  1. Last year, I had a few diamond passes. Michael J. Fox was the only one where I can remember being assigned an autograph day. This was Sunday, although I was actually able to get his autograph on the Friday. For the others, I got my autographs when I wanted, and simply joined the back of the autograph queue when I wanted to. So, I wouldn't worry personally. From my experience of attending SM events with a gold pass and/or a diamond pass, it has been extremely rare that I have experienced any issues, and where issues have arisen, these have been completely out of my control (e.g. a guest getting ill and cancelling on the day).

  2. It is also worth noting that there may be some photoshoots when those with gold tickets are not called as one group. Last year, given the significant number of people with gold tickets, gold ticket holders with Batch 1 were called first for some photoshoots, then golds ticket holders with Batch 2, then golds ticket holders with Batch 3, and so on. After all gold tickets holders had been called, it then started again with standard ticket holders with Batch 1 being called, etc.

  3. A bit more detail on the process last year. When getting an autograph with a diamond pass, I had to present my diamond pass to the crew at the guest-specific sales desk in their autograph queue. The crew member gave me an autograph ticket for the guest and then used a hole puncher on my diamond pass to show that I had received my included autograph. At the same time, I was able to buy extra autographs (except for Michael J Fox where this was clearly advertised in advance). My understanding is that the usual limit of 5 per guest was in place for the other guests, although I didn't buy that many extra autographs myself.

    I feel Stephen Amell as a diamond pass is a must now...PLEASEEEEEEEEEE SM

    This badly needs to happen.

     

     

    Stephen Amell would be an amazing guest for LFCC, although as the next season of Arrow is likely to have started filming, I think SM would need to work miracles to get him. I hope I'm wrong though.

  5. I also look forward to Showmasters surprising us with guests that no other conventions have managed to get!


    Any of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and/or Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones would be a dream.


    Also, any other starring cast from the shows in my previous message, or any of the following shows, that haven't previously done a Showmasters event would be great.


    Arrow; Better Call Saul; Black Sails; Breaking Bad; Constantine; Dark Matter; Dominion; Falling Skies; Fear the Walking Dead; Fringe; Heroes; Legends of Tomorrow; Lost; Lost Girl; Mr. Robot; Narcos; Orphan Black; Outlander; Penny Dreadful; Sense8; Sherlock; Sleepy Hollow; Spartacus; Supernatural; The Flash; The Last Ship; The Man in the High Castle; and Zoo.

  7. I bought a Gold pass as soon as it went on sale as it has been essential for me the last three years given how big the event is now.

     

    Although I only want four guests at present (and have diamond passes for two of them), I trust that Showmasters will be adding many more great guests to the line up between now and July!

  8. As far as I know there is no priority queueing for Diamond Pass for these shoots. It was never mentioned in the Diamond Pass listings either.

     

    I'd be really grateful if you could ask Too Tall to consider arranging this. Many of the props appear to only be available for around an hour per day or less, and as these shoots are generally one of the cheapest activities on offer, I expect these all to be very busy.

  9. Diamond Passes

     

    Included photo shoots: You'll be called first, in pass number order.

     

    Michael J Fox, Sigourney Weaver & Bill Paxton These guests have photo shoots on Saturday and Sunday, Batch 1 will be called on Saturday and Batch 2 will be called on Sunday. If you cant make the day assigned to you, please talk to the crew and they will look at moving your day.

     

    Other photo shoots with the guest you have a Diamond pass for: You'll require a ticket for the photo shoot. You'll be called first in pass number order.

     

    Included autographs: You can join the queue anytime it is open. When queues first open we may need to call Diamond passes in pass number order to stop the queue getting too long.

     

    Michael J Fox Will be called in pass number order. This will mean that Batch 1 will be called on Friday and then again on Saturday. Batch 2 will be called on Saturday and then again on Sunday. If you cant make the day assigned to you, please talk to the crew and they will look at moving your day.

     

    Included talks: You'll be called first in to the hall in pass number order.

     

    Hi Jason,

     

    Thank you for once again arranging such an amazing event - the last two summer LFCCs have been very special but I think this year's LFCC may be the best yet!

     

    As a long-standing customer that buys many autographs and photoshoots at each event that I attend, I do have a bit of feedback regarding how the priority is determined for Diamond Pass guests that I hope you will consider.

     

    1.) The current prioritisation process means that having a Gold Pass has no impact on your priority. As £225 is not a small amount of money, and if there is going to be a move to more Diamond Guests at future events, I would encourage that you revisit this and offer priority to those with a Diamond Pass AND a Gold Pass over those with only a Diamond Pass for both autographs and photoshoots other things being equal.

     

    2.) More generally, for each activity, I think priority should be determined more by what other activities a Diamond Pass needs to do in that time and then who are going to be the most busy at the event rather than the order in which they purchased a Diamond Pass. In particular:

     

    - One of the main benefits of a Diamond Pass is having a good seat at the included talk. So, where a talk included in one Diamond Pass overlaps with an autograph or photoshoot session for another Diamond Pass, I would encourage you prioritise those with both Diamond Passes at the autograph / photoshoot session.

     

    - Even where there are no clashes, I would encourage you to offer the most flexibly to those who are going to be the most busy at the event. I think this is particularly important where Diamond Pass guests only have a short time window for autographs or photoshoots.

     

    As an example of this, let's take the Michael J Fox Diamond Pass. He has an autograph session on Friday afternoon. It is highly unlikely that there will be many people - if any - that have bought his Diamond Pass and are attending purely on the Friday. So, it would make sense to me to put those though on the Friday afternoon who are going to the busiest on Saturday and Sunday, and those with other Diamond Passes that have important classes (e.g. those with a Sigourney Weaver Diamond Pass, since the Aliens Talk and Michael's Saturday autograph session significantly overlap).

     

    I would suggest that a practical way to prioritise would be the number of Diamond Passes that an attendee has and if they have a Gold Pass. So, in the unlikely event that they have six Diamond passes and a Gold Pass , they would go through first; and so on.

    I realise that it may be too late to make any changes for this year, but please can you think about this for next year.

     

    Thank you.

  10. Hello,

     

    The queues for popular prop shoots have often been extremely long at previous LFCCs, and I can recall having to queue for absolutely ages to get the free prop shoot that was included with my gold pass several years ago.

     

    Given that we have already paid a premium price, are arrangements being put in place to ensure that those with a Diamond Pass are able to get their included prop shoots? In particular, will there be a separate priority queue for Diamond Pass holders at the prop shoots?

     

    As the event is going to be so busy, I am not going to have much time to spend to queue for these prop shoots and would be very disappointed to miss out on them.

    Thanks.

    Hey Too Tall. Any chance you could move Simon Russell Beale's 10 minute photoshoot in Area A at 1.55pm on Sunday to 1.30pm instead pretty please :) I really wanted his photo (Which I've got a ticket for) but it clashes with my Sigourney talk.

    I'm in the same boat too! Can you help us out? :whistling:

     

     

    I am also in the same situation.

     

    Given that Simon is only attending the event for one day and only has one photoshoot, I would have hoped that SM would not clash his photoshoot with the most expensive talk on Sunday.

     

    I'd be extremely grateful if Simon's photoshoot could be rescheduled to a time when it doesn't clash with a paid-for talk.

     

    1.30pm would be great.

     

    Many thanks.
