Hi Guys

This is probably a rather random topic (I say that because the trail of thought that lead to it was random) but I was just wandering what you guys thought. We've seen Showmasters Gold Pass Packs and Silver ones too but if they were to take it one step further what would you like to see?

P.S: If this topic is against the rules my apologies.

a photo shoot ticket for CM and LFCC with all shoots included and priority queuing for them ( i know sm couldnt not guarantee u get them all due to time, clashes ect, but it would still be worth it!)

the autographica photo shoot ticket not to be limited! it used to include all the photo shoots on offer, now it limits you to a certain number.
I would like to meet the tart who just complained about me! if its you, come say hi! p.s I paid £180 entry to LFCC 2011, is that free?

Good question.

Probably signing when the door is closed to the public eg before it opens or after it closes to help escape the crowds and ensure a longer interaction with the guest?

Personal escort by SM staff eg carry your bags whilst you go from one place to another?

Limosine picking you up to and from venue?

Yeah I was thinking more among the lines of a special momento like a framed photo signed by all the guests and access to a party after like with the resident pass. Priority queuing is a definite possibly with a signed shoot with a personalised message from the guest.

Not that I don't like the suggestion It's just I think a Limo to take you to and from the event is something the Hotel your staying at would be more inclined to provide.

One possible idea would be to have something that combined the Residents Pass with Gold Pass privileges.

It could include:

-     accommodation at the event hotel
-     free entry to evening talks
-     additional autographs from evening guests
-     free entry to party (if there is one)
-     priority seating at daytime talks
-     free entry to any paid daytime talks
-     priority queuing at photo shoots
-     no need for VTs for autograph queues
-     themed autograph pack.

Obviously this would only work at Milton Keynes and it would be quite expensive but it would be quite good. The first three/four things listed would be the extra bits that you don't get with the gold pass.

I know you want one but I honestly don't see it happening.

At a show like LFCC we have around 40 seperate photo shoots. Even if you say 20 are at £10 and 20 are at £15, that's £500 worth of photo shoots. And this isn't taking into account photo shoots like Jeri or Gillian.

I'm not sure how much you were thinking this ticket should be, but I don't see too many people buying a £350-£500+ all photo ticket.

Especially when you wouldn't know the final line-up until the event. You could purchase the ticket a few weeks before the event and find x amount of guests that you want a photo with cancel and are replaced with ones that you have no interest in. It would be a hit and miss type of ticket.

Some thoughts :

- a signed exclusive item
- a meal with the guest of your choice
- a special free gift
- up to six personalised autographs included
- a special themed photoshoot

I just thought of another perk that would be great: an autograph pack where you choose what pre-signed items you receive (for example, if this were available I would choose 8 x 10s signed by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy - assuming Showmasters had any available).
