    Clarification of Diamond and Gold Passes

    in London Film and Comic Con 2015

    Posted

    Having spent £450 on two gold passes can honestly say I have no idea what we get anymore! it's advertised as the must have ticket, but I feel like showmasters do everything they can to devalue the gold pass. This last two years we have had gold comic passes silver comic passes diamond passes etc I am sorry for the moan I don't usually post on the forum and I really do appreciate the amazing guests you bring us but after all we are paying for it! and judging by the sheer quantity of gold passes being sold I can see around a 1000 vq tickets being distributed just for the golds.

    Experiences with Guests!

    in London Film and Comic Con 2014

    Posted · Edited by Kylecoop

    Isaac Hempstead Wright! What a fantastic guest so polite and happy:) got a great signed photo and was excited to chat and take pics he told me that Kristian HODOR! Nairn twisted his arm in coming and that it was his first con :)

     

    Also Finn Jones and Gethin Anthony together are brilliant

     

    The big man HODOR himself great to chat with

     

    Met Carrie Fisher and got the last personalised photo before she was pushed for time, she was very polite although didn't have much time

     

    Jena Coleman was very quiet with guests but was good enough to cut her lunch early to try and please as many fans, as there was a small mistake with time which left about 30 people waiting for her in her booth for 40 mins when in fact she was on stage doing a panel and then went for lunch I hear she was also unwell in which case all credit to her :)

     

    And of course Stan the Man never stopped smiling he was so busy he done brilliant

     

    Only regret is not meeting John Hurt it was my own fault as I decided I'd buy some lego instead lol

    Stan Lee - Signing no more...

    I had a great experience start to finish. Yes there were mishaps. Arrived just in time for the pre signing on Friday to get through the door and be told it was cash only. Show masters fault for not having chip and pin? Or mine for not thinking about this and checking first?....I'd have to go with the latter.... Because these forums have been an excellent source of information pre show and every question asked was answered.

    Silver comic pass got me to 7th place in the first queue on Friday..., so yes my stress was over. Had I thought til this point I was stupid for spending so much on a pass? Absolutely. Did everything after that point make me think it was a shrewd move? Absolutely.

    Before anyone says "lucky you if you can afford it" .... I work full time and this trip was my annual holiday for the year....and cost me a lot less in than an overseas holiday would have. So no I'm not loaded.... I just make my choices where I spend my money and holidays.

    Stan did soooooo much this weekend so really think the Stan bashing needs to stop... How many of us will still be around at 91? Let alone still signing 1000's of autographs and doing 1000's of photo shoots? And a talk? An awards event? A meet and greet?

    All this he did to ensure his last European con appearance was memorable for us and probably for him too. So let's give the guy a break eh? Leave with a great experience not a whole load of criticism. Remember the reasons we wanted to go in the first place and what the guy means to us for us to queue so much.

    Now show masters....

    1)Did they try and make as much money as possible? Well yeah...they're a BUSINESS. Of course they did. They have to recoup their outlay

    2)!Did they make errors that annoyed me? Yeah....are they gonna learn from these? ..... I would think more than likely yes. Will they make more in the future? ... You betcha they will.

    3) Are they any different to any other business? No.

    All in all I guess I. Saying I'm glad I had a pass, I feel for those that did not pre book, but we all make our choices

     

    Well said people who buy passes inc myself have saved a long time for these gold and silver passes, because this event means a lot to them/us. I think it's unfair people assume they can just turn up and expect to see Stan at anytime, and then bash the organisers who gave us this opportunity in the first place as being a joke and un-organised. Saying that I truly feel for those who qued first thing in the morning and had a low enough vq ticket to be seen and was left heart broken! but leaving the event late afternoon on sat and sun I saw ques snaking round earls court for entry and people still expecting to meet Stan Lee at that time of day need to blame their own organisation skills! Personally I think showmasters do the best they can to put on a great show and give you the options months before the event to inform people of what to expect and what would be most beneficial to us ticket wise.
