    yes, most popular are the most busy. its difficult to expect some really relaxed and bit longer talk if queue is HUGE behind you.

     

    however, it also depends on you and your approach. each guest will be more intrigued if you approach them with something interesting and different than most fans. for example I had really nice chat with Karl Urban but mainly cause I brought with me a Dredd helmet that I made myself in order for him to sign. With Tim Russ I had an amazing talk about music, same with Casey Biggs and Vaughn Armstrong. With Armin Shimerman, Rene Auberjonois and Jeffrey Combs I also had "longer" talk than most as well, but thats also due to the fact the lines in front of their tables where small and they seemed to be willing to talk a lot :)

    Suggestion for improving Destination Star Trek

    @Queen_Sindel, yes it was on Friday but its ok. no need for apologise, i didnt loose anything and thankfully i had pleasure of chatting with some random people while waiting. i just wrote that so that for next convention organisers keep things in better order. :)

     

    i agree, makeup show was amazing and im sure lot of guests would like to see more of things of such nature. also interesting are not only actor talks but talk from people behind the scene. it would be great to include talks with prop builders or designers, people who are behind the star trek and who helped create it. thats quite educational and fun as well.

    First of all, this topic is not mean to be bashing nor insulting in anyway towards the people behind the organisation. So, please do not post such things here, this is intended more as a suggestion topic so that certain things that where not good or that could be improved can be taken into the consideration by the organiser if he reads them.

    I will write down few things that come to my mind and i hope that others might also contribute in order that next DST is improved and even better so that everyone can enjoy even more in it.

     

    1. Lack of the closing ceremony: after 3 days spend at the convention I felt rather bad when everything just suddenly stopped after Keating&Trineer talk. It would have been nice to wrap all 3 days of this event in some closing ceremony so that thank you and good bye was said in friendly manner.

     

    2. Klingon zone: although as an idea is great it could have been more klingon no? today with all cad / cnc machines it shouldnt be hard nor expensive to cut some simple bathlet shapes from plywood and some other klingon items that are not too complex to do and with bit of paint and faux leather to make some cool props which would surely give lot of spice and flavour to overall look and joy of the visitors.

     

    3. No more gongs: although it was sympathic and fun for brief period after a while it turned into really annoying thing especially since cause of it many guest talks where rudely interrupted.

     

    4. More seating options for people who want to rest. For example on both party nights many people did want to see the performance but due to the small crowded space many have left to other side, klingon zone to sit down. especially when you take in consideration that majority of people spend entire day on their feet, walking around additional options to be able to sit and watch the show could be nice.

     

    5. Perhaps band stage can be combined with talk stage b? As i wrote above small band stage didnt allow all visitors to see the performance in proper way and if placed on bit bigger stage many people could have used the seating area both to relax and see the performers.

     

    6. Microphone issues: due to the several issues with microphones on stage B, we lost lot of time on few talks.

     

    7. Lighting issues, in the beginning, for opening ceremony and first talks on saturday morning, the light was incredibly strong on main stage that guests couldnt even look at the audience which seems like such elementary mistake to do.

     

    8. in photo area B photographers always called for people with gold or platinum tickets so that they have line privilege, however in area A noone called and when i showed my ticket package i was told to go back to wait in the line. Perhaps more coordination about this could be done.

     

    9. Perhaps opening ceremony can be little bit longer and more rich with details, videos shown, some performance, more of the show event than just quick walk of guests with hi and bye.

    So.......What's it like!

    one thing that surely lacked was "the closing ceremony".

     

    when you look at how event was going on and how many things happened, it would have been nice to wrap all 3 days with the closing ceremony and that goodbye is said in proper way both to the guests and to the fans rather than just "go home" after the Keating & Trineer talk has finished.

    Tickets

    I added a ticket to my booking (TNG Panel on Saturday) and all of a sudden my Friday night party ticket is gone from the booking. :( E-mailed them twice already and haven't received a reply. I can imagine that they're quite busy right now but I'm getting really worried that I won't be able to attend on Friday. Tried to re-book the ticket for Friday online, but that doesn't work either. Will print the original confirmation I got from them that did list the Friday ticket, really hope that'll help in the worst case. :(

     

    hopefully they will reply and if not, bringing printed confirmation to the venue might also help. There should be people from organisation on the venue that can help you out.

     

    hope to see you there Dax ;)

    [i have received a reply from Media 10, and if you have purchased a ticket for a Tim Russ Friday Photo Shoot then it is best that you contact them directly regarding it, http://destinationst...icket-enquiries

     

    Thank you for your answer. Just in case someone else was wondering cause of this, I was notified that Tim Russ wont be in Frankfurt until Friday evening so the photo shot wont be available for Friday. In my case, they told me that my purchased Friday ticket will be rescheduled for Saturday.

     

    Just small question regarding organization since im not familiar with this. Will there be some restaurants or snack bars available inside the venue itself since after all it is a whole day activity?

    are the timetables final or they will be modified during the upcoming days?

     

    I noticed that for example that a Friday's photoshoot of Tim Russ (that i initially purchased) it not listed anymore on Friday and its not even available to book for Friday. I havent received any email regarding this change so im wondering what will happen to my ticket? will it get rescheduled for another day? Anyone else has the same issue?
