Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted May 28, 2008 Showmasters Admin Share Posted May 28, 2008 On Saturday at LFCC we will be holding a Heroes talk. Tickets for the talk will cost £15, which will include: a 30 minute talk by Sendhil Ramamurthy and David Anders plus any other main cast Heroes guests who might be announced and attending that day of the show (all guests subject to work committments) 2 exclusive badges a free Heroes t-shirt Seating at the talk will be limited to a maximum of 500 people. Seating will be on ticket number, so first to buy will be first into the talks area. Gold passes will have reserved seating and do not need to purchase a ticket. Tickets for this talk are on sale now in the online shop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Faith Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Can anyone comment on the reason why talks at LFCC have gone from being free to costing £15? I always understood that talks at Collectormania MK were charged due to SM having to cover the cost of a venue but why charge at Earl's Court if we already have to pay an entry cost. The cynic in me leads me to think that because Heroes guests have been hugely successful for SM in the past, this seems like another opportunity to make a bit more money. I don’t mean to come across as negative but I have been attending these events for over 4 years and have noted how the prices have been steadily going up what with the introduction of photo shoots as opposed to free photos over the table and the vast rise in ticket cost between the Eclipse con to Eclipse 2.

Manbeast Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Can anyone comment on the reason why talks at LFCC have gone from being free to costing £15? The t-shirt may have something to do with it, I'm sure thats not the only reason though. T-shirts at these events usually cost about £20 anyway.

There have been talks you had to pay for before at LFACC if I remember correctly. I am sure there was at least one - I specifically remember the Aliens-Talk with Michael Biehn at LFACC2.

Quinny83 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The only question I have is what is the largest the T-shirts go up in, I don't want to give my exact size away but lets just say that XL is far too small for me these days, if I'm spending £15 on a talk and T-shirt, I want a shirt that fits.

I honestly meant no disrespect with my post and my reaction was probably somewhat based on my memories of the hectic day I spent at the last LFCC. I have always been extremely impressed with the quality of guests that have appeared at your events and the lineup for this LFCC is proving to be one of the best yet, which I look forward to attending.

Zarina Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Any chance of Malcolm McDowell being part of this talk? And will the t-shirt/badges be different from those at Eclipse? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted May 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'd say no, based on the 'main cast' thing they said .. plus as there's gonna be more talks, I'd assume if he were to do one he'd be better off doing a solo one Of course they may say differently ..

Zarina Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah that's what I thought too, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask and drop a hint that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme2020uk Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yes Malcolm will no doubt be too busy,and after reading a previous post mentioning 8x10s, t shirts and badges. I fully insist that these kinds of free items be provided at LFCC. I dont mind paying an extra couple of quid and im sure others wont mind either to cover the cost involved. Speaking of Malcolm, there could be a theme. We could maybe have a logo of him on the shirt. I know Clockwork Orange was a theme last year, perhaps we could do Caligula this year. The badges could be of the Caligula 'coin' We could have the assistants dressed in Roman attire. It would be a huge hit. I really believe theres gonna be a huge demand for this kind of thing. And anyone who agrees with me on these items being provided and helping to provide them feel free to post your ideas in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniesrg Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ahhhh I was planning on only going for the Sunday, but now that there's a Heroes talk I'm tempted to go both days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookies41 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ah great the talks on Saturday that'll give me more time on Sunday to do things. Are the tickets on sale now in online shop or will they be there on the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarina Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Oh and another (really stupid probably...) question. I actually only wanted to go to the show on Sunday, but obviously am interested in going Saturday now as well. Is the talk in the same area as the other things? So do I need to buy entrance to the con as well as to the talk area if I'll only go see this talk on Saturday? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :) Yes, you will need an entry ticket for the event as well for Saturday, even if you are only going to see the talk. The talk area was in Earls Court 2 near the entrance 2 years ago. But you wouldn't get through the main entry door without an entry ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure.Evil. Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Any idea when tickets for this will go on sale? I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Bennet Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah I hope they go up soon. I can't wait. I was worried about not getting in to see David and Sendhil's talk so I think it's a good idea to sell tickets. I don't mind paying £15. Well it'll be £30 because I'm dragging my best mate along.

Miss_Bennet Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What time do you get in with an early bird ticket because thats what I went for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarina Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 On Saturday at 9am instead of 11am :) I'd like to know too if the talk may be scheduled for the afternoon or if I have to buy an early bird ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
