can we have a 66 boys shoot please?

[Count Fooku]

I guess we have asked the question about the group shoot now and I can see from an organisers perspective taking seven people away from the signing area all at once for what could be a little while if the photoshoot sells well could cause some problems.

Maybe if a group shoot can't happen, would there be any chance of some individual photoshoots with the 66 players. I would love a proper photoshoot with Roger Hunt.

They did a group shot with the 8 who were present at the first Sportsmania.

They did (I know because I had one done!) but it seemed it wasn't without its problems from a logistics point of view, although that was partly due to some of the guests not arriving till much later on the Saturday afternoon. SM then seemed to have to manage keeping the people who were waiting for the photoshoot happy and the people who had hung round all day to get things signed by the players who arrived late.

They are taken by a professional photographer, and you will receive a 6"x9" print.

Most guests stand. Sometimes they will request a chair to sit on, as there may be a medical reason which would prevent long periods of standing.

Edit: Just to add, it takes place in a designated photo shoot area, complete with backdrop. Not at the desk where they sign autographs.

If a shoot is not sold out yes, you can pay on the day.

If you buy in the online store there will be a postage charge because you will receive the actual ticket in the mail.

£3 for a ticket? hahah seems a bit steep for a stamp but ok i get you

They're sent recorded delivery.

[Queen_Sindel]

Like Not Pennys Ship has already said above you will get an envelope recorded delivery because you will be sent the actual ticket.

I was just asking as i wasn't sure and have never done this thing before, i was not being sarcastic or negative about the format and typed in what i thought suggested that i was being polite about it.
I have just read the reply and however you want to put it it does come over belittling and sacrastic, i will be honest i am pretty annoyed by it as if you see my previous post's i have been positive and supportive of this company, the point of the forum is to be able to ask questions, share ideas and exchange thoughts all under the banner of sportsmaniaevents and with some of the neagtive things that have been wrote on here under other threads its a very good PR stunt with a Moderator of the company biting back in that manner, not in my opinion anyways.
I seen the advert in the 442, read up and even booked a hotel for the weekend along with pre paying for a photo and to be spoken to like that is frankly not nice and feel a bit let down at this moment.

[Too Tall]

sibenn,

My post was honestly meant to come across as tongue in cheek, in a similar vain to your own "haha seems a bit steep for a stamp" comment, I certainly never intended for it to upset or annoy you. For that I am truly sorry, as you will see I have removed it and the replies.

I hope this doesn't effect your feelings about the show and that you enjoy attending.

And just in case it's not clear on the shop the £3 fee is "per order" rather than "per ticket".  So it's always best to place one big order if you can, because if you order 2, 3, 4 or even 40 tickets in the same order the fee is still £3.

Fair enough Stuart, end of matter

[Too Tall]

Thank you.

Have a great time at the show, it shouldn't be too busy so you'll hopefully get a bit of time to chat with some of the guests.

[Kieron]

At least you got an apology mate. That was downright rude. I hope paying, supportive customers will not be spoken to like that again on this forum. it's unacceptable

Don't feel let down about one comment you will have a great time at the show
