Great guest.

Met him years ago at a Collectormania. Rutger is a legend and can get my Hitcher pic signed that C Thomas Howell signed a few years back.

Oh no, that is disappointing. :-(

Pass received. Will we collect something at the weekend for the ten photoshoots included ?

Met Amanda years ago at Autographica. Lovely lady, may take the chance to meet again.

So it's Brighton for this year only and then back to Olympia for London FCC Winter 2016 ?

Will there be any restrictions on days for the photoshoots for the deluxe pass or can we just join a queue any day ?

31 photoshoots and 31 autos but had a gold pass.

One of the benefits this year of having guests like Sigourney Weaver and Michael J Fox is that it makes it more likely to get big guests next year. No disrespect to those that play the smaller roles, but if I was an agent and looking out for my client I wouldn't be interested if last you had third stormtrooper on the left at your event, I would want to know what big names you have had and to demonstrate you are a professional outfit that can cope and look after my client.

Interested to see if anyone managed to meet the Diamond guests for autos without a Diamond pass. The only Diamond guest I managed to meet for an auto was Bill Paxton on the Saturday. I picked up vq tickets for Sigourney and Christopher both days but sadly the vq numbers never got up to my tickets and I was in pretty quick as had a Gold Pass.

Nobody ! I rushed around all 3 days to make sure I had met everyone I wanted. The only slight regret was I didn't manage to get a Christopher Lloyd auto (picked up vq ticket on Friday and Saturday but never got to my number), although having the photoshoot with him and the Delorean pretty much made up for it.

I find it really strange that some people don't check the information, especially when they aren't from London AND they travel with children... As someone with children I do find that quite staggering that you would go to the time and expense of travelling to an event without checking on the website the details regarding tickets. Whether I have been to an event before or it is my first time, I always make sure I know exactly what the situation is in regard to tickets. I do sometimes wonder how people manage to function in the real world !

For Premieres I guess, been there at silly o'clock in the morning, although never camped out.

Whoa, wait, are you seriously saying a pit boss touched you without your consent, while you were doing nothing that warrants a pit boss, who is not security as far as I know, to physically intervene?? I can confirm this happened. MJF Delorean shoot late Sunday afternoon. I was batch 4. We were told to start moving as soon as the flash had gone for guest before, even if they weren't up yet. I did this but had to hesitate as the gentleman kneeling by MJF hesitated (I think he wasn't sure if his pic had been taken). In my hesitation I was pushed from behind by pit boss. Not violently but enough to make me move forwards and the hand didn't move until I'd started walking once the guy had gotten up. It was happening to others before I got there as well. Hands placed on backs and pushed forwards. It was a shocking photoshoot and was obviously vastly oversold and/or trying to get it done in a very short, tight near-impossible timescale. One of the crew in photoshoot area D was hands on as well in the Marc McLure shoot in the afternoon, very uncomfortable.

When the Diamond pass idea was first floated , one concern was that I may only want to get a photo or an auto with a particular diamond guest as I may have met them before. In the most case that worked fine, as I was able to purchase a separate photoshoot for Michael Gambon for example, but didn't require an auto. The only item I would have probably liked to have got separately was an autograph ticket for Michael J. Fox for example, but in reality to make this as part of a diamond pass was on balance the best way to manage this. I think it probably did take some people by surprise that relatively few vq ticket holders managed to get autos from diamond guests, so I wonder if there is an option say in the future to sell a limited number of pre-booked auto tickets for guests like Sigourney Weaver outside of the Diamond Pass. Just a thought.
