Hawkman40

I'm just checking if Lance Henriksen has cancelled his free talk on Saturday at12:55-13:40 Stage 2. It disappeared after the update.

Well shame shame shame I hear them cry...but it isn't obvious as the post says friday......Soz

John Schneider's talk STILL CLASHING with the General LEE and Dukes Photo shoot - I already mentioned this before the update, so so much for that being taken aboard!

Where is the UPDATE? the 1st post is still the old timetable....Do I have to sift through 15 pages to find it when you could have done a new post? Duuh!

It's one thing getting up at 6am for early entry, but what if you have a pre-paid photoshoot e.g. the General Lee with Bo, Luke and Daisy Duke at 11am, and as you wait in the queue you know at 10:45am that you simply won't make it through the doors?? Are you justified in pushing to the front and explaining to the guys at the door?

At Birmingham, I remember going straight in showing my QR code of my-prepurchased entry tickets. There was no queue, but a rather long one to the side of me - I'm guessing they hadn't bought any tickets prior. Can I safely assume that if I've bought prior entry tickets and have the printed sheet or QR code on my app, that entry ( once I find the right door) is quick? I heard some story about people queuing for hours at London last year to get in - but who were these exactly?

Sunday - John Schneider's giving his talk at the same time he's doing a photoshoot with me and the General Lee. Hmm a bit of Superman must have rubbed off onto him.

Where is David Duchovny on Sunday? I have tickets for his photoshoot.

Nobody thought we'd lose to Croatia after beating Sweden...until it happened

Bo, Luke, Daisy Duke separately, The General Lee group, Mathew Modine, Lance Henrikson and David Duchovny, but I suppose it's also the issue of spending time queuing up for autographs, and now with the 7pm announcement of hopefully Gillian Anderson,......hmmm another question - if they announce her and there is the option of a group shot, I guess I can't swap my Mulder photo session for the group now can I? If they do announce Gillian, it will be bitter sweet as Showmasters should have announced together.

That's kinda what I'm implying and have been on the edge of experiencing when I only had 4 photoshoots at Birmingham, so you can understand my concern.

You say "overlaps" , but some 30 min sessions are at exactly the same time as each other, and if you're at the back of the queue and spend 29 mins before your shot, I would say in retrospect that it "clashed" with the other photo session I couldn't get to. Anyway I feel reassured by you guys that I'm not gonna miss any and you've answered my question great!

Thanks guys. Well I guess Showmasters need to do a Manchester one this high profile and us poorer Northerners won't have to worry about London accommodation and travelling (+£200 min) but I know they are doing their best to cover the country, so I suppose it's up to the artists to agree to travel North of Watford

If Showmasters are flexible about the photosessions, could I go down on the Saturday and use my Sunday photosession ticket on a Saturday if I claim there is a clash overlap?

That's good to know guys. I'm also coming down from Manchester and still don't know if I should travel on the day or the night before. I guess I can only plan this when they release the timetable. Any idea when this will be?

This year, I've gone to town and paid for 8 photoshoots, all on the Sunday. I couldn't help it - some were irresistible and the announcements got better and better to top it off with Duchovny. Anyway, what exactly will Showmasters do if my shoots clash and I inevitably miss one of them through no fault of my own but due to the nature of the timetable which gets released only days before? At Birmingham they seemed stuck for time and put some of the big photoshoots before the 11am general entry which I hadn't paid for reducing the amount of opportunities to be seen to one at the 2nd photoshoot later that day. I think Showmasters should be realistic and practical and offer refunds for people who had no option but to miss a photoshoot due to clashing on the timetable - then people would be more willing to book more and take a risk.
