Sportsmania Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone, Please find below a list of the prices and appearance days for the guests at Sportsmania. All prices listed are for signatures on photos. These can either be your own picture, or a photo that we provide free of charge. Signatures on sportswear such as shirts, shorts, balls or boxing gloves will be charged at £10 more than the photo price listed. Gordon Banks and Roger Hunt will not be arriving until 2pm on the Saturday, and Geoff Hurst will be arriving around 2.45pm on the Saturday and 12.30 on Sunday, due to prior work commitments. However, all of them have agreed that they will, if need be, stay late to get through anyone who is waiting to see them.

As far as I'm aware there will be Credit card machines the same as at Collectormania events. So no need for organs to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad about that as I was thinking that I wasn't going to have enough organs anyway Hi ya! Yes, you will indeed be able to pay by credit card. Just go to the organisers desk where you can use your credit card to purchase vouchers which you can redeem against autographs. There should be some sort of joke there about organisers and organs but I'll leave that to your imagination! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, Signing Corinthian figures will be the same price as photos. I'm afraid that Matt Le Tissier is only with us on Saturday. Mark Great having the prices in advance. How will the virtual tickets work? Thanks Darren Hi there, No problem about the prices. I know it's always helpful to be able to budget a bit! The virtual tickets basically mean that you dont have to stand around all day in queues, and you can be queueing virtually in multiple queues all at the same time! That means that you can meet more people than you usually would be able to and be able to enjoy the other aspects of the show because you are not just standing in lines all day! Basically the way it works is that if there are more than about 15 people waiting to meet a guest then rather than more people just joining the back of the queue and standing around waiting for ages, you take a ticket number, a little bit like at the deli counter in a supermarket. You can then go off and do something else, whether it be look round the rest of the show, or meet another guest, until your ticket number is called. Once your ticket number is called then you go back to where the guest is and join the actual queue that will be no more than about 15 people. This effectively means that you never actually stand in a line of more than 15 people. For example, you might have virtual ticket number 695, which means that there are 694 people in the queue in front of you. Imagine standing in a line with that many people in front! It would be no fun at all. However, when you don't actually have to stand there you can go and have lots of fun doing other stuff until your turn comes. We have used this system at all our other events we run, and it works really really well, both in terms of peoples enjoyment of the event, and also enabling them to meet more guests than there would otherwise be time for! Hope that explains it a bit. If you have any other queries about it please do come back to me. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just a quick one on the tickets, will each 66 player have their own queue or will it be like other events where it tends to be one queue for all of the 66 team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, Too Tall is right that they will all have seperate queues. We haven't finalised the floor layout yet, but I certainly envisage that all the 66 guys will be sitting next to each other in the same area.

This obviously varies a great deal. For all the busy guests as you know we give out Virtual Tickets so that you can go off and come back later. At around 600 we start to warn people "they MAY not get seen", at 800 we start to strongly warn people and will usually stop at about 1000 tickets. It is VERY rare that we have to stop giving out tickets. To be honest no one knows exactly how busy the sports guests will be. What time will you likely be at the show?
