This didn't seem to be as much of an issue for the Gents but on several occasions I saw long queues for the Ladies. I was wondering if it would help if Showmasters instituted VQ tickets for the facilities.

Harry Dean Stanton has just done some events in the US.

Can someone explain this to me as I really do not understand at all why it matters. Certainly I see the advantages of reunions for photo shoots and just practicality if you've got large items to be signed. But why does it matter at all whether its the 35th anniversary, 36th, 2nd or any other number. I mean I'd like to see Sigourney Weaver (for a number of shows) But I don't see what extra benefit there'd be seeing her (or other cast members from Alien, Galaxy Quest, Ghostbusters) on some anniversary that happens to be a multiple of 5 years. I'd just be happy to see them.

I suppose a lot depends on if you're coming cosplaying one of the Muppets (Kermit and Miss Piggy are my favourites). In which case it would be a clear compliment.

Is everyone here desperate for this show to be a failure and never reoccur? I ask only because the comments here seem designed to achieve that and appear in no way to consider SM and their view of the world. There are obviously reasons why you aren't seeing the people you'd like. But regardless of whether you personally or as a group feel the line up doesn't justify attending I see no reason to attack and belittle SM which is what is happening. If I was SM reading this thread and was currently in negotiation with [....] (feel free to insert whoever is your most wanted guest) I'd think about rescheduling them to another event. After all with no attendees what would be the point, there are fees and costs to bringing actors to these events. The tone here seems to be that SM owe you a line up you're interested in, there seems to be a feeling that SM have contractually let you down in some way by not getting at the very least [...] and [...] to the show plus more actors from [...]. This show has 50 guests attending and free entry. If the travel costs/times are too high or there's no one in that 50 that you want then you shouldn't attend. But this approach of demanding an explanation from SM is never going to get a reply. At best you'll get something from Jason telling you why he can't reply and we know these reasons already. SM is a business they exist to make Jason and co. rich. So he wants every event to be a success. Whatever the reasons your favourite star isn't coming its not because Jason didn't want them. But it might be because this thread is persuading people its not worth attending. So Jason knows that inviting [...] won't be justified. So right now I don't think the line up will significantly improve, because like guests who might read these threads and be discouraged from coming, I'm sure SM read them and can be similarly discouraged. If the event is a financial failure then SM will have to think long and hard before running it again. You're not required to support an event that's not to your taste, and if SM aren't getting the guests you want then I don't think you should attend. They are a business they make a profit out of me and you. They don't reduce costs when things go well so I see no reason to support them if there's no one here of interest. But equally I see no reason to attack them and demand they explain why.

Barry was scheduled to attend this event but passed away this week. RIP

Sounds like you got a bargain, Winston Churchill's autograph normally sells for between £5,000 - £8,000

Actually this is probably not true. According to what I've read it will be Sun only on the final day. the other two days will be Fri and Sat
