Gold Pass Question (2 Free Photo Shoots)


Recommended Posts

Hi all with 11 days to go it's just sprung to my attention that i've not actually booked up the 2 free £10 photoshoots i get with my gold pass. Does anyone have any ideas how i do this as i'm very confused thanks :)

Hi, I believe we are issued vouchers on the day to be used on the Friday or Sunday.I think there collected from what I assume will me the help desk which was at the front I think last time. Hopefully this vague reply helped.

Yes, at the moment there are only 2 £10 photoshoots - this is why it would be SOOOOOO much better if they just stuck in 4 x £10 gift cards in the Gold Pass pack that we could then use on what we want. Whilst I do want the Gemma Whelan shoot, I have no interest in the other person so it would feel weird getting their photo just to use the ticket.

 

Plenty of £10 autos (although again, I don't want any of them except Gemma), but not photos.....

So far the ones I can find available are: autographs:

Paul Jerricho - Sunday Lasse Wirdestedt - Friday Stephen Calcutt - Friday Trevor Steedman - Sunday Roy Scammell - Sunday Colette Hiller - Sunday Jamie Hill - Friday Michael Carter - Sunday Tina Simmons - Sunday Eileen Roberts - Friday Trevor Butterfield - Friday Derek Chafer - Sunday Tommy Weldin - Sunday Doug Robinson - Sunday Jim Dowdall - Sunday Alan Swaden - Sunday Terry Sach - Sunday Stephen Fitzalan - Sunday Len Bond - Sunday Quentin Pierre - Sunday Terrence Mustoo - Sunday Tony Smart - Sunday Marolyn Turk - Sunday Kit Hillier - Sunday Jack McKenzie - Sunday Alan Flyng - Friday Dean Mitchell - Sunday Christopher Benjamin - Friday Alan Harris - Sunday Ian Liston - Sunday Gemma Whelan - Sunday

 

Photoshoots:

Colette Hiller - Sunday Gemma Whelan - Sunday

 

Unless I missed some? So no choice really in photoshoots, Colette and Gemma will be pretty busy with all the gold pass holders at their shoots...For auto's. unless you're a massive SW or Aliens fan, again not much choice...

Not all guests do photos, so the 20+ you talk about will only be doing autos. At present there are only 2 on Sunday doing photos, none on Friday. We have been told though that there will be more and there's still 2 weeks for them to be announced.

I think they should offer two £15 photo shoots for £5 each as there is not really any choice

 

Won't happen, Jason already said so much.

 

Anyone know if a reason for this has been specified? This is one of the things that would put me off buying a gold pass next time. I wouldn't mind paying the price of it when I can attend every day, but I'd be annoyed if there weren't any £10 guests that I wanted to meet.

Money probably. A lot of relatively popular guests charge 15 pounds, while a lot of 10 pound guests are completely unknown, at least to me, so it makes more sense for SM to try to make me use the vouchers on auto's and photo's l would never have bought in the first place and charge me full price for the auto's l do want, then give me 2x 10 pounds off on the 15 pound guests. I can't really think of a better reason and l don't remember seeing Jason give one...not that he needs to, he makes the rules after all ;)

Here's something to think about, the £10 auto people will generally be quieter and so you may get a little chat in (no guarentee!). Would you get the chance to have a quick chat with MJF? Probably not, but you can with these people.

 

They are people and they won't want to sit about bored and lonely. You might find something quite interesting happened while filming whatever they did, even if it didn't directly involve them. It could be that you are into the stunts (how they were done pre-CGI), the bloopers (think Storm Trooper who banged his head), or whatever. So you'll have a better day and so will the guest, sounds like a potential win-win to me.

Since MJF is diamond pass only for auto's and I doubt he signs fast, I actually think the chance of getting the time for a chat is higher with MJF then with any other guest at the autograph table, but for the rest you're probably right. However, that's also the case for any attendee, so I don't see the win in it. I could have that talk opportunity with regular entry too.
