touchthesky Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What did you make of them? I liked mine. Only cost me £1 though. I think i would have been miffed if I had paid a fiver. It just wasn't what I expected. I think wee write ups on all the guests would have been nice? Just a page or a half page for smaller guests each? Would give you the opportunity to have it signed by multiple guests then :) be a nice keepsakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I paid £5 ( our group paid £20 as 4 of the 6 bought one only in the hope of winning a prize ) let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar6662 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 They were giving them out for free at the end of Sunday. Obviously no chance of winning anything but felt they could have been included with gold pass considering how much those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy-bot Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I was one of the suckers that Showmasters managed to get £5 out of for the programme, apparently after they cut the price to £1 they then started handing them out for free! It just topped off the feeling of being completely swindled by them.The actual content of the programme was interesting though and the £5 wasn't too bad considering how expensive some programmes are at other events/shows for less content. The lack of schedule and layout was a bit annoying though as that's the main reason we brought one, but I'm assuming they had to get them printed before it was confirmed? Also yes, would have been great to have some write ups on the smaller guests as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelbacchae Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I got mine on Friday when I just went to take a peek before even changing into my costume. They were selling them outside walking around. What comes to programme itself, I was a bit disappointed. I had hoped it would have schedules and other useful information. Instead it was just a commercial for different shows.

They were being sold at the organiser's table immediately as you entered the hall in EC2. and that organisers table was the one I asked where I could find out where the raffle winnings numbers would be announced and where prizes could be picked up ( asked on Friday and Saturday ) and nobody there knew the answer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinzz Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 we didn't actually see them..or find them..or saw anyone with them on Saturday... we were talking amongst ourselves that we found it strange they weren't there...when we spoke to a blueshirt, she had no idea where they were either we think they temporarily went missing as we passed the door barriers...or they're just some sort of myth people hear about but never actually see Are the programs actually Chupacabras?

Wall_E Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Im a little shocked that we still haven't had any information at all about the programs raffle. Im hoping they will let us know sometime soon though as I paid the £5 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacAndy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) I paid £5 for one as soon as we joined the chaos on Saturday expecting it to have a map or something. Really wish I hadn't spent that much on them, especially when I and my friends got one each on Sunday evening for nothing.

Also yes, would have been great to have some write ups on the smaller guests as well! Has to content with last minute cancelled guests too though, you don't want write-ups for massive guests no longer attending. Do many of the cancelled feature on the front cover image? Of course a schedule could just be added as a photocopied insert at the last second. Even if its just a printout from a website list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2014 As someone who wrote a few articles in it, it was a deliberate choice to not be too specific re: guests just in case they did cancel, but rather do overviews on shows and mention them in passing. Seemed like a less risky angle to take :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v.pearson Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I asked at the venue, the organiser's booth, and apparently all the prizes were claimed over the weekend! I have read comments on here somewhere that some of the winning numbers were still laid on the table and so people were rifling through them to find them and win...and that the 'talk' session thing was a joke...think it's in the comments thread x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
