Again the Mods can hopefully comment on this as the FAQ does say How much are the 8x10 pictures? Licensed SHERLOCKED photos will be available to be purchased at the show from £3 each It might just be another case of wording carried over from other events being missed in the correction phase.

I think the mods will have to weigh in on this one, I've got myself all mixed up over this now

You could always go to Baker Street as I think there is a Sherlock Museum/shop up there. I've never been myself but if anyone has they might be able to offer advice if it's worth it.

Thanks Murphy, I've already bought some pictures I want to get signed but will have a look at the show to see if they have anything that takes my fancy.

Apols as I might be reading what you are saying incorrectly but as far as I am aware Mark is signing for everyone, it's just that as a lead guest he's only going to be automatically included in the top packages, not in the random allocation for gold or included in the Silver. In the FAQ's it specifically says that Benedict is ONLY signing for VIP and Plats and doesn't say anything about Mark. I took that to mean we can't get Mark's as one of our pre-assigned 5 auto's? Correct I was under the impression lead guests will only sign for the top 2 packages. In the gold package you get pre signed auto's of the lead guests. This would be pretty pointless if you could get in person auto's of them (bar Benedict). , Yes, you will get him as a pre signed but I presume as his price is included on the autograph page people maybe able to get auto's with him as otherwise like with Benedict it wouldn't be included there. The FAQ says this about the Leads: What are Lead Guests? Lead guests are the top tier guests, these guests are clearly marked on the website. Will I get to meet the Lead Guests if I don’t have a package? The expected demand to attend the event means that these lead guests can only realistically meet so many people on the day, ticket caps have been considered to meet and best manage these expectations. We have focused on these guests being able to see/meet the most people at one time, to give everyone the best chance of seeing them, rather than activities that mean only a few get to see. Autographs: Benedict Cumberbatch’s in-person autograph will only be available to those with Platinum and VIP packages, no in-person autographs with Benedict will be sold on the day. Currently all other autographs will be available for purchase on the day. Photo shoots: These will be on sale online for all guests at a later date, on a first come first served basis. So it doesn't say specifically that Mark won't be signing for the other packages. Hopefully the mods can clarify this.

I've just posted in a different thread here that I find the auto prices are usually similar to/the same as the photo shoot prices. So it's possible that they may well be different but if you go with that as a starting point it'll give you a rough idea. As it's a random selection you will be assigned it's hard to say what you will end up with, it could be all more expensive people, less expensive or a mix across the range. If you want to try and work it out you could assume you will get 5 less expensive ones, so you will work out the maximum you may spend, then if you get some for the more expensive people you will have saved some money. I hope that made sense. I've got to start my list of who I want to sign what soon so I know where I am as well.

Yes, the guests are signing as well. Autographs are not pre-sold, this is why the posts pretty much all are covering photos only. When will the autograph prices be posted? Do not take this as what it will be as obviously it's a different show, but I've found in the past at shows like LFCC and the Collectormania's that the auto prices are usually similar to the photo shoot prices. Also just a reminder that the auto prices are PER signature.

Can we offer any suggestions? What are you trying to decide over, is it how much you may have to spend on all the auto's you want?

Yes Laurab1 is correct, you get them in your registration pack so I don't believe you will be informed before hand who you have been allocated.

Murph, just to clarify but what do you mean by auto allocations? The amount you can get, who is signing, when you can get them or anything else?

It's in the e-mail you got: Once the photo shoot schedule is released - If for any reason you cant make your assigned photo shoot day, please go to the organisers booth at the event before the shoot happens, where they will do their best to accommodate you. Please everyone, you're doing the mods on here a huge favor if you read everything before asking questions here. Umm... right... thanks for the answer...? Now, let me rephrase that question. Let's just pretend I read the e-mail. Let's also pretend I read the part "before the shoot happens". Now, remember the other part, the one where we won't be in England until Sunday? That part leads us to wonder if the sentence means "before the scheduled shoot" that is Saturday and therefore impossible, or could it also mean "before the shoot you would be able to attend", ie Sunday? There IS a difference... All the love, Catarina I would suggest emailing SM and asking if your affected photoshoots can be swapped for the Sunday shoots if they have them, I think that's the only way for you to resolve this, I don't think the mods on this forum aregoing to be able to give you any other kind of answer. SM and the crews at the event are good at helping to reslove conflicts like this but there's only so much they can do if you have package tickets and can't/aren't attending on one of the days.

Nothing has been said officially so we will have to wait and see. I hope as well they can put more on as I was considering getting extra's as well but likewise couldn't be on line when they went on sale.

This was answered in one of the other threads, i'll see if I can find it but it apply's to all of the behind the camera people - they are still working the details out at the moment, if he does a photo shoot you will automatically have a ticket for it with a platinum package. Found it: http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87920&page=4 See QS's response, post number 72.

Based on other events, you tend to find the Lead guests for example will do the paid talks on the main stage, but perhaps some of the other guests like crew guests, Danny Hargreaves and Arwel Jones might do talks for free on the second. This is only speculative of course, but I would be surprised if the Lead guests in particular would do a free talk on the second stage. I agree with you, I presumed the free talks would mainly be from the production/technical side.

They won't be copies, they will be the real thing. Just like the Moffat and Gattis print the platinum holders get. ME/SM will give the pictures to Ben/Mark/Steven prior to the event to sign in their own time and they will be added into the packs. They won't just sign 1 picture that will then be reproduced if that is what you meant.

Also if you registered with a gmail account check all the folders - I wasn't getting any of the emails originally either and was religiously checking the junk/spam and trash folders to no avail until I eventually went into the secondary folders to clean them up and found one of the Sherlocked emails in the promotions folder.

Lol, just trying to help you guys out where I can if possible, if it's info we can easily help with or can link to. You, David, etmuse and Too Tall do a fantastic job answering our panic stricken questions given that there have been quite a few of them and I'm sure the last few weeks must have been hectic for you all. I think we should be buying you all a round at the event

Posted by QS http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87919 Posted Yesterday, 09:27 AM Official clarification: all talks included for Gold and Platinum.

I missed that, he's also not officially doing autos yet either as far as I can see as he's still listed as TBC on the auto section of the website.

The presumption was always that he was only going to be there on Saturday hence why the autos were so limited for him.

Sometimes slight ambiguities in wording really do make you second guess everything

It looks like she is Sunday only as that is the only time she's listed for photo shoots and she's not listed on any of the Saturday talks.

QS said above: Official clarification: all talks included for Gold and Platinum. Other than the free ones all the talks are included.
