hobbitfanatic Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi all I'm starting this thread like I did for last ET and please don't think I'm trying to spoil your fun this is a request to make it better for everyone. Some people don't realise that what you think might be fun might spoil it for others. E.g screaming really loud it's hurts other peoples ears. This means others can then not hear the talks. Please don't bug the guests a lot of the time guests have left the parties because they got crowded. Also by spending the whole time with them means others can not talk to them. Please remember that you may know a lot about the guests but they propably have never met you or if they have they might not remember you they will have met a lot of fans before. If you to forward you will scare them and they might not want to come to events again. Pushing in a lot of people think it's ok to save seats for their friends or to move into the gold area. Remember other people have spent a lot of money getting their tickets some even sat up all night to get the best. Just think how upset you would be if someone pushed in front of you who has spent over £100 more on a ticket than you. All these kind of thoughts for others will help make it better for everyone.

LilyLovesEdwardCullen Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 These are very truee. Especially the screaming one because since being born deaf and having 4 operations my ears cant handle a lot of noise so with a lot of screaming they buzz and i go deaf for an hour or so at a time.

Moderators DavidB Posted February 7, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2010 I do think we have a lot less 'new' attendees now compared to how it was when the Twi cons first started. These have managed to bring in loads of people that were never aware of conventions before, and therefore how to act. I like to think that people have formed friendships, and know lots of others, and how better things can be when they are calm and respectful. There will always be one or two that can spoil it for everyone else, and that's not exclusive to these events. I'd be very surprised if anything overly bad happens this time.

jazz5490 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I didn't think the screaming at ET2 was that bad tbh and I've gotten used to the guests being scared away from the parties so not too bothered anymore. As for the being "too forward" thing has anyone actually ever done this? Really cos I've never seen it happen at an ET and tbh I think the guests will probably have experienced it before even if so but I have never seen this happen so erm ok. The pushing in thing gets dealt with it happened once at ET2 and they've said they're gonna be better with the managing the tidal wave of people who go in people are called in groups of 10 through the ranks and seat saving is not allowed so really if you spot anyone doing this you can do something about this however silver and standard cannot even get past into the gold seating area as far as I have seen.

Sarah_Cullen Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have never been to a convention before, but I totally agree with and understand those requests! Can I ask something though? I understand gold is at the front, silver behind and standard behind them, but are seats numbered or anything? Is it obvious where silver area ends and standard begins? Or is it the first standard people to arrive get the front standard rows and later arrivals get the back rows? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it the first standard people to arrive get the front standard rows and later arrivals get the back rows? Thank you! From what I remember last time is that Gold had say the first two rows reserved and the rest was basically done by group numbers, so silver would go in ahead of standard etc. So if you don't have a seat reserved on the first talk of the day but once you have a seat that would be yours for the rest of the day. Correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it the first standard people to arrive get the front standard rows and later arrivals get the back rows? Thank you! Theres normaly a system in loading all the Golds into the hall first, then silver, then standard, will also normally go by ticket/group number, so the earlyer you got the ticket the earlyer you get into the hall. Also the Crew will show you where each sections are, then you keep that seat for the rest of the talks that day.

xkleex Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Yeah i have the same question really about seats. At collectormania i didnt understand the seats at all, for the twi talk, and people who had bought tickets after me (and i mean some of them must have been at least weeks after), had better seats then i did.....it was really confusing and i wasnt really pleased about it at all. Would be good to know the seats are in number order or something Im a shorty, so being able to see is always a nightmare anyway lol Edited February 8, 2010 by Team Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InYourHonour Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've been to 3 showmasters events before, and haven't really had any of the problems mentioned, because the attendees have always been very respectful. However, this will be my first Twilight con, so i have no past experience in this area, so i hope that people continue to have respect for the guests and the other attendees :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to know the seats are in number order or something Im a shorty, so being able to see is always a nightmare anyway lol For the Massive Events shows the seats are not numbered, this is only for the talks at LFACC and partly Collectormania. What mojoe and xxobsessedxx is correct: Gold Pass Holders get called in first and have a reserved section. Then silver and standard holders will be called, all three groups in groups of 10. So Gold 1 gets to go before Gold 32 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireMK Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 why would anyone scream i don't get that!! they're human too you know! I know. But some people are selfish and don't even think about how they're behaving. I hate people who scream - but they do it everywhere now it seems.

Sarah_Cullen Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thank you everyone that answered my question! my boyfriend got the tickets quite late so we will be quite a way back, but I don't mind too much as going gold for ET4 will make up for it!

gillianre Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the only thing that annoyed me at proms was the photo takers at the party - too much of the guests time was taken up with people having photos with them, even though we should have had them! I didn't really see any screaming, but I think that our ages and mental states we are a little past all that, and I'm sure one of the guests commented on how different the UK fans are to some of the others. Anyway, as long as we behave in a respectful manner the event will be amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
