That's ok then :) Now I HAVE to go to the winter LFCC or I'd be wasting money :D She just said she couldn't take it. The only thing I can think of is I was giving her a £20 note and the £5 voucher for a £15 auto and maybe she didn't have the change as it was right at the end of sunday. As I said, I was in far too good a mood and extremely hyper, so I didn't argue with either her or the lady that had given me the voucher. Cheers

Hi, I accepted a £5 showmasters autograph voucher as change when getting my Alexandar Siddig autograph, as I was going straight over to get a Armin Shimmerman auto. But the lady on Armins desk wouldn't accept it for some reason, and I was in a rush (and star struck from the DS9 group shot and then getting all their autos ), so didn't argue. Can I use it at the winter LFCC? Any ideas why the lady wouldn't accept it? Cheers James

Admittedly this may be more media 10s area of organisation or see tickets but: Embrace the future like true trekkies :) Technology should be used a hell of a lot more. Certainly the use of electronic screens, facebook, twitter, texts, EMAIL etc. E-ticketing should be used wherever possible, but see tickets need to be driving that, but you could put pressure on them to do so. Nearly everyone has a smartphone so they have access to email and internet on the go, I imagine by the time the next convention comes round 50% of attendees will have a tablet aswell. And quite frankly if you haven't got one of those within the next couple of years you should be ashamed to call yourself a trekkie You could have the option of registering your email or mobile phone number for a random draw of the free talk tickets, and then the winners just show the email or text to the "doorman" on the way in, instead of having to queue up to collect a bit of paper and show that. It should all be possible with a click of a button on your phone or tablet :) The ability to print your own tickets for photos and talks would be good. It would eliminate alot of queue issues you had on the friday and allow you to buy right up to the day itself, and even during the event without having to queue up at all :) The email or text would contain your pass number so you'd have to be holding/wearing the pass that corresponded to the booking to avoid people printing off mulitple copies for their mates. Or you could even have networked computers and bar code scanners linked to a central database at the entrance to the photo shoots and talks, like you have at football matches, and concerts now. And even the isle of wight ferry :) Obviously you'd still have to have the option of paper tickets for the troglodytes I suppose I am a digital girl and I'm living in a digital world........ I mean boy. Digital boy

Don't forget to ask about the autographs being done in batches and therefore you get 2 lots of the same ones, if you bought 2 passes together Queen Sindel? Although based on MrBiji above, I think we have our answer

Ha ha. Leeta dressed as a dabo girl serving me drinks. I'd pay a hell of a lot more than 25 quid to see that Alas, she's just the hostess of the all star cabaret on the saturday, whatever that may mean. And the klingons are going to be performing live music on the friday. Also the blurb from the website "Featuring live music with JG Hertzler and Robert O'Reilly, blood wine and a host of Klingons to help you celebrate the first day of event open!" suggests they won't be the only klingons there. I'm imagining a host of them roaming the dance floor, bar areas and what not, picking fights and singing kilingon war songs I just hope they've got some non alcoholic blood wine, as I've been tee total for 5 years for the sake of my liver and bank balance :)

You're going to a star trek convention and you don't know who JG Hertzler, Robert O'Reilly or Chase Masterson are??? And you want to cut the star trek guest acts from the party and take the "star trek" out of the "star trek party" to make it more affordable. Hell, why not cut out all the guests from the whole weekend? Then it'll all be really cheap sorry to take the mickey, but that really tickled me :)

You've got your maths wrong as the platinum doesn't include the 5 captains photo shoots. So it's actually gold, plus autos & photos comes to £610. Platinum plus photo's comes to £1055. So it's £445 extra. You've already highlighted the benefits I guess. Guaranteed auto's and sat at the front. Plus presumably better goodies in the bag and platinum collectors card.

I think I actually jumped up and did that when he hugged her it was one of my fave episodes and the one with Wil Wheaton bowling, Geordie La Forge also coming to Sheldon's after being asked on twitter and my last but not least one is when they go to Wil's party and Brent Spiner is there... poor Brent is now on Sheldon's list lol All great Episodes.... id literally give my left arm to meet Leonard Nimoy.. Hay, can you imagine if the BBT actors came to the show.... (sigh.... Kaley Cuoco......ahem, sorry drifted away there for a minute!) now THAT would be epic I'd give my Left arm for Nimoy....... and my Right arm for Sheldon

I think I actually jumped up and did that when he hugged her

me too.... I only liked TNG.... wil wheaton is a must for me tho. I loved him in BBT too as sheldons arch enemy lol BAZINGA!!! I love TBBT.... Leonard Nimoy would be sooooooooooo epic... Do you realize what this means? All I need is a healthy ovum and I could grow my own Leonard Nimoy!

Name: JAMES Age: 29 (Will be 30 in November so this'll be my present from myself and everyone else) Photo: Traveling from: ISLE OF WIGHT. And will be dragging my best mates wife Lisa along as she's in to Star Trek TNG and wants to meet Patrick Stewart. Ticket: Definitely a 3 day pass but need to see the individual prices before deciding whether to go for a gold pass or not. I also may have to pay for 2 gold passes if I go for it so Lisa isn't sat at the back in the cheap seats whilst I'm up on my own with the cool people :) Favorite Trek: Very difficult to choose but I have to say the DS9 space battles (particularly when the klingon cavalry swoops in) were pretty much my favourite of all the series, but my favourite star trek of all time is the The Voyage Home. Favorite Trek Actor/Actress: I can't pick one, but my top 5 in no particular order would be William Shatner, Terry Farrell, Colm Meaney, Patrick Stewart, James Doohan, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Nicole de Boer, Jeri Ryan, Nana Visitor, Brent Spiner................... Whoops that was more than 5 wasn't it :) Most Wanted Guest: With all the captains already announced I'd have to say for the fan in me: Brent Spiner for the Hummana Hummana: Jeri Ryan Favorite Other Movies/TV Shows: So so many. Too many to mention but the Tv Shows I'm watching at the moment are: House, 30 Rock, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Game of Thrones, Homeland, Friday Night Lights, Sopranos, Touch. Music: Everything from U2, Oasis, Bowie, Queen, Foofighters, Sinatra to Nikki Minaj, Rihanna, Florence and the Machine, Ga Ga, The Killers, Pink, Beyonce. Like most stuff really. Other Interests: Reading on my Kindle, Walking the Dog, Running, Mucking about on computers, Watchin Tv, Playing Poker (with mates, not online)

Me and my best mates wife (the boring best mate isn't a trekkie) have got 2 rooms at the Crowne Plaza, friday and saturday night for £237 all in through a work deal. Shame I'm going with a girl or I could have just got a twin room for £120!
