything is subject to change, and the best we can do is wait it out and see who gets announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right Pen, 6 has been mentioned somewhere along the line but I don't think there will be a set limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't mind how many diamond guests there are all im worried about is how many clashes there could be I was in one queue and told " no more photos today " and had to wait in a line for 40 mins for a refund.

Depending on how many photoshoots you plan to do, clashes are inevitable. In my experience though, the staff will do their very best to get you to all of yours, and get everyone who has bought a ticket through. Sorry you missed out though.

Also do you think you'll manage the same calibre of guests as last year? A long time yet before the convention, but not too many big draws as of yet this year. I will guess at 4. Hold on...5 As regards "big draws", that all comes down to the taste of the individual Edited February 5, 2016 by CHAPPiE13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the guest? it was Robert englund, we were all in the line and the amount of gold pass holders going to the front was unreal lol he ran out of time and we never got to have one done BUT we was in a longer line for Neve and got to see her so was a good day. I just hope the diamond passes don't have a clash lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember a few disgruntled punters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBungle Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 6 would seem a sensible number, less is more and all that. Interestingly would Jack Gleeson still be classed as one of the 6? No disrespect to him whatsoever, but for me a diamond guest is someone in the vein of Sigourney Weaver, Michael J Fox etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, he does count. No one has ever said that a Diamond Guest will always be someone who has been in Hollywood blockbusters. Jason had explained in a prior post that a Diamond guest will sometimes be someone where a special "package" - like the makeup shoot with Robert Englund - can only be offered in connection with a Diamond Pass.
