Hi, Does anyone have any experience of this? I paid extra for the GS op with Christopher Lambert just because I have somewhere else to be on Saturday night, and earlier this week the schedule had the GS shoot an hour or so before the regular shoot. I had no interest in green screen, just in escaping early. Now the times have changed (or I misread in the first place), the non-GS shoot is earlier, and I'm going to be stuck kicking around quite late for a GS option I didn't really want. I know schedules subject to change etc - but if I buy a non-GS shoot for Chris and contact SM am I likely to be able to get a refund on the 'duplicate'? Thanks... Matt

Thanks. That detail is massively appreciated! I’ve been doing these things for ten years now but never done a DP and wanted to make sure I understood. Fortunately I’m only looking to get one item signed by each so all sounds like it will go according to plan. Brilliant :)

Long time attendee, first time DP holder looking for some maybe obvious advice… If I don’t want any VQ tickets, is there any benefit to me showing up super early? I have DPs for Matt and David. Can I just rock up in the afternoon and (assuming they’ve got to my batch in the DPs) just join a reasonably short queue to get their autos? I have no photo Ops in the morning, so while I’m usually there at 9am for early photos, it looks like this time I might be able to get lie ins! I’m just not clear if as a DP holder I need to do anything special..?

Apparently the team are dealing with a higher than normal number of emails at the moment. Thing is, if they’d just do as I ask and send me a list of the tickets in my name that are still valid on their system, I’d stop sending them weekly emails on the topic and just go and figure out which ones I need to re-buy.

What a mess. Totally agree with you - it’s understandable they’d switch to vouchers instead of refunds in the current climate but frustrating that they’re limited to only certain Showmasters events. I had no idea DST wasn’t fully SM either.

The vouchers do have the value on them. But when the value doesn’t match the total you’ve spent (so it can’t be that everything has been cancelled) nor does it match the value of a cancelled guest, it’s a bit tough to figure out what’s happened!

Thanks Groovy GrooveThing! No joy there either really. I’ve not asked for any refunds. Two of my guests have cancelled but they don’t total anywhere near the value I’ve been given in vouchers (and one of them is gone for March 2022 so I believe they should have rolled over anyway - only Alan Ruck should have generated a voucher). No email from them about a lack of entry ticket, so I guess that’s promising and suggests I can at least get in. At this stage I’m half tempted just to show up and use the tickets I have. I’m concerned I’ll keep having issues at the front of queues being told the tickets are void, which will slow up the queue behind me, but until SM tell me which are void I’m a bit of a loss

Hey Raylenth - thanks! It’s a good idea, unfortunately ALL my tickets are still in the Eventbrite app, including the two guests who’ve cancelled. So I can’t trust that for certain either.

Hi, Does anyone know how I can clarify what any refund vouchers relate to? Here’s what’s happened: - I booked tickets for the summer dates including a lot of photo ops - I got messages advising that the tickets would automatically roll over to the new November dates - Two of my guests cancelled - I then received vouchers amounting to far more than the two guests would have come to So I’m not clear if my tickets have been accidentally cancelled and I need to rebook them, or if Showmasters have accidentally been very generous and given me extra vouchers. I’ve been going back and forth with the sales@ email address for weeks now and just getting the same template responses that these relate to tickets I requested be cancelled. I get that mistakes happen and I’m more than happy to rebook anything that’s been accidentally cancelled, but I have no way of being certain what - if anything - has been. Anyone with similar experiences have any advice?

This is really amazing work guys. Has shaped up to be your most stunning guest list yet. Well done! (and on a selfish note, after this weekend I’ve met every living Doctor - thanks SM!)

Any idea of the photo shoot time? So so tempted but could do without creating another clash.
