Namine Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, I was thinking..I can't remember, is videoing allowed during the talks? I assumed that generally it wasn't allowed and I can't remember whether or not anything was mentioned at the start of the talks I've been to in the past. I notice that people have done though and they are on YouTube, but then maybe they have done them on the sly. Bought myself a decent camcorder earlier this year and wondered if it was worth me bringing it lol. Cheers you can use the camcorder around the convention itself, but when it comes to talks and photoshoots as well as the awards ceremony, that's a huge no no since most of the stuff like in america, when they show special clips etc for the comic con audience, they have to be careful so nothing is leaked etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverneil Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If two people you have bought end up doing a double shoot can you trade on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If two people you have bought end up doing a double shoot can you trade on the day? You mean for example Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellan get announced (disclaimer: random names that popped into my head, I have no knowledge anout any guests ), you buy single shoots and the a double shoot gets announced? You can ask on the day at the sales table if that's what you mean. It has been possible in the past, but no guarantees that this is always the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rather not leave her on her own as I am dragging her to the event For the free talks: yes. Let me get this clarified about the paid for talks cause technically seating goes by ticket number there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Carter96 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Do VQTs start fresh everyday? Say someone got like 985 for Stan Lee on the Saturday but he only got up to 900, does it go back to 0 with new tickets on Sunday? I assume yes so it's fair for those just coming on the Sunday?

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted May 29, 2014 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted May 29, 2014 Do VQTs start fresh everyday? Say someone got like 985 for Stan Lee on the Saturday but he only got up to 900, does it go back to 0 with new tickets on Sunday? I assume yes so it's fair for those just coming on the Sunday? Correct. From Section 2.3 of this very FAQs... If I get a Virtual Ticket for a guest and don't get to see them can I use it the next day? No, Virtual Tickets are only valid on the day you are given them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Carter96 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Arghh i'm sorry! I always feel bad for you when you have to answer the same questions over and over again which are answered in the FAQs and i've just done it myself. I remember reading that a while ago but forgot. Thank you anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Videoing is not allowed in the talks. Unfortunately for every rule there's at least one person trying to get around it. It'll be people filming on their actual cameras then...I suppose just pretending to be taking photos lol. As I say YouTube is full of them. I was pretty sure that there was 'no videoing' in place but never took that much notice before because it never applied to me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crew in the area catch anyone filming it is stopped, but as you say it can be difficult to tell whether someone is filming or just taking photos. To an extent we do rely on the attendees of a talk voluntarily following the rules set in place... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I guess though that if everybody followed the rules the world would be a different place with no need for police and lawyers........but then I digress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
