  1. ^ It's the shop that couldn't compete with highstreet discounts that was the problem. The show became popular - so everyone started sells it cheaper.

    so you agree with the auto prices?

  2. hmmpf.

    i ve a wonderful 8x10 of the liberator, signed by virtually the whole cast, david jackson and peter tuddenham included... the only signatures missing are those of glynnis and josette... and i would DESPERATELY love to attend this convention, having watched its progress since its advertisement all those months ago.

     

    and i live a long long way away, care for an elderly parent, and really cant attend for the whole weekend. one day is pushing it, given my circumstances..and that one day would entail a 7 hour train journey (each way) and great expense.

     

    but, i would DESPERATELY love this picture, i ve cherished for about 6years, to be finally completed..

     

    the moderators here have rudely chosen to completely ignore requests for info, so i ve just taken the liberty of calling the telephone contact number and speaking to the nice polite gentleman... who sympathised with my circumstance...but was unable to answer my question. because the organisers want to sell the weekend out.. not just one day, when the main draw guests will be there..

     

    this, after showmaster jasons 'Amazing' post, bemoaning the dedication of fans and poor ticket sales.

     

    so i have a 50 / 50 chance. go to the expense, make the journey, take pot luck... and either win the prize, or have the worst weekend on record.

     

    needless to say, i ll be home this weekend.

    love and luck to those prepared to make the journey. im sure you ll have a blast. wish my life could let me, too.

     

    thanks a bunch, SM

    contact me at craigwalker1978@hotmail.co.uk and I'll sort something for you if you want....

  3. I know the main reason that a lot of people have decided to not attend this event is because most similar conventions offer "two" personal free autographs per guest. The "one" free autograph is rather mean to say the least in comparison to other conventions (many run by Tenth Planet themselves).

     

    Unfortunately TP are coming into line with Showmasters (Three levels of ticket, 1 free auto and £10 an extra) which will cut done the number of their events I will do as well.

     

    In this case for B7 14 or so autographs is a lot for the price of 1 ticket - I'd of had no qualms paying that. Trouble is I priced up how many extras I'd want. It would come to more than the price of admission, hotel and train put together. I simply couldn't afford it with other events too. Same for the Hub. London events are just so much easier for me. In Devon!

     

    too right, I think an extra auto at £5 is plenty with a maximum of 2 extra... with only 110 people attending and not many people buying extra autos i think its disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats why only 110 people have signed up, if you gave 1 free auto and £5 extra this event would have been sold out and the actors would earn more money!!!! i bet you the actors sit around after the main rush!!!! these sort of rules are going to kill attendees attending these conventions especially with the credit crunch, thats why TenthPlanet went under so to speak in my view.... I'd like a reply from showmasters to explain why this rule is now in effect....

     

    sorry, rant over.....

  4. I'm not surprised by the lack of attendees. I'm 30 years old and I don't remember Blake's 7 being broadcast. This is one event I'm just not interested in (no offence to those who are). The majority of the people who attend events are younger than me so they're even less likely to be interested.

    have to disagree, I'm 29 and have loved blakes 7 since I was 15 so for me this is the cream of conventions, prefer to pay £78 for all these guest than £78 for 2 mins with John Barrowman!!!!

  5. well I've booked through tenthPlanet, have you counted those tickets?

     

    Yes - as I have to allocate everyone their ticket numbers :headscratch:

     

    Well Jola it will be an amazing event and the fans thankyou for it, I take my hat off to you and yours!

  6. well I've booked through tenthPlanet, have you counted those tickets?

     

    I emailed 2 friends who also booked as they weren't aware of it so at least I added a couple more.

     

    It will be a great event!

     

    well done!
