pjs Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 How busy were the queues for Hayden Panettiere today? Due to delays in long distance travel, the soonest I could get down to London is about 12 (which probably isn't early enough). I know it's hard to estimate if I could get an autograph or not, but I'd like to know roughly the length of time people had to wait. Thanks!

Myself205 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 she is signing fast as she doesn't speak/ignores you. Plus, her assistant (I did not ask anything) told me "only name + signature" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 She seemed nice enough in the photoshoot and had a gorgeous smile in the photo. The only thing that ruined the photo was that i was in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hayden spoke to me when I got her autograph soon after she came back from lunch, I found her to be very pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLJP Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I didn't get one but I saw her queues and they were huge. Plus going by what other people are saying, she was very rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam.anouer Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hayden was a pro. She was really polite and went through the queue's like a "Hot knife through butter" (assuming that is the correct metaphor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjs Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks for the replies :) Was it really busy all day for her or just earlier on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I found her lovely and she signed , personalised and put the dedication i wanted on my items , she wasnt overly chatty although i did have some conversation!! Hope you have a nice experience tomorrow! Edited July 7, 2012 by paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveFlex Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 She was lovely to chat to, very smiley and didn't ignore you! If you had a poor experience with her I do urge you to remember she got through at least 600 photoshoots in one go today and her VT for autographs were well up to 500, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was tired! I did tell her what a trooper she was today for managing so many photos (I know I couldn't do it) and did express she wasn't too pleased/enthusiastic with the amount she had to go through (as you could probably imagine!).

Hustler Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When we went to get her autograph she had a little conversation about Heroes and her new film shes in called Forged..... all be it it was 10-15 seconds but she was polite and gorgeous.. Forgot to add she thanked us for coming , said nice to have met you and shook our hands.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Can't remember what time I got her auto this morning, but the queue wasn't that big. The Gold Pass certainly takes any stress out of the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 She did sign quickly but at least this time I got a full signature and not just Hayden like her last visit!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjim Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I think I got "Hayd" last time but it was about 5.59 if i I remember correctly ... I didn't get autos this time as I had just too much to get through in the day, just a prebooked photo so i can make my friends jealous again She seemed polite in the photo session though clearly not entirely buzzing with pleasure (from what I read about her crammed shoot I think I now understand why). I said to her that i looked forward to seeing Nashville as I thought that was something quick and good to say, and skipped off (i really did skip off for some strange reason - if anyone had to endure that, I would like to apologise unreservedly ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mflowers Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 When I got her autograph she didnt speak to me but did say thank you, Also she had a bad back I believe jusdgibg by the fact she said that to her guard man and then put her head on the table lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emelso Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 She completely ignored me in the photo - lit looked straight through me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I think it's too harsh to claim she "ignored" you. I can't imagine what she went through with all the signatures and photoshoots plus she was suffering from a bad back. I went up to her in the photoshoot and the first thing i did was say hi, at which point I got a response and a lovely smile. Then as I left I said thank you and she returned the thanks and looked straight at me. I really think it's down to luck, sometimes you may be unfortunate to get one moment when they may not concentrate as much and the opportunity gets missed. But i think it's harsh to say she ignored you because it makes it sound like she was purposely doing it and I am absolutely sure she was not. I may be biased because I don't like negative comments about Hayden because she's awesome, but i'm sure was not purposely ignoring anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emelso Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm not having a go at her - we're all human. But I'm being factual she looked straight through me - I'm also not saying there wasn't another reason - i.e. tiredness etc but it just made me feel sad as I was looking forward to meeting her. I'm glad other people had good experiences but sadly this was mine this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I know what you mean, i've had experiences where i've been looking forward to meeting someone only to find the experience was disappointing because they didn't really show any appreciation or even acknowledge me. But it really is down to fortunate and unfortunate timings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 If anyone who met Hayden didn't get to speak to her, they were very unlucky. I'm quite a quiet person and get even quieter around people like her. I met her 7 hours after arrival, so ofcourse she was tired (and so was I), but I still got a couple of words. When you meet a very popular guest, you have to be realistic enough to know there won't be time for a long chat, which I knew. I am a big fan and have no regrets that I made a trip to London yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 She loved my photo of her and Rory lol. However what's with the no touching thing? Felt kinda Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Think she had a bad back from yesterday. Luckily I did both photo shoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanith Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hayden has been the number one guest I have wanted to meet for quite some time. Even though I didn't get to speak to her while getting an auto and it wasn't personalised I simply can't fault her, can fully understand the sheer number of people she had to get through. Surprised her photo shoot wasn't split into 2 times either (come on like 600 people in one go!l). Even her talk was badly organised and she had to organise how people asked questions herself (She was brilliant during the talk though). Considering overall she pretty much had a bad day she was a lot more polite and friendly than I would have been in her position. I just hope that she hasn't been put off from coming back to a Showmasters event in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchet1007 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 we met her towards the end of the day around half 4 she was up to ticket 600 and had no queue and she chatted with us for a few min, my friend even got her to stand so he could see how tall she was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelingforhayden Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hayden was the reason I came to this. I told her I came all the way from Scotland, she was really nice, asked how I was, chatted for a bit...I said hi again at the photoshoot and she asked how i was, as I was leaving I tapped her shoulder and told her how gorgeous she was, I think that's why she remembered me in the talk. Speaking of, does anyone know if the talk was filmed? cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveFlex Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Also seems as though a lot of people are saying she ignored them in the photoshoots, and yet the people who have had a lovely response from her mentioned they said "Hi" and "Thank you" (myself being one of them) got a courteous response and a smile from her. Remember your Ps and Qs, people, c'mon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
