  1. Ok! I,ts in Germany! I have no problem with the venue/country. The problem that I have is the short time between the announcement of date of the convention, and the actual date of the convention, 5 months!!!! Last year was at least a year, I manage to save enough money , after paying for a 2 day pass to cover my travel/ accommodation,and spending money. This time I can,t afford to go! So please,organiser,try and give at least 12 notice, so those of us who are on tight budget can save up enough gold pressed latinum to attend!
  2. Hi! Well it is 24 hours since I arrived home from my 1st convention, and I'd like to share my experience ! Overall, I had a really good time. Lots of things to do/see, and buy! (thank God for cash points) I managed to spend a small fortune in one day, well over my budget. The staff/volunteers were both friendly and courteous. I was also surprised to see so many people in civies. But, there were a few downsides 1 Hardly any seating available. I saw people sitting on the floor, against the back wall of the hall! It is a very tiring day on your feet if you are not used to it I am disabled, and can,t stand for a long time perhaps the organizers in the future, if, and when the next gathering will be, be it the Exel. or another venue, will address this major problem. I noticed that one of the walls was an empty space 2 Photos/Autographs This is were, in my opinion was the least well organize part of the whole day! I had prepaid for my photos with 3 of my favorite characters.I thought that prepay meant that you were quite near the front No chance!I queued for 2.5 hours for Sir Patrick.1.3 hours for Nana, and 1,3 hours for Kate!(but it was worth it) 3 All said and done, I think that I shall make a 2 day, rather than only 1 day, and stagger the photos/autographs I hope in the next convention,both Jerry, and Levar will cross the pond!

  4. Tickets arrived this am ! Panic over! Quick question about the numbers on the tickets. On my NANA VISITOR PHOTO it says Ticket Number 63, PATRICK STEWART PHOTO Ticket number 658.Is this your place in the que? Also, this might be a stupid question. as this is my 1st convention, are the photos taken on the day sent to you electronically to download yourself,or do you get them on the day? If the latter is the case,what size will the photos be, and are folders provided, or is it bring your own? I,m looking forward to this gathering with Great Expectation. I should be easy to spot, as I will probably be one of the few people wearing civvies!
  5. Shwmai! I received an email from See Tickets about 1 hour ago, stating that my tickets have been dispatched! YIPPIE!
  6. Friday am, postman has been, no tickets!This is my 1st convention, so naturally, I Am a bit concerned about my tickets! Well, they do say that no news is good news! See Tickets have 5 working days left to comply,and then the will hit the fan
  7. Well it seems that See Tickets are saying that all tickets will be despatched by Friday, I think that this statement should be taken with a very large pinch of salt! Call me a sceptic,but I will only believe that statement when the tickets are actually in my hands
  8. Hi! What happens if my tickets haven't arrived b4 I leave for London? I have booked my train ticket well in advance(Friday 19.45 am) I will be leaving my flat well b 4 the post arrives, so what happens if I haven,t got my tickets? It seems 2 me that the priority of dispatch has gone 2 those that have paid the most. And no, I'm not having a go at those who have paid a lot of shekels 2 attend, but at the general method that the tickets seem 2 be dispatched.You can,t get an answer from See Tickets. The tickets dispatched notification has been stuck on same% 2 3 days !
  9. Hi! I,v been following the discussion on ticket despatches with some alarm. It appears those of us who have only bought ticket 4 1 day are being penalised for not buying the expensive packages! May be we can't afford more than 1 day at the event! Does this mean that we are to be treated as second class citizens? I thought that Starfleet treated Al species as equal, with no discrimination,yet because we did not shell out loads of money, to buy the expensive packages,we are going to be the final ones to get our tickets. We are no less passionate about Star Trek than anyone else, so why treat us with the the utter disdain you are currently doing. I was brought up watching Star Trek with my dad, and have always loved it, so please, don,t treat with disdain/ contempt because we don,t deserve if
  10. Thanks for your prompt reply! I,m new to all of this, and it is probably a stupid question, but should I bring a folder to put my photos in, or will there be an official Star Trek one be available?
  11. Hi! Are your pictures taken on the day given 2 you there, or are they sent to you electronically, ie, via an email/download attachment?
  12. Hi! Can someone tell if the photos taken on the day will be given to you there on the day, or will they be emailed to you?
  13. Hi! When you have your picture taken on the day, are the photos given to you on the day, or are they sent to you?
