Xenomorph

I'm delighted with this one... another chance to get a semi-rare autograph on the Aliens poster

Astonishing guest. Probably SM's biggest yet. Awesome!

Amazing guest. I know he's been in a few great movies, but I'd love to meet a few more incredible musicians too

The Thick of It is one of my favourite British TV comedies. Delighted he's coming!

Excellent, another signature for my poster :)

I'm delighted with this guest. I really need his autograph to complete my Aliens poster :)

I see that the diamond pass price is higher than the combined price of the autograph and photo. I know that's to guarantee you'll receive them both, but if I buy a photo separately and the guest is too busy on the day, do you receive a refund? Or is it a gamble to buy the photo or autograph individually?

A BattleStar Galactica background, maybe a Viper or the BSG bridge. Maybe some 80s fun like Knight Rider, Airwolf, A-Team van etc...

Sylvester is without a doubt one of the nicest guests you could hope to meet. I'm so glad he's such a regular.

I missed him at Glasgow this year. Delighted to have another chance in London

Excellent. I missed her at the Winter LFCC a couple of years ago. I'm glad she's coming back

Outstanding! I've never seen him at a ComicCon before. I think I might need to buy a nice BSG poster at this rate

Excellent, another autograph for my poster. I've heard she's a really nice guest too.

I really enjoyed his talk today. He's a funny guy

I'm a little surprised that the talks are so short. Hopefully it'll be quality over quantity then

I'm looking forward to the Aliens talk. One of my favourite movies ever :)

Nice one, another signature for my poster :)

Same, that's why I bought a scanner after my first convention

I met her at LFCC last weekend. She is such a nice person and she was a real pleasure to meet. I only had time for the autograph last time so I'll be hoping for picture this time around

Although it's a smaller event than LFCC, it feels much busier. All of the stalls are packed onto the ice-rink floor, so the crowd is very thick. I've never had any problems at all for photo shoots and autographs. There's only ever one photo area and it's well organised. The autographs are spread around the north side of the arena and on the upper floor. There's usually plenty of space in those zones. The talks are done on the seating areas that overlook the ice-rink, so the view of the guests is excellent. No one will be blocking your view and you'll be able to take photos. The best bit is that the arena is attached to the shopping mall, so plenty of choice for food and drink nearby.

£320 - flights and hotel £260 - gold pass £200 - spending money in London (food, drink etc...) £800 - approximately on photos and autographs. So about £1600 total. Worth every single penny though!

25 Year Anniversary Sniper - Tom Berenger, Billy Zane Groundhog Day - Bill Murray, Andie McDowell Falling Down - Michael Douglas, Robert Duvall The Fugitive - Tommy Lee Jones, Harrison Ford True Romance - too many stars to mention... Demolition Man - Wesley Snipes, Stallone, Bullock Tomestone - Kilmer, Russell, Elliott, Biehn, Zane

Yeah, I figured. Thanks for the reply anyway.

In no particular order for myself... meeting Benedict Cumberbatch meeting Mads Mikkelsen The Walking Dead commentary talk on Sunday evening the John Rhys-Davies talk... I could listen to him talking for hours the Tricia Helfer talk. I was seated just a few feet away in the front row. It felt amazing being so close.

I'm curious how guests are paid for these types of events. I'm not curious how much they are paid or anything, but I'd love to know how it works. Do they earn a single appearance fee based on number of days or whatever? Do they earn a basic appearance fee then earn a type of commission on how many photos/autos they sell? Do they pay for their own flights and accommodation etc... I'm guessing it's different for each guest depending on their popularity.
