I didn't mean for it to across as a negative thing, I respect and understand that some guests don't like to be touched. I was merely stating what I observed. I'm very grateful for meeting him and for showmasters for getting him.
I wasnt point it at anone, i was just stating in general, sorry :)

Tried to find my other post to copy it here but I don't know what thread it was in haha.....anyway....
I have a friend who has spoken to Wil in the past and he apparently gets reactions from most types of perfumes and deodorants and thats why there is a no touching policy. In all honestly that's a good enough reason but not one that should be shouted to everyone at a con. Be grateful he came and you were able to meet him

But where does that stop? Are all crew meant to remind everyone of every rule and situation in all areas? We make the information clear and available online and I think it's fair to expect people to plan a little bit beforehand, or if they're not sure then to ask crew. I wouldn't expect crew to be reminding people of rules all the time etc.
The card machines are quite slow and would be a logistical nightmare to be running over in the autograph areas I'd suggest.
And people already say the WiFi is s***e and the machines run on WiFi. Plus do you think to Sm will buy a hundred card machines haha

Left hand rule all round, as in.....drive on left, walk on left, climb stairs up and down on left.

Which side of the stairs do you walk on?In the UK, we drive on the left. It is, therefore, logical to walk up, or down, the stairs on the left hand side. This is polite, it leaves little room for that ridiculous dance affected by those who have no concept of logic which leaves them dodging one another on the staircase.Ive always known it as the left, but if there were arrows people would in theory follow them but dont understand why its so hard to figure out anyway! -
I take it as diamonds go first no matter what but only for the diamond gusts they have, golds next and then vqs, or just vq for diamond guests as golds need them too. If the particular guest is on to vqs and a diamond attendee walks up for them they get to go ahead as there auto of garunteed.

I agree with this entirely. Both Tricia Helfer today and Dean Cain at Collectormania changed to VQ and while this only cost me half an hour today, it meant I had to hang around for a couple of hours waiting for Dean Cain's autograph in Birmingham. Highly unsatisfactory. Make every guest VQ from the start and open the queues if appropriate. Certainly, I would have expected both Dean Cain and Tricia Helfer to be VQ and the fact that they weren't until later was an error of judgment on someone's part.
My friend nearly missed out on Dean at collectomania too as we went up and didn't have a vq, as he wasn't there yet we left, went back an hour later and massive queue and vq tickets. Which was quite high, said something to the crew and thankfully they let us queue straight away.

Wil is like that, covers anxiety issues as best he can. Same at DSTE last year.
A friend of mine who has spoken to Wil in the past says he also has a lot of reactions to perfumes and deodorants and that's why he has a no touching rule. Which to me is fair enough

What I do know is that at 2.30pm they tried to stop personalisations because Alyson was taking to long with people and they were trying to speed her up.
Why would you want to pay £75-£85 for something that looks no different to that which is on ebay? The personal touch is what you ARE paying for.
Alyson was awesome at the photoshoot and talk as well. Clearly cares about the fans.
Id have loved to have met her but i had to cancel my trip last week. Id never ever buy any autograph from ebay, i mean whats the point if you didnt get it yoursef lol

I think you will not have the same speech if you spend 250£ for a goldpass, and see GA enter before you and take low VQ ticket first.
take a goldpass is a choice to have the benefit to enter earlier and Before the GA.
it's quite simple to apply the rules / promises from showmaster : "goldpass enter first and before GA (5min)"
NOT at the same time !
Goldpass cost a lot of money
I've said twice now they should enter early. Don't gold pass people get to enter any queue that's not diamond without a vq and the only vqs they have to get are diamond. So yes I think they should enter early and if the only vqs they have to get are diamond, as long as they get in early and before ga then yes it's worth 225. I don't think they should get to go to any queue without a vq as the cost would rise significantly. The only way Sm can get guests such as Alyson or Bennedict is buy a diamond pass so yes all should get a vq cos those guests wouldn't be there otherwise.

Very early I know but when will the dates be announced for next year? :)

But its still no difference now if gold get in early we still get low VQ's and still get to join the back of any non diamond guest without needing a VQ.
The problem is we dont get in before general entry (friday we did) and golds entrance is the other side of olympia to where the guests are aq
Plus buying gold is a choice just the same as paying for a diamond pass
You get what you can afford
The problem right now is people are paying £250 for gold pass and are not getting the extra cost back (please dont say the goodie bag)
compared to general entry or diamond (guaranteed photo/auto) i feel its lacking right now.
Ive said that, they need to get in early like stated but if golds didnt need a vq then part way through the day they could decide oooh lets get an auto from ???? and if 100 people did the same over 15 minutes then ga wouldnt get a look in. At least making gold have vq they have to decide and actually make the effort to get in early and get vq's!

Why not just go back to golds not needing VQ tickets for any guests then peace will be restored
I wouldnt care what time General entry was let in then, And im guessing 99% of gold pass Customer's wouldnt care either
But then ga would never get a chance and that isn't fair. Other than diamonds it should a free for all, if you get a vq then you get one. Some people can't afford gold tickets so that isn't fair at all. Saying that they should get in earlier like it says.

Couldn't the way photos, diamonds and gold passes be changed in the future so a person cannot buy one without an entry ticket. It wouldn't be hard to make it so there is an order number from an entry pass to be inputted when you buy a photo.

If it helps Marc Blucas cancelled on the 20th and I got my money in my account on the 24th, yesterday. I got my refund email the on the 21st. So cancelled Thursday and money in bank Tuesday which I think is pretty good. Not saying that will be the same here as your bank might be different.

Had my showmasters email for refund this morning. That's nice and quick. Cheers.
