Moderators neilault Posted January 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi, I have purchased the gold pass and noticed that it includes 2 x £10 autos and 2 x £10 photos. Looking through the guests announced so far there is nothing available for these prices. I know this might change nearer the time but I was wondering if it is possible to add extra and go for something more expensive? I.e. pay £5 cash and get a £15 auto? etc. Many thanks, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knitty Fred Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The event is still 5 1/2 months away so plenty of times for more guests including those at £10 auto/photo prices. SM wouldn't offer it as part of the GP deal if it was not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand it could be a bit of a logistical nightmare though but if there was a way that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 As Knitty Fred has already said, there'll be plenty of guests added including guests charging 10 pounds. As far as I am aware there are no plans for an "upgrade" - like it's been said, that would be a logistical problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverneil Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Shame as it would have made a lot more sense for the free ones to be £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggle Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I agree i am only going for BTTF and the cheapest ones are £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky114 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah this would have been a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomorph Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I regard the £10 photos as just a bonus. The price of the Gold ticket is worth it to avoid lengthy queues and great seating at talks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverneil Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Though it's a big increase from last year. Really don't see the point in them sending slip let alone paying £2.50 charge when it would cost less than 50p to send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah having been several times before with just early bird tickets I can see the huge benefits of going gold. After last year I swore I would go gold whatever happened lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 20, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 20, 2015 There will not be an "upgrade" process for these included £10 guest tickets. They will need to be used on £10 guests only, fore which there will be some by the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggle Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Still only 2 £10 people announced and they are Friday only and i wasnt planning on coming Friday. I think it would be a lot more fair it is included £15 people or we could upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's January. The event is not until July. There will be plenty of guests for 10 pounds on all day of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators neilault Posted January 30, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have faith there will be plenty of £10 photos and autos when it comes to the time. I just initially wondered if there was an upgrade feature but after thinking about it I can see it would probably be a logistical nightmare.

Loxias Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 What would have been a *much* better idea, would be to include 4 x £10 gift vouchers that we could use against who we liked. I can't help feeling a lot of £10 guests will get people meeting them just to use up their freebies...I don't think I've ever met anyone who cost me £10 (sadly!). Alternatively they could have kept it at £175, which would have been even better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knitty Fred Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Last year at both summer and winter there were £10 guests who I actually wanted to and did meet so these potentially can be beneficial for me. If they're not then so be it but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me purchasing a gold ticket, likewise the pack of autographed pictures from last year wouldn't have sold it to me either.

I think it would be a lot more fair it is included £15 people or we could upgrade Well here's a link for LFFC14 for an example http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82834&page=1#entry1837022. I think I count 10 £10 photoshoots listed on there and a further 20 with autos at £10 but no photoshoot. So quite a lot to choose from really but I only have an idea who 1 of those is so if this had been given with the gold pass last year it would have been useless to me personally without being able to add-on an amount or even use two vouchers for a £20 guest. Although I've had a gold pass for the last few years I'm not getting one this year though as it's too expensive for me and I'm going to severely limit how many people I meet but it really would be nice for those who have them if it was a bit more flexible so they could use it on people they really want to meet. True it's just a bonus but that's still potentially £40 worth of bonus that people may not use, or at least not use on something useful to them. Don't really see why they couldn't just stick 4 £10 vouchers in the pack for people to use as they prefer but it is what it is so I hope for those who have them there are people they want to meet and get photos with at the £10 level.
