  1. If it helps I was in the same boat. A few years ago I wanted to meet Christopher Lloyd so got a VQ ticket. It was quite a low number from what I remember but between him taking his time signing and the amount of Diamonds / VQ tickets I missed out. 

    Luckily he was announced for the following year so didn't hesitate in getting his Diamond pass this time.

    Like you I hate photos but I just think of these as added time with the guest and they're just filed away behind the autographs never to be seen again.

    Registration usually starts before the event begins - it would be a nightmare if they waited until it opens, but there's no times I can see on the website so can't advise when it may be, I'd assume at least an hour or so before

    It would appear according to the DST website, registration times are as follows :-

    Event Open Times
    Friday 19th October

    14:00 - 20:00 (Registration Opens: 10:00)

    Saturday 20th October

    09:00 - 18:00 (Registration Opens: 08:00)

    Sunday 21st October

    09:00 - 18:00 (Registration Opens: 08:00)

    This is on the tickets page....

  3. So I know this is going to make me sound stupid so I apologise....

    My nan recently passed away and I thought in tribute to her I would use some of my forthcoming inheritance on an admiral pass. She has always supported my Star Trek love andshe would be happy I was using it like this. 

    So now the questions..

    1) Are there any guest autographs that are exempt from this? I'm a little worried certain big names won't be available. 

    2) Am I able to purchase further autographs from guests while getting the ones in the package? 

    Sorry for the questions. Been to many Showmaster events but this'll be the first dedicated show. Thanks.

  4. So I ended up Diamond for all 4 Doctors. Spent most of the day Saturday queuing for Peter Capaldi to be turned away at 6pm when he had to leave. 

    Got there really early on the Sunday to pick up our VQ tickets before queuing for all 4 Doctors. I have to say I was worried about fitting in all 4 autographs and photos on the Sunday as I knew how busy they would be (plus I had to get Richard Wilson and Steven Moffat.) In the end I'd managed autographs from both Christopher and David by 10am.

    Then the waiting game. I stood in the Peter queue for a while without moving. I had a low Diamond number for Matt so left my brother in the Peter queue while I got Matt sorted. Then back to Peter. he then went for all his photo shoots, talk, lunch etc so I got my 4 photos done.

    Back to Peter's queue at 4pm and that's where I stayed until I finally got my autograph at 6.20pm.....

    Long day with a few stresses but I have to say, worth it to get all 4 Doctors (and I met them in order - 9, 10, 11 & 12 weirdly....)

    You're so lucky you've got to meet John Hurt. I had to meet him, but sadly he passed away before his scheduled appearance at one event and I never had the chance.

    Oh I know how lucky I was. Queue was mental to meet him but made sure I wasn't leaving until I had his autograph. 

    That's why I had to get the DP for Christopher. One day and 1st convention it was a no brainer.

    Wow the DPs still haven't sold out yet, was under the impression they had lol

    Going to be making an extra attempt to meet this guy, so will end up getting the DP .now I have decided to attend the event. Think if I manage to meet him I'll of met Doctors 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 (Would love it if you can somehow managed to announce both 10 and 11, especially 11 he was my favourite haha) Great guest, look forward to meeting him.

    I'm with you Sassy. I've met 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and War (plus 1st if you count David Bradley.) Got the DP for both Christopher and Peter so will just be missing 10 & 11...... One day.
