    any lotr guest?

    in London Film and Comic Con '09

    Posted

    Karl Urban would be a great guest - get the benefit of 2 major franchises as well

     

    I would love to meet Andy Serkis, he will also be Captain Haddock in the upcoming Tintin flick.

     

    Or any of the hobbitses?

     

    Come on SM... I'll buy a Gold Pass

    Any chance of getting Alan Lee or John Howe to come along?

     

    These illustrators are immense & they have also worked on the Lord of the Rings movies. They would both go well with the other illustrators.

     

    I would spend a fortune at their stalls.

     

    Also how about some more Heroes guests or other Lord of the Rings actors/actresses. Some on SM, you know you want to...

    I think promise was the wrong word to use, but I was under the impression it would be quite big guests with the hobbits reference etc. Heck they got EWood at last years LFACC and Dom at this years.

     

    Perhaps I was being presumptious.

     

    I guess i'm a bit disappointed about not knowing if it's going ahead or not.

     

    It's natural to be disappointed - don't worry, you're not the only one :headscratch:

     

    As for expectations, everyone has them! Even Showmasters. They obviously wouldn't have wanted things to end up like this, and no doubt they were planning on getting as good a lineup as they possibly could - unfortunately with timing etc, it's just not worked out the way anyone wanted it to! We all know they're more than capable of getting high-quality guests, but it really is a case of wrong place, wrong time with this event it seems.

     

    Yeah, well Collectormania Glasgow really whet my appetite for this one. I would've went to LFACC though if this one wasn't going ahead as at the start it was a choice between this and LFACC, so it would suck if this fell through as I really wanted to go to LFACC too. I will go to LFACC next year though.

    I never expected SM to foot the bill, I was just wondering if it was likely that the hotel would waive the fee's.

     

    Well I've always figured non-refundable rooms were exactly that .. I don't know the terms/conditions of it. I'm sure you can contact them if/when it's necessary and find out.

     

    yeah, thanks, I thought there may be a possibility if the event was cancelled. Probs not though. Fingers crossed the event does go ahead though, I've not met Andy or David Wenham so that would be cool, just wish they could get sean bean or summit.

     

     

     

     

    Not trying to be argumentative but where did they promise big guests? I can't remember every last thing that has been said about this event by everyone, but I can't believe anyone would ever 'promise' something in relation to getting guests as that's not something that can be 100%.

    Is that really what Gold Passes cost? £400 quid??? My god, that's a heck of a lot of money, for any convention anywhere. I was shocked at Creation charging $400 for their conventions! I'm sorry, no convention, no matter who the guests are, is worth paying that kind of money for. I'm happy to pay the £195 for Eclipse and Lockdown, and I think that's a reasonable price for a gold pass, but anything more than that is frankly nuts.

    I know, I don't know what possessed me, i really don't. I was thinking BIG LOTR convention with big names. But still, I was crazy to pay that money. TOTALLY REGRET IT NOW. There'll be absolutely NO benefits for Gold Pass ticket holders.

     

    Showmasters, i emaild you twice regarding my attendendce and got no respnose so i will put my vote here

     

     

    either give people the option of a refund or cancel the thing.

    theres no way for people who paid for hte silver and gold passes that its worth it.

     

    you continued to promise big guest announcements and told people not to wrory when clearly there was reason to worry.

     

     

    you clearly see theres a problem here and that this event isnt up to your normal standards

    give people hte option for the refund see what your left with and cut your losses or cancle it all together.

     

    Agree with you Chelsea :)

     

    We were promised big guests, as I remember SM referring to getting 3 of the 4 Hobbits prior to the ROTK movie or something. I paid for 2 gold tickets and totally regret it now, but thats hindsight for you.

     

    I really can't be bothered waiting another month before hearing that the event isn't going to take place, i'm just getting ready to book my flights, thus I really need to know soon.

     

    What about our 'non-refundable' room bookings too, will these fee's be waived if this event is cancelled. Please let us know one way or another.

    OK instead of having loads of topics everywhere, and 'discussions' getting in the way, I thought I'd make this for people who attended yesterday - and today once you've got home!

     

    What were your Positives, Negatives, and perhaps even Suggestions For A Future Event?

     

    Especially interested in any first-timers, as I know we had plenty this time! :lol:

     

    I was a first timer, I'm going to another show and wanted to see the kind of stalls/things that were happening.

     

    I had an amazing time, the no. of guests for me was perfect, I spent over £100 on autos of people there alone so I couldn't really have afforded many more.

     

    My positives were, the arena was a perfect size, plenty of seats, great crew, the talks were brilliant, stalls were really interesting, meeting mick from MSPG and the great buzz etc.

     

    negatives, came back with a far lighter wallet, it was a bit out of the way so it wasn't easy to get to without a car (not too big a problem), I was a bit starstruck when I met JRD and Anthony Head and didn't really know what to say.

     

    My fave guests were JRD and Katie Purvis, I felt that they both had alot of time for me.

     

    All round great time

    How did it go today?

    in Collectormania Glasgow

    Hi everyone, newbie here!

     

    I'm going to Glasgow tomorrow (gutted to have missed Anthony Head though!) and was wondering what it was like today - what the queues were like and that sort of thing?

     

    Also, is the Arena really obvious when you get to Braehead - I mean, are there plenty of signposts? It's a long journey for us and I'm not sure my eyes will be open when we get there!!

     

    And last (but not least) are there any free autograph tickets left for tomorrow? :YAHOO:

     

    Thanks (in advance),

     

    Suzie

     

    It went brill, It is really easy to find, the arena is actually inside the shopping centre, there is an information point with a map on it but before Vodafone and Beaverbrooks turn right then walk down and the doors are on the left hand side.

     

    I am just back and had a great time, the talks were so so so funny and I didn't have to queue for more than 5 mins for a guest (I was there first thing though but I went back and the queues weren't too bad (biggest for Anthony Head, JRD and Robert E). The talks were great too, especially JRD's.

     

    Also its only Jimmy Vee that is free (I thought it was all of them that were a tenner)

     

    Still good though

     

    Colin

     

    p.s. I thought anthony head was going to be there on sun

    Wow wow wow.

     

    I'm just home and had the bestest time ever. I had to come home early as I had far too much to carry around and had spent loads.

     

    All the guests were really really nice, I have never been to an event like this before and it was a great experience. I'm going to another show and can't wait now.

     

    My fave guests were John Rhys Davies and Katie Purvis (she was so nice and was talking to me for ages)

     

    Thanks SM
