Yeah true. Like I say, I chalk it up to experience - while they certainly didn't help matters, I realised in hindsight I could have done everything I'd set out to do. Hope that like me, Showmasters take this year's Saturday into account. Doesn't help that this was the first summer con since 2019, so anticipation was always going to be huge. More than the Winter 2021 and Spring 2022 ones.

I felt there was no clear contact between photo shoot areas, and no clear-cut plans in place for clashes on the Saturday. In the morning David Harbour shoot, they allowed everyone who had a clash with Joseph Quinn for the Upside Down shoot go in directly after Diamond and Gold passes. However, seems this stance was not followed the rest of the day for other shoots. I had a clash for the Alex Kingston Photo Area D shoot and the Robert Englund Boiler Room shoot. They admittedly let me go in with the Diamond Pass people (but I'd like to think me using my booming Scottish voice to help get people as organised as possible helped them decide it was allowed). However, I also had another clash between the Hannah Murray and Christopher Lloyd DeLorean shoot. They couldn't/wouldn't allow a queue jump again, so after waiting for a little bit, with no movement, I ditched the Hannah Murray shoot for Christopher Lloyd. Albeit, It turned out I could have done both (due to the insanely long queue for the shoot). Would have been nice if there had been some form of communication so they could have told me that I'd be able to do both. But, I'll chalk this up to experience.

I'd imagine Sylvester McCoy would be one. At the Spring LFCC, he asked for distancing in his photoshoots. Didn't see him wearing a mask then, but he may do now given rising numbers.

Think while masks are a hot-button topic, an even hotter-button topic will be the sanitation of the Gaming Zone. Will they require people to sanitise their hands before & after using controllers? Will they be avoiding any VR games? Edit: Just a disclaimer, I'm not downplaying the risk of not wearing masks, but if memory serves, they didn't have video games zones at the previous two Cons, so I'm interested to see how they'll do this.

You know, I was expecting a Stranger Things reference for 11 Days. But, glad you didn't. Seems too obvious.

You can always send them a chaser email. When I got the Robbie Coltrane cancellation notification, I forwarded it to the normal email address, attaching my ticket as proof of purchase. They got back to me that week saying vouchers are issued automatically, but I received my one the following day.

I have noticed that you can still use the old code for the remaining balance. But you can only apply one code at a time, so it's annoying if you have a remaining balance and another voucher (e.g. Clark Gregg), and can't apply them both together.

Appreciated. But still, I'm not one to dump on the unspoken rules. I shall say no more of other events.

Oh for real? My bad. Still new to commenting around here, not too familiar with the etiquettes.

So far for me.... Robert Englund (Make up & boiler room photo) Robbie Coltrane (when Showmasters get around to sending new tickets from his cancelled appearance last year...) Clark Gregg (SHIELD logo Green screen photo) Ernie Hudson (costume photo) Christopher Lloyd (DeLorean photo) Hannah Murray (again, when Showmasters get around to sending new tickets from her cancelled appearance from 2021)

So... can't be Hayden Christensen. Not at £25. Right?

Added you too! My user is rhistavo. My code is 088546223533, if anyone else wants to add!

Given Richard E Grant was at the Spring Con, would love Showmasters to get Paul McGann back so I can A} have him sign the Whitnail & I photo Richard signed for me, and B} I can meet him and get a photo with another Doctor Who!

Fair enough. I apologise and retract my previous statement then!
