I'm not sure what you mean with "stops before the main queue"? The way it has worked at the Centre was the designated queue was being let in, escorted to the signing area and the tickets were handed out at the signing area. There were reports last year that for Nimoy the door was just opened and the line was told where to go. I wasn't in that line, so I am only going by word of mouth there. I can't see tickets being handed out at entry, that would cause quite a backlog. It has always been at the signing area. Once you have a VT you come back later, yes. Attendees standing in the main line are not supposed to join this line once it's being let in. If you see someone doing it, please alert the crew and the queue jumper will be dealt with. I was at the event last year to see Leonard Nimoy on the Sunday, we queued outside until about 30 minutes before the event, then the doors were opened a few minutes before the main opening time allowing us to form an orderly line leading up to Mr Nimoy's signing area. As the show opened we were given VQ tickets at the front of the line and then dispersed to make our way around the event.

I have only missed 2 English events since SM started (CM1 and CM London 1) one due to not knowing of it and the latter due to illness and they are the only events I recommend to anyone I know. The other major events I can easily miss, either because they concentrate too much on gaming and Japanese culture, neither of which interest me, or because they have the same guests event after event, ususally at the same spot in the same hall. Keep up the great work, and I'll continue to worry my bank manager.

If they do get her we have to hope she'll sign for more than a couple of hours.

Guest Price Estimates
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to autograph_fanatic's topic in Autographica 14
When it comes to General Stafford I think most people would be happier paying the requested fee, knowing that the money goes to a good cause than paying a dealer later with only them benefitting. And I say this as a dealer myself. -

I would happily part with lots of cash for: Ken Dodd David Tennant Christopher Eccleston Colin Salmon Samantha Bond John Cleese Eleanor Bron More to come when I've thought about it. -
Kung Fu star Carradine found dead
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to SciFiMAD's topic in General chat
I met him a couple of times in the last couple of years and on both occasions he was mumbling and incoherent, but he did at least show up to events to meet his fans. The guy did have a few personal issues but as has been said by his representatives, he just didn't come across as someone who'd deliberately take their own life. I hope his family can clear up the mystery surrounding his death. On the other hand, if the guy did do a Hutchence, it will only increase his status as a legend. RIP and thank you for taking time out to meet us. -
what works and what did not work
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to showmasters's topic in Collectormania 15
I haven't had time to read through everything but can anyone tell me what happened to Nicholas Parsons on Saturday? -
I've always found it beneficial to go on the Friday if the big guests are signing, in this case you'll probably find it a whole lot easier to meet people like Ben Browder and Leonard Nimoy, plus it gives me more time on the other day I attend to concentrate on what I class as my B-list guests, mostly the Doctor Who guests or some of the less well known Star Wars guests.

Confirmation Appreciated
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to trekkie101's topic in Collectormania 15
At an appearance by Leonard at another event 4 years ago he was happy to have his photo taken while signing but would not pose with people as he was too busy. As a general rule I'd say ask the guest anyway, I usually find if you're polite and there aren't too many people behind you they are happy to have a quick photo taken. -
Boy, we could really do with a guest....
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to lukeowl's topic in Autographica 14
I've a feeling they may be waiting for C15 to make the first announcement, in the past they've used events like it as a launch platform. My fingers are crossed for some great names to be announced. -
As was frequently mentioned at the time, the problems weren't so much with Shatner himself but with the management/agent working with him. On the Saturday when I first met him I was pushed through his line by one unnamed woman (JCB) telling me not to hold up the line, despite there being no-one in front or behind me, and then having the items I wanted signed taken by said woman, handed to him for signing and then handed back. I did at least get a hello out of him. On the Sunday I went back again with both my parents who also wanted to meet him. He shook hands with me and my father, thanked us for coming to meet him and apologised for the fact that the signatures were a little hurried as he had a plane to catch and we were just about the last people through. I'd be interested to meet him again if he didn't have the pushy assistants helping him on the day allowing him more time to be the polite gentleman he was on that Sunday.

I get the same message, I thought it might have been my new security system playing up. -
Latest Guest Naoko Mori
UserFormerlyKnownAsMondasant63 replied to showmasters's topic in Collectormania 15
Fantastic guest, I really don't care about the cost of these events when the line up is of such high calibre. -
I know it's a little early to ask, but I have to book my holiday times for the second half of the year very soon and I could do with knowing the dates of Collectormania 16 if they're known. Thanks for any help given.

If at all possible then Angela Lansbury, Ken Dodd and John Cleese would top my list at the moment.

I loved watching this show and would be really pleased to meet any of the cast.
