I thought it was great. Not busy like London and guests had time to talk. Nothing felt rushed. Queues were never massive although still had one idiot trying to queue jump. Very relaxed. Came away happy. I agree probably need a few more guests but after London this made a nice change. Plus it's only 25 minutes from my house so will be back next year.

Amanda Wyss is going I believe. Met her at Sheffield and she's just so lovely. Met Jennifer Rubin and Robert Rusler at London too and they are great. Think RR is filming in Germany right now?

Just met him at Sheffield and he was fantastic. Got a couple of autos and a photo shoot with him. I mentioned on another post on the forum I bumped into him near his desk as I was leaving and he was just walking about stretching his legs I think and we ended up chatting for a while. Really nice guy. One of my heroes too and he really didn't disappoint. Ask him about The Victim that he directed. If you can also check out The Divide. I watched that before I went and we had a chat about that too.

Everyone has mentioned all the SW guests I'd also like to see in addition I'd definitely want to meet Robert Englund again. Michael Biehn was just great, I really enjoyed talking to him and Amanda Wyss was so sweet and lovely both would be great guests again. I'd like to see more Elm Street people personally especially Heather Langenkamp, Mark Patton, John Saxon, Marshall Bell and Lisa Wilcox. Wes Craven would be fantastic and would love to go to one of his talks and q&a's. More Game of thrones as well. Battlestar Galactica guests also would be great.

I got a vq ticket number 9 just after I arrived and the queue did take a little while. Had my auto by 10.15.

Just before I was leaving I noticed him just stood on his own so I went over and thanked him for the photo we'd had earlier and the autos and we ended up having a really good chat for about 15/20 mins. Nicest bloke ever but it was very surreal to be just chatting films with Michael Biehn in Sheffield! Top guy.

Is there usually a floor plan released for Sheffield?

Not your fault. Just disappointing that had I known there was even the risk the pass wouldnt avoid vq I would have been happy to have lost the 25 quid. From my view I've bought a diamond pass and bought entry to 2 consecutive events and still may not get my auto which is the one thing I wanted unless I don't see other guests I'd planned on. We will see what happens.

Well considering people got free entry (15 pound) and 25 quid back that makes 40 quid. Id already paid my 15 pound entry so in reality with just 25 refund i am only 10 better off and paying for the auto again now at 20 so actually -10! I didn't particularly mind this as its one of those things but I would have hoped that if you couldn't get your auto you would have at least kept the benefit of the pass. I wish I hadnt said I'd already paid entry at Sheffield now and not to clip mine and just took the hit on the fact I'd already bought entry and thus guaranteed my pass would avoid the vq but I took their advice on what to do on the day. Bit disappointing really and unfair on those who had pre-booked tickets at Sheffield. I wasn't offered the choice of having my "pre-bought" entry refunded.

Thanks QS. My question was slightly different. As I had already booked and received an early bird entry tickets to Sheffield as I have photoshoots booked there already I was just given the refund and had my pass clipped. This is fine I don't mind paying for the auto again as I got a refund on Sunday. What I would like though is the benefit of the diamond pass in guaranteeing I will actually get my auto (basically avoiding VQ). I can only attend Saturday and cannot attend any other event. Will the office confirm that? Cheers

Thinking of coming on the Sunday now. Can you buy Sunday entry tickets on the Saturday at the venue?

All the talks are free unless stated... Last year you just sat on the chairs of the arena, there was an Area which was sectioned off for the talks. No need for tickets. Hope this helps. It does indeed. Thank you!

Were tickets on sale in advance for the Michael Biehn talk? I don't remember seeing those? Can you book on the day. Ive got time free with BDW cancelling but the online store is now closed?

Oh dear. Hope he gets well soon. Thats a real shame.

That's a real pity. Hopefully Michael is still attending!
