Me too. Wait - I did actually buy them didn't I? I might just have a quick check when I get home.

Good to see I'm not the only person more excited for Gilmore Girls than Guardians of the Galaxy. I might be the only man though...

You could have someone cancel a day who sold 1000 tickets so the few office peeps would have to sort through 1000 e-mails. I think you have to leave the automatic cancellation as it is. I much prefer it to how it was before. The only way I can think of to stop people whose tickets are refunded from not being able to get a ticket for the other days, is if a batch of tickets were somehow made available to only those people for, say, a week after refunds have been issued. I've no idea if Eventbrite can handle such a thing: whether they can make items available to only certain accounts.

That's good to hear. I have an (irrational) annoyance that so many people dress up as Elsa rather than Anna, when Anna is the actual hero and star of the film.

Yeah, usually you can take one. It's always sensible to ask first, just in case they are running low or something, but that's unlikely.

Maybe you have some kind of split personality disorder. Like there's a Northern side of you that keeps posting. Do you ever find a flat cap around the house and wonder where it came from?

Did it have a radio in it?

If you are coming down from the North it's always worth looking into Stanmore. It's the very end of the Jubilee line so you can get a tube train (although it's overground for the start) all the way in to London. It's near the M1 and A1, quite near to Watford, much better than driving into London itself I'd say.

I didn't want a programme. I bought a raffle ticket. Well if you want to look at it that way, that's fine. I choose to look at it like I bought a program, that contained free entry to a raffle, which I didn't win. Or maybe I did, who knows! But I'm not that fussed. There were people saying they were going to buy 2 or 3 copies to increase their chances. If I had done that then I probably would be more in agreement with you.

Yes it wasn't particularly well run, but hey, you spent a fiver and got a pretty decent program out of it. Nothing to get too het up about right?

"Questions about Showmaster's Statement" Actually almost all of your points aren't questions but your opinions and criticisms. For which there is a perfectly good thread for Showmasters to read.

They're also a great chance to just have a nice sit down.

Say (for ease of maths sake) there's exactly 1000 people who want both Stan Lee and Carrie Fisher VQ tickets, but only the first 500 end up getting fulfilled. If all VQ tickets are handed out together, you'll get 500 people getting both autographs, and 500 people getting neither. This way, all 1000 get one or the other. That's the theory anyway, and I'd say this is the fairer way.

Indeed, but maybe if another 53 people ask the exact same question over and over again an answer will magically appear?

I live 200 miles north of London and im going so this is not specifically true it just requires planning and saving to be able to do it!!! I think the point was specifically about the Sherlocked preview not the whole con itself. Any massive Sherlock fans who are desperately waiting for that event, but not already coming to this one, aren't going to be able to suddenly create plans to attend the preview.

I think plenty of people feel that way. I mean about themselves, not about you.

I have to disagree. there might be trouble with drunk football hooligans especially with us cosplaying. Well, you can always choose to cosplay as a character with a baseballbat or a gun! Or just Cosplay as a drunk football hooligan.

I asked for help in Glasgow once. I was headbutted, injected with Heroin then deep fried.

I have tickets for next Wednesday at my local independent cinema, or 'filmhouse' as it calls itself. It'll be the first Ghibli film I've seen on the big screen. I'd be surprised if he ever comes over for a show - he's very old and surprisingly few people know who he is, considering he's the greatest animator of all time.

Is Sarah doing a photoshoot? Her thread and the store suggest not.

Edited: Rudeness will not be tolerated on this forum.

I like this idea. A separate queue for those whose first thought upon entering is to get a Stan Lee VQ ticket. To stop people running and scrambling to find the right place, the queue is given the vq ticket as soon as they are allowed in the door. Also, as I'm not after Stan's auto, it would make my early bird queue a lot shorter! It would have to be very well signposted though. A use of barriers to funnel people into the right direction would be useful.

The last 10 or so photos of Gigi Edgley's Saturday shoot don't have the 'add to cart' option. One of them's me

I always smirk a little at threads like these, knowing that 99% of people are going to end up disappointed (I'm mean like that). But I've just had the idea that it could be my personal number one guest choice Hayao Miyazaki, and now I'm going to be the disappointed one. Technically, he doesn't even work behind a camera.

Photoshoots are quicker so more people will now get photos than won't get autographs. Also, it will give his signing hand a rest - he would have had to take breaks every so often anyway.
