leejosh123 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi, this is going to be my first time to the Eternal Twilight convention (EXCITED)but there's a few things that i would like to know? Firstly i will be making my way back home on the Sunday evening and i don't want to miss too much of the event so does anyone know what sort of time we say farewell to the guests and do they attend the chill out party? Secondly out of curiosity i was wondering on average how many fans will be there, it says there are 4 VIP tickets, 150 gold tickets but what about silver and standard tickets? And thirdly the author book signings it says on the web that priority will be given to those buying books on the day, so does that mean that if i have a copy of the book at home already and i bring it along that i won't be given priority even tough i have a genuine copy of the book? If anyone know any answers to my questions that would be appreciated, thank you, see you all there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the books, I think you can bring your on copy. You will have to queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sometimes up to 1000 attendees I think if tickets are sold out. I brought pretty much my own books last time bar one which I bought whilst I was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank-you Jenjen23, im really buzzing to be part of ET6, can't believe i only just found out about Eternal Twilight conventions, so sad that I've already missed 5, it looks so much fun hopefully there will be more and more By the way has anyone had to leave leave directly after the last talks on Sunday as i have to get the train back on Sunday and i was thinking of leaving after the farewell ceremony, im just wondering roughly what time that ends as i have to book my train tickets, i need to make sure i have enough time to get out, collect my luggage out of the holdall and get to the train station, any ideas?

Welcome to the twi-family You're going to have so much fun, that I can guarantee. The most attendees we've had so far is I think just shy of 800 (someone correct me if I'm really wrong) but there might be more this time considering we have a coveted Cullen attending but that's nothing to worry about, the crowds aren't as overwhelming as you'd imagine and the Hilton is pretty big so there's loads of room to spread out. We've had authors before and as far as I could tell, no real priority was given to people who bought their books at the event, the books were usually sold at a different table or in a different room and then you'd have to queue up like everybody else so don't see any problem bringing your own books with you, just remember something to protect them from a beating in your suitcase As for sunday night, the closing ceremony usually starts at around 7.30 and doesn't last very long at all, just a lot of thank you's from the organisers to the guests, attendees and crew and from the guests to the organisers, attendees and crew lol. If memory serves it's usually over by 8ish. (Anyone feel free to contradict or confirm this?) If you're dragging luggage it's about a 15 minute walk to the train station through the NEC or you can try and book the Hilton shuttle in advance from reception which is free, but since it's sunday night and a lot of people will be leaving there's a possibility of there being no room, so walking is a viable alternative. The guests do occasionally attend the chill out party, it depends entirely on the guest though and how comfortable they are mixing with the crowds, this is less of a problem than on other nights generally because lots of people will have gone home already. It also depends on whether or not the guest sticks around for the sunday night or leaves right after the closing ceremony. I hope I've been a little helpful. I promise you an amazing time! I came to ET2 as a lonesome twilight newbie and I can honestly say that through these cons I've met some of the best friends I've ever had!! Jenjen23 being one of them ooh and I almost forgot, at the end of the closing ceremony, they announce what guests they have lined up for the next ET event!!

BRILLIANT!!!! thanks HPSauce89, that has been very helpful, it's nice to talk to people who have already experienced a eternal twilight convention, i've got a very good idea of what i need to do now, although i do feel tempted to stay the extra night on Sunday, if i can i will i don't want to miss a thing, it will be great to meet some hardcore twilight fans like myself im just as excited by that as meeting the guests can't wait for this amazing experience to happen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll meet Twihards from all over the world, me and hannah are friends with Tanja from sweden, can't wait to see her again. I think others will agree that although you may only see the ET family once or twice a year it's like you've only seen them yesterday. We always have a brilliant time at the talks, parties and even while queueing up for autos and photos (I know that sounds mad, but one little thing will set you off laughing and create memories that will last a lifetime). ET2 I left just as the last party was starting which was a bit poo, but we've stayed for the last party since cos I literally nearly collapsed after running to the train station at ET2.

Jenjen23 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Last time me and Hannah took her car and it was full of stuff, and had even more in it on the way back. I suggest packing pasta pots/cuppa soups aswell as your clothes cos food can be expensive at the hilton. there's many threads on here about food though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
