I'll post this here as it's interesting info from Jason, posted in reply to someone on Facebook so it might not be seen by a lot of people. The last bit about the new systems in particular. Jason V Joiner there is a reason we ask people to not to encourage people to resell there tickets , and this is why , last years event we had 150 plus people that had bought tickets in auction and on line and they had been given a valid ticket number but in this case the person had resold this ticket to over 30 times to people and then event canceled the ticket to buy an upgrade which we do allow and he then proceeded to re sell the Dimond pass , he did this all with stolen credit cards and as such everyone got taken and we estimate that around 150 plus fans got ripped off . this is why we don't allow reselling because this happens , its hard to say it but it helps stop scalpers and con men , this years event will have both con men and scalpers as the guests for this years event are going to be amazing so please tell everyone to not buy tickets from anyone other than the official ticket office, also we have two things that we have held of useding to stop this from happening , with the big names that we have for the first time we are using this new security system so we will spot around 50% to 70% of tickets that have been resold , ANY transferal ticket that we find we are going o ban the person that bought them from being able to buy them in future , we are sorry but this cost lots of money to real fans being tickets they though were valid so this is not right and we do have to do something to stop this , so please don't try to resell ticket and i would hope the page owners can help us and the fans by not allowing this to happen on this page as it is agents the rules and they are there to stop people from getting ripped off , thank you all for reading , jason

Now that I've (for the moment, at least) finalised this, I think it might be interesting to talk about it. I remember recently people were sharing spreadsheets and stuff about the guests they are seeing. I have a completely different thing which I do, which I haven't seen anyone else do, so I'm curious as to wether or not anyone esle likes this idea. Basically I create an image collage (such as the one below) of the guests I will be hopefully meeting at LFCC. I print a copy of it off for me to take to the event. I then tick the people off once I see them. I put one tick on their image if I get a VQ for that person. I add another tick if I successfully get their autograph. If I get a photo shoot, that also gets a tick. So some people could be ticked off three times if I manage to get both a photo and auto with them. I like this method because it allows me to easily keep track of who I've got and what I still need to get. What do you guys think of this? I've been doing it since LFCC 2016 so I know it works for me, but I haven't seen anyone else do something like this.

This is all dependant on funds of course, and will probably change by the time we reach the event. For now, however, this is where I'm at. It's gonna be a busy day but I think I can manage it. Billy Dee Williams- Auto Lisa and Louise Burns- Auto John Barrowman- Auto William Shatner- Auto Matthew Lillard- Auto Robert Patrick- Auto Colin Baker- Auto Nicola Bryant- Auto Bob Gale- Auto Kane Hodder- Auto Val Kilmer- Auto James Jude Courtney- Auto CJ Graham- Auto and costume photo

Time travel, it’s a bitch…

Or should that be....

New statement from Jason last night: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1103904013127475&id=587003724817509&__tn__=*s*s-R

I know this is probably slightly controversial, but I REALLY hate Funko Pops! These horribly designed mass-produced plastic figures seem to be everywhere I look and I can't be the only person who can't stand them. I think my main issue is that at every ComicCon there are seemingly endless stacks of these lifeless cookie-cutter characters that are overpriced and seemingly have people going crazy to collect them. Also, it's now really difficult to find any decent quality action figures or figurines which actually look like the characters they're supposed to represent, as every retailer has filled their shelves with the soulless little bobble-heads! Someone, please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this. Bring back proper quality collectables, and let's see the end of these things!

My ranking has changed slightly, so here's my current updated one. 1) Patrick Troughton 2) Tom Baker 3) Jon Pertwee (these top 3 can change depending on what day you ask me. They are the peak in my eyes.) 4) Colin Baker 5) Sylvester McCoy 6) Christopher Eccleston 7) Peter Capaldi 8) Paul McGann 9) William Hartnell 10) Peter Davison 11) David Tennant 12) John Hurt 13) Matt Smith 14) Jodie Whittaker

From my faviourite to my least favourite (Keep in mind, I do not hate any Doctor, I think they are all great in their own way.) : 1. Peter Capaldi 2. William Hartnell 3. Tom Baker 4. Colin Baker 5.David Tennant 6. Paul Mcgann 7. Patrick Troughton 9. Sylvestor Mccoy 10 John Hurt 11. Christopher Eccleston 12. John Pertwee 13. Matt Smith 14. Jodie Whitaker

I've got: The Macra Terror steelbook, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom steelbook, The Meg steelbook, Sherlock season 2 steelbook and Sherlock The Abominable Bride steelbook.

My motto in life - if it's too good to be true then beware. It probably is. It's why I only buy through legitimate sources. And Showmasters are not alone in having tickets that are non-refundable and non-transferrable. It is standard practice for pre-paid events both big and small. Showmasters do already have a limited refund/resell policy. If you upgrade your ticket, for example a photo session to a diamond pass, then presumably your photo session ticket will be available in the shop for someone else and you have the money back for that ticket. Maybe there is a way of extending this facility with some strict controls in place. Showmasters are after all running a business. If they don't make money then they can't book the great guests and we all miss out.

SM were looking at a platform, Jason mentioned this 2 years ago or so. But this is something that needs careful planning, so I am not surprised it's not settled yet.

This all makes sense and is completely reasonable. In the future maybe Showmasters should have a facility to resell tickets. Stuff happens were people genuinely can no longer attend events, and would open the tickets up to other fans on days that sell out etc

And we are in July, the month of LFCC

Thanks, I have McGann high up because of the TV movie and the night of the doctor special, I remember one night when I was younger sitting watching tv and seeing a strange listing in the TV guide that said doctor who the movie on watch (back when W was watch). It was a school night but that didn’t stop me from staying up to watch it because it started slightly late if I remember correctly, through those two performances I felt I knew his doctor better than I know Jodie’s at the moment, and I haven’t listened to the audiobooks, it’s something I may consider in the future because I know they fill gaps in timelines. and Colin and Patrick are down low simply because I don’t feel I’ve watched enough of their doctors to put them any higher, I intend to watch any stories I’ve missed sometime in the future. Also not sure if any of you remember this, but in the UK there was a time a good few years ago now that a channel called Horror started playing classic Who, that’s where I was able to get a hold of most of mine as I didn’t want to have to purchase them outright for a first time watch, but yeh that’s just something random I out in there to see if anyone remembers that.

Magic can make you 'the one with the warning point.'

I might as well join in being a whovian too, Doctor who was actually the first geek based thing that got me into this life, so here is my list 1) Peter Capaldi 2)David Tennant 3)Matt Smith 4)Christopher Eccleston 5)Paul McGann 6)Tom Baker 7)William Hartnell 8)John Hurt 9)Jon Pertwee 10)Sylvester McCoy 11)Peter Davison 12)Patrick Troughton 13)Colin Baker 14)Jodie Whittaker based on the storylines they had and the character performance, and with this show everyone has their doctor and mine is Peter Capaldi, being Scottish myself I am slightly bias but also thought he was just amazing in his time on Doctor Who, also Sorry Jodie, I loved her in broadchurch but I just really didn’t enjoy her first season as the doctor, chibnall has two seasons to make her one of the most loved Doctors ever, because we all know she will no doubt follow the rule of leaving after three seasons. But there’s my list, thanks everyone

Love a good list. Bearing in mind I like all the Doctors just some more than others. 1) Peter Capaldi 2) Tom Baker 3) Colin Baker 4) Sylvester McCoy 5) Christopher Eccleston 6) Peter Davison 7) David Tennant 8) Paul McGann 9) Matt Smith 10) John Hurt 11) Jodie Whittaker I haven't counted the first three as I have not seen their episodes (shocking I know - I will rectify this one day). Matt Smith has climbed one place thanks to your recent reviews Mr Dalek.

One of my all time favourite episodes is The Dalek invasion of earth, another is Heaven Sent and The Ark in space.

This is actually one of my most favourite Capaldi episodes!

That’s good I’m glad

I'm being extra, extra careful with this one, you've got nothing to worry about, but I do appreciate it.

My whole schedule will be on paper. Nothing as impressive as having guest photos. But I do like to mark things off as I do them. Good to know where I've been and where I still need to go.

As far as a photo schedule goes, I just write down on a separate piece of paper where and when the shoot is. Nothing too special for that.

That looks like a really good idea. Guess we've all got a system that works for us. What do you do about knowing what time to go for a photo etc? Impressive looking list btw

Yes she is a main cast member for season 5

That's fine...

And the only option to resell at face value. We have some ticket sites here where you can do it, for festivals, concerts and such. A good tool incase it would become needed.

And unexpected. No word if Miranda Richardson will be in it. We need Queenie!

I hope he makes it for you and me both, and thanks

Finally watched Inside Out. Loved it.

Dont understand the love for them either, they are just mostly cheap, plasticy, poorly designed looking caricatures. Or maybe I should word it better, they are not my "style" of art at all. I love realistic looking toys more I guess, bobble heads hurt my eyes in general haha I know some are literally addicted to them. People have hundreds, taking over their homes haha No bad thing if you love em I guess :-D but damn they take up a lot of room! We all have addictions. So each to their own, but I couldn't have one in my home, too ugly for me haha

Show off...

When it's 16:42 in the US but your body still thinks it's 01:43 (Time in Belgium)

How do we know you're not Peter Capldi, though?

Hello, my name is uh *think of a name that's not mine* er...Peter Capaldi and i'm young, i have attended LFCC 2018 and LFCC Spring 2019, i have been on Showmasters for around 9 months, it's a sort of late introduction, but still, my favourite shows are Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock (2010-2017) and Mock the week and i love Jurassic park and Jurassic park III (very underrated film) and before anyone asks, my favourite monster from doctor who are The Zygons and The Wirrn, i look forward for a bright future for Showmasters and London Film and Comic Con and i raise my glass of orange juice!

That'll explain why you aren't getting him again then.

Are you not reaching the point where with the extra cost of the preorder and the shipping, it would have been cheaper to just go to the con?!

Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil, The Punisher, True Blood, Escape Room & Catch 44) Kim Director (Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Cavemen & Law & Order) Kristy Wu (Cry Wolf, Buffy, Transformers: Robots in Disguise & End of Watch) Ashley Greene (Twilight, Pan Am & Desire) Heather Donahue (The Blair Witch Project & Taken) Abraham Benrubi (ER, Men in Trees, Buffy & Memphis Beat)

hey everyone, thanks for finally allowing me to join the forum. My name is Cameron and I'm 18 years old, I've just finished my A levels and just waiting on those dreading results to come through haha. This will be my first ever attendance to the London show masters con, but I'm very excited about the line-up already. My main interest is Horror, I'm a absolute horror fanatic and some of your guests this year for horror fans is fantastic, unfortunately I'm on a strict budget as I attended a horror con not so long ago, but I'm attending Sunday for the ever so 'controversial', Deodato which I actually made a joke about when at the horror I attended, that I thought it would be out of this world if someone managed to get him to attend a con and here we are! Now I know he's very controversial and has caused some concerns in this community but as a Horror fanatic this is one for the history books to be able to keep something from this director :) If anyone wants to talk about Horror, I'm your guy. - thanks

Is there going to be a Malfoy duo photoshoot?
