Thank you Queen_Sindel, I was just a bit worried when I saw that remark about UK ticket holders knowing their allocation because they already had their tickets. I shall lay off the panic button for a bit!

I've asked the office for confirmation of this again last night. Hopefully soon. The UK silver pass holders do know their allocation already because they got the tickets, but of course that doesn't help the EU attendees. I booked a silver pass and live in the UK. I do not know my allocation and haven't received my tickets! When I checked the See Tickets website a couple of nights ago it said that 0% of silver tickets have been despatched. I would be grateful, therefore if you could clarify this for me because if UK silver tickets have been sent out and received, mine have been lost in the wormhole! Thank you.

I must admit I'm not keen on the tube either but have read that it's possible to get an overground train from St Pancras to Custom House (DLR) so am hoping to take that route.

For me, its Walter Koenig too = am so excited that I'm going to see Mr Chekov! I will always love TOS

Ok, thank you very much.

I can only echo the above post - have never seen Five Year Mission but would love to and I have many other friends who are also attending and they feel the same! It really would be appreciated by us Trek fans if Five Year Mission beam down with us!

Hello! I have a silver pass and it says on the website that it entitles me to 4 in-person autographs (randomly assigned by DSTL/Showmasters) and 4 captains talks. I was just wondering when we will be advised as to who the autographs might be for - will it be beforehand or at the convention itself. Also, the same question in respect of the captains talks? I have not been to a Showmasters event previously so am not familiar with everything. Thank you.

I'm assuming that if you want to have to go to a captain's talk you'll have to pay - depending on the ticket you have already purchased for the event. Some of them do include talks.

Yes, so exciting wondering who might be announced next!

Oh, I'd love to see Nichelle Nichols too. I have seen Garrett Wang but not Jonathan Frakes, am sure he would be a great guest.

Well, I joined this forum to chat with other Trek fans and get up to date information, primarily and can only say how excited I am about being able to go - should be amazing! Thank you to all the organisers.

Well I've got a silver pass but am just looking at photo prices, trying to decide how much I can afford but as many of you have already said, it will be worth it! I'm lucky I do have a job but am going to have to save up hard for it. I was planning to go away on holiday later this year but decided I'd go to the con instead but it'll no doubt cost as much

I haven't met either of them before but always hoped I'd get to see John De Lancie.

Digital for me as I just find it easier being able to copy/upload/download as required, email, etc.

Well, I have to say I'm very pleased with the guests announced today, being a big DS9 fan and I absolutely love Weyoun (that voice! and Damar, so extremely happy (even though I've seen Jeffrey Combs before).

Damar and Weyoun, two of my favourites!

Ooh, haven't been online for a few days, I come back today and find that more guests have been added, what a weekend its going to be!

I voted for TOS but will be happy with any of them really.

Oh I love "Star Trekkin" too but usually lots of 60s/70s/80s music always goes down well.

It seems as though there are a lot of people beaming in on their own, I am meeting up with a friend there and feel as though I already know so many more just through chatting on the Facebook groups and on here. I have been to lots of conventions before, so I would just to say to anyone who is trying it for the first time - just enjoy yourself, have fun and don't feel afraid to go and talk to other fans. I felt just the same the first time I went to one (on my own) and loved it.

I know what you mean, I'm going to get some costumes but it will be the first time of wearing them for me also! I feel like you too about sizing.

Will take a look at the FB group as I'm thinking about getting a costume and all advice appreciated.

That sounds good. I'm meeting up with a friend (from the south of England) but always glad to meet new Trek friends. I shall look up the FB group and you can find me on Twitter also (@Jay9to5).

I usually say Trekkie but honestly don't mind. I have been a Trek fan for as long as I can remember, have always loved it, always will. I have been to quite a few conventions in the past (a long time ago now, it seems) and used to get dressed up for the parties or the themed evenings but I don't have a uniform (may consider buying one for this event though) and have never been to any event as a favourite character. I don't think that it matters either, or whether you speak Klingon, etc., to me Star Trek is much more - and all the conventions I've been to, apart from the fact that I've seen so many brilliant guests and had a great time, I have always been struck by how the concept of IDIC has been so evident. I've met so many other Trek fans/Trekkies/Trekkers (whatever people want to call themselves), all different ages, shapes, sizes, from many varied countries, so many varying occupations - all drawn together by one thing - our love of Star Trek - a bright hope for the future. I just cannot wait for STL this October and look forward to meeting many more fans. LLAP
