i'll hopefully take a fair few photos myself :) i'll probably post some on instagram/twitter during the days while i'm there if signal is good. both of them are on the same usernames as i have here :)

I'M SO EXCITED NOW THE SCHEDULES OUT AND I KNOW WHAT MY PLAN IS. the GOT storyboarding slightly clashes with the chris rankin photo op. if i get out of the op and there is still space in the talk can i get in late, or do they shut off entry once it starts?

brilliant thanks, QS. :) think i've manage to whittle autographs down to 3 each day that i definitely want and then i'll just see what spare cash i have with regards to a few others. haha. :)

Guests are at the autograph areas when not at talks, photoshoots or on breaks, there are no schedules for them. ah right, ok so it's just a matter of hoping you notice they're there when you are then, then i guess?

I have photo ops booked for finn jones, bonnie langford, julian glover, kristian nairn, sylvester mccoy, chris rankin, anna shaffer and rupert young :) hoping to get to the two GOT talks too and will probably go for the other cast members autographs.

TIME TO HIGHLIGHT edit] forgive a poor newbie, but are the autograph schedules put out seperately?

it's now officially THIS WEEK. also, regulars is it normally hot, cold or alright in the arena itself. just so i can figure out what to wear...

Got my last couple of photo ops tickets through today :) YAY. when does the schedule normally come out, roughly? i'm excited to get highlighting.

Having already bought most of the photo ops i was planning to go for, i'm thinking of taking about £100 with me. mainly to limit myself. i've got photos ops booked on both days though, so if i see any merch on saturday that i want to buy but can't afford in my £100, i can draw cash out for the Sunday to buy it. (i strongly believe in fate, so if i get there on sunday and the item has already been sold, it was obviously not meant to be for me)

such sad news to wake up to. i hope he is at peace now. x

Thanks Too Tall :)

I see the online shop has now been amended - now showing £10 and not £15 for the photoshoot. Thanks for clarifying SM. does this mean i'll get a £5 refund then, having paid £15 for my pre bought ticket?...

i think i might have to make myself a list of 'potential buy on the day photo ops'. i have eight booked already (4 each day) but there's a few guests (mainly GOT guests) that i'm not massively desperate to get a photo with but would also quite like one... Potentially i might just get their autographs instead and hopefully be allowed to take a snap of them at the signing. Eeee. I think i'll decide when the schedules out so i can figure out what time i have spare. Starting to get really excited now. It's my next 'big event' on my calendar.

Eeeee. :)

I AM SO EXCITED FOR RUPERT. I have wanted to meet the merlin knights for ages. I LOVED merlin, almost as much as I loved Robin Hood and so when I saw this announcement after my holiday I cried with happiness. Already pre-ordered my photo op. YAY.

is the number at the top of the tickets, the VQ number?

Woohoo come home from my holiday to find all my pre ordered tickets have arrived. Just booked a couple more for people who have been announced while I as away too :)

oooh didn't realise she was in harry potter. used to love hollyoaks though so exciting!

ah awesome. i'm gonna fish the book out again after my holiday and have a look. stick some markers in for ones i think might work at a con.

you can have my mortgage and my credit card debt as well.

i will just continue to wreck it until there's nothing left to wreck. or i die. whichever comes first.

normally for me, if i'm travelling to an event that is on all weekend, i'll either stay the full weekend and book monday off work to travel home (or travel overnight and have monday off to recoup) or i'll travel down friday night, be at the event saturday and travel back sunday so i would assume it probably is travel that has this affect on numbers. would be interesting to see how a bank holiday effected the numbers. presumably it would even out more on the saturday and sunday since people have the monday off to in most cases.

ah. well i didn't want to presume, you see.

I got a Daryl pop vinyl figure for christmas last year they are great,My sister just bought a Dean pop figure and you can also get a Castiel and Sam figures Yea, i've seen the SPN figures online but never in shops. FP just seems to have an abundance of big bang theory ones, so i'm hoping one of the vendors will have a fair collection as i'd like to collect the SPN and GOT ones. Me too.They have also released a toy of the impala it is from greenlight hollywood yea i saw that, someone has been posting pictures on FB of pop! sam & dean with the impala

they could have a twitter page specific for use at events. if they post DO NO RESPOND on the page and showmaster just post updates on it then that wouldnt be too difficult? As Jason said, the EE network was taken down during the con due to so many people using it, so those people wouldn't be able to see it. Also there are a lot of people (myself included) who don't use Twitter. And before you say I should just sign up, the reason I don't is that I used to have one and my account was hacked and managed to upset quite a few people due to the comments they left, supposedly from me. for non-twitter users, as long as the twitter account isn't set to private, anyone can view it. (although obviously it would have to be the mobile web feed, as i believe you need to have an account to get to the twitter feed via an app. - could be wrong though?) obviously it requires a relatively decent phone with mobile web, but at least the option is still there with that. (purely posting this on the basis of some people don't realise this is an option)
