twinzz Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 simplest of Q's possibly Probably there is no autograph pack where the BSG guests are included, however, we were wondering if it were possible to pick the US film guest pack and then clarify that those would be our preferences? :) we can only try haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The packs are themed and contain random autos based on that theme. You can't request specifics sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinzz Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 that's okay, just wanted to be sure :) thanks for the quick response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 This is by no means a complaint or a moan lol, but do not buy a Gold Pass with high expectations, or any expectation in fact, of the contents of the autograph pack as if I'm honest it is normally far from brilliant lol. For me it's just an added bonus but I normally end up getting the same pictures over and over again, often not knowing who half of the people are. But as I say that's not what I buy a Gold Pass for.

Quite. To be honest I'd rather not have it but have some other value included in the cost such as an amount of vouchers towards an autograph/photoshoot or free copy of this new show book thing that's been mentioned elsewhere. All the queue jumping, inclusive talks etc is great (if you have the time to get to the talks of course) and very useful but I think with the recent cost increase there needs to be something added to make it better value as it's not really the special thing it was with so many being sold now. I thought very hard before buying one this year with the increase but it's looking like i'll be glad I did the way the lineup is building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinzz Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 thanks for all the imput... we decided against gold tickets because the price doesn't really justify the reasons we'll be at LFCC... we'll have a pretty specific schedule and with "maybe they could be in the packs" and reserved seating during the talks" it doesn't necessarily do us any good since all we wanna be is get access to the talk rooms and some autographs/pics which came out a lot cheaper if we booked them separately :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The Gold Pass is useful if You want to meet a lot of guests You want to do a fair amount of photoshoots You don't want to queue outside the venue at silly o'clock You don't want to rush (but not run lol) around getting VQ Tickets You don't want to queue up and wait for your photoshoots. For me these things make the Gold Pass worthwhile. I'm so used to having one now that I don't feel I'd be able to do the events without one. Nobody attending the current event will be included in the autograph pack so you are not missing out on anything there. It is always a selection of previous attendees and again not complaining not normally very high profile ones lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't. It is pre-signed photos mainly from guests who have attended previous events, I believe it is some from the theme of the pack plus a few non-related ones.

It isn't. It is pre-signed photos mainly from guests who have attended previous events, I believe it is some from the theme of the pack plus a few non-related ones. It is indeed. At Collectormania I received a Lord of the Rings autograph pack with my Gold Pass. I got 4 LOTR autographs (Thomas Robbins, Paul Norell, John Rhys Davies and Brent McIntyre) as well as Hugh Mitchell from Harry Potter (again), Adrian Pasdar from Heroes (again), Alice Krige from Star Trek, a chap from Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes and a few I don't know who they are lol.

I neglected to include that point because I often don't have the time (even with the Gold pass) to go to talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'll be honest and say that talks aren't really my thing and I think I might have only been to 2 or 3 in my 10 years or more attending Showmasters events. At the event in October last year I ended up having a lot of spare time and went to a talk to pass some time. but in the July event last year i didn't have time for any because I was getting a lot of stuff signed by a lot of people. It will depend very much on what you're getting done and what time you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted June 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2014 As Jonathan said above depending on how many guests you want to meet depends on what else you'll have time to do so far I've got 21 guests that I have photoshoots booked for and I want autos off them all as well. I really want to attend the BSG, McDiarmid and GoT talks but know il be pushing it with the amount of other things I've got booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wereleopard Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 For me it is because I have arthritis, a shorter q anywhere helps me. I want to get most of my stuff done on the sat and maybe a few autos if I have to on the Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
