lams9999 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Bet Maggie's gone up because Jorge was charging more! My feeling too. I was considering meeting Jorge again but since he won't probably allow posed pictures, I'm definitely going to save £20 on him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarejonno Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'm shocked at both Jorge and Maggie charging £20. Jorge I can kinda understand coz he's in it a lot. I met Jorge at Gmex for £20 but wouldn't pay that again as he wasn't the chattiest man ever, but for £15 I probably woulda done. Will still meet Maggie tho and not moan on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie79 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Good to know the Atlantis girls are still only going to cost me £90 It's all pretty much going to be the same as expected for me. Although a few guests have gone up, some have gone down that I'll be meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 i also noticed maggie's price has gone up but on the other hand elijah's price has dropped by £5 which is a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crostini Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 They have changed, i heard Elijah was going to be £25 but now they've dropped a £5 off so thats a bit of luck. but i'll still take £30 jst in case i always take a few extra pounds jst in case a guest does put there price up like a certain Mr Burton at Collectormania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not too many ppl possibly. but you can only try on the day... try to be among the earliest in though, cuz anyone busy enough won't have posed photos throughout the day, but might have them for the first 30 mins/hour. might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Bem Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Roger Lloyd Pack £10 Sweet! Will definetly meet him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarejonno Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Jorge had a sign at Gmex saying 'no posed photos' but we met him at around 3pm and he let us, not sure how it was earlier in the day but he wasn't overly busy. I think the price put a lot of people off, I woulda got 2 things at £15 but for £20 just the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manbeast Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I hope Jorge and Maggie will do a posed photo, I aim to get there before opening so i should be able to get one before they get really busy surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 21, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well the Lost guests are coming from a long way away, and are in arguably the most popular new TV show of the last couple of years, so a high price is expected especially considering how much they get paid per episode etc I think £20 is reasonable enough right now. I mean we pay £10-15 for people who have been in stuff for a few seconds sometimes :) Of course it's all relative to what your interest is, what you like and what you collect! I hope Jorge and Maggie will do a posed photo, I aim to get there before opening so i should be able to get one before they get really busy surely? Depends if they WANT photos or not, it could be a personal preference, but just check the ends of the queues for signs saying whether you can or not.

Keeper Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I hope Jorge and Maggie will do a posed photo, I aim to get there before opening so i should be able to get one before they get really busy surely? some guests will generally object, as they don't want to be in photos. and 'before opening' may not get you in quick enough.. remember that there's a thread where the votes are being counted for who's intending to arrive when - a large number intend to be there before 8AM, yet the show only starts at 9 (on saturday, and 10 on sunday) ok, so not all of them are goin for jorge - but you can bet that a decent number probably will. my advice - aim for around 7:30 (unless you're after elijah, in which case thats the latest you should be there by ) its been noted somewhere (by Too Tall) that posed photos aren't allowed after 700 tickets have been given out - regardless of what number the queue is actually at. this is to allow for everyone to have a better chance of gettin through the queue. so you might even stand a better chance closer to the end of the day, if its really quiet.

hobbitlover Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Maggie £20 I've shocked but then I thought Elijah would be £25 so I guess it's worked out ok for me because I budgeted for 25 but I still think £20 is too much for Maggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 £20 for Maggie !!! and £20 for elijah is brilliant , she not even as half as famous as Elijah she should be £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkangel Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 No surprises for me i roughly guessed how much all the guests i wanna meet were so im happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 21, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2006 £20 for Maggie !!! and £20 for elijah is brilliant , she not even as half as famous as Elijah she should be £15. It doesn't work on "how famous" they are though does it? It makes sense for Lost guests to be the same price I think, unless they're a guest star. The role of Shannon was never a guest one. If people are willing to pay £15 for a bit part LOTR background actor or a Star Wars one (which happens a LOT) then £20 is reasonable for a recent successful actress. I'm more than happy to pay it myself as I love Lost. You can't really COMPARE guest prices because it never works out. Some people don't think Carrie's worth £25 when her main 'thing' was so many years ago, but to others it's one of the most important movies EVER so there ya go .. some think LOTR was an overhyped piece of crap and wouldn't wanna pay £20 for Elijah!

Victor Van Dort Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 i also noticed maggie's price has gone up but on the other hand elijah's price has dropped by £5 which is a bonus Oh yes. I was expecting to pay less for Maggie, and more for Elijah, so it still works out the same. £20 for Elijah is a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffin Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 For me I am mainly only interested in Stargate and Atlantis so they were how I expected them to be priced. I think £20 for Elijah is cheap... same with Alan at £15 I love Alan hes done some pretty good movies But anyway arent complaining just how I expected them tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisma Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I like Lost but i still think shes expensive think i may only get 1 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SciFiMAD Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 remember that Jorge only did one day at GMEX explaining the NO posed photos as the start to make sure if got to meet every one but by the end of the day he was allowing them and i got one so i would think as he is doing two days now he would allow them.

Manbeast Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If you got an autograph early when he isnt doing posed photos and went back when he didnt have a que, do you reckon he'll let you get a photo taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT IS UP TO THE GUEST. and if the guest doesn't want photos, they're not gonna do them at any point of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptalbertwesker Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) i didn't have enough money at LFCC!, so got a photo with levar burton at the end of the day, but brent spiner wasn't doin photos without an auto. Just pretty much a question directed at anyone who has been to conventions previously.. but does that happen often? Guests not doing photos without an autograph.. I know it really depends on the guest an all.. but just wondering if many other guests have done that in the past..
