Andy M Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello! This is my first collectormania event that I will have attended. I bought an early bird ticket for Saturday 24th and a photo-shoot ticket for Robert Englund, I've been reading your forum and saw that Robert Englund is doing photo-shoots on Saturday at 2:45pm. I don't know, what to do? Should I use early bird ticket and come early or should I come later closer to Robert Englund's photo-shoot time? If I arrived at 10am will there be enough to keep me busy for 5 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you come early you can look around the stalls, do some of the free talks etc. You can always leave and come back, as re-entry is allowed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy M Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks! That's good that you can leave and re-enter! I can still get my Nightmare on Elm Street memorabilia signed early on Saturday though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah the guests will start signing as close after opening as possible :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, loads to do and even though it is considered a smaller and quieter event, you'll find it is pretty busy with plenty of folk in costumes, free talks, guests signing area and loads of stalls that are sure to be packed with at least a few items you'll love, don't be scared to approach people and get to know everyone, there's plenty of regulars here that create a nice friendly community. I doubt you'll ever get bored though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanoigrillo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 as a crew member working the shows, I find chatting with the punters the most fun I have :) (when it's not mega busy of course....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MentalHaggis1990 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Lots of stuff to do and see. Every time I go to this event, I'm never not doing something. The stalls are always chalk full of the coolest things, the people who go to this event are the nicest people and so interesting. I have made many friends during and after these events. I'm sure you'll have such a great time that the time will just fly by. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirmitD Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello! Newbie here... how does it work with the Queues? You buy a ticket at a table and then wait for a number to be called? I like to get 2 autographs of Robert Englund. One on my own piece and one on a photo.. How long would the Queue be you think? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted August 22, 2013 Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 22, 2013 At Glasgow we usually don't use the virtual queuing system as there aren't enough people in the queues to warrant it. You will just go up and stand in line. It really depends on when you go up. Try and go see him at a busier time (like 11am-1pm) and you may find 10-15 people in the queue and it'll take 30 minutes or so. But go after 3pm and it'll likely be down to 2-3 people and you'll see him in less than 10 minutes. You can get both done at the same time. But do remember that the autograph prices are PER autograph so you will have to pay for each one to get signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy M Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks for the replies everone, I think I will come about 11am and start with the Star Wars talk at 11:30! Would 30 mins before the Star Wars talk be reasonable time to get into the Braehead arena on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Would 30 mins before the Star Wars talk be reasonable time to get into the Braehead arena on Saturday? Depends on if your meaning that you'll be at Braehead Shopping Centre for 11:00, then you'll have loads of time to get into the area, there will be a good bit of a wait at that point to get in though shouldn't take too long. On the other hand if your heading out for this time then i would say it'll be very tight and most likely you'll miss most if not all by the time your there as traffic will be pretty busy.

Andy M Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I stay on the south-side of Glasgow, it'll take me half an hour (maybe less) on the Graham's bus to get to Braehead. So I'll leave my house about 10:30 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewizard Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 As do I. A bus stops right outside my house and takes me to Braehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
