Tolkienerd Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would like to see some cool behind the scenes guys: Lawrence Kasdan Norman Reynolds John Mollo Phil Tippett Dennis Muren Joe Johnson (confirmed he wants to come to a London convention on Facebook) Frank Oz has got to be a must for an Empire specific event 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmorris2504 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) this is definitely going to be a poster filling event! Love all the guest suggestions so far! Totally agree with Tolkienerd about behind the scenes people. Their work and contributions are often understated Edited November 17, 2014 by Gmorris2504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy1988 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It would be interesting if they somehow manage to get Mark Hamill not because he was in Star Wars as I don't like Star Wars *runs* but I do like him as the voice of The Joker although I'm kind of scared at how much his auto would be lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stobbs Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 That's something I don't quite understand. Surely by making people pay extra for one type of entry ticket that'll make everyone want to arrive early and queue for 9am. so you're effectively doubling the amount of people in the queue all trying to get in at the same time. I personally don't think they needed to make it a single entry time. Just pre bought tickets and no on the door would've been enough I think It isn't a single entry time, with the pre-booked ticket you can enter the event any time during the day. The show is now just pre-bought tickets, there is no buying on the door, there is no hold ups with people trying to pay on the door, you just walk in when you want to arrive. Should be so much quicker and easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted November 18, 2014 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted November 18, 2014 Kenny is pretty much welcome at any event he wants to do. a few years ago i have a heart to heart with Kenny about his future and what he wanted to do now. he was getting older and he had stopped driving. we had a very long chat and he said that he loves attending the events and its something he looks forward to a lot. when he stopped flying abroad things year again changing due to getting older we again talked. it was quite clear he so looked forward to each up and coming event,so i agreed to him being a guest at every event he wanted to be at , and that offer was forever. The important thing we saw was it was the other way around now , it was no longer what events we wanted Kenny to attend to give the show a good line up, now Kenny needed us and he wants to attend more of our shows so he can meet more of you and its something he looked forward to. so we told him that from now on any events he wanted to be a guest at he was welcome to attend. Kenny is family i personally have worked with him for over 20 years now and whatever he wants he can have. Bob Anderson was the first guest we offered this to we have now offered this out to Dave and Jeremy as these guys are our friends and they have been there for us for many years. Dave was my very first guest i booked as a organiser and Dave, Kenny and Jeremy came to the first UK star Wars con ever in the UK that i ran. we have been friends for many many years. The force is strong with them Jason 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all, I knew that Saturday only was buy in advance but that wasn't the thing I was raising. Sorry for any confusion :) glad to hear Kenny is Welcome at any show. I've met him once and would really like to do it again. He's lovely as are Dave and Jeremy. See you in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be so much quicker and easier. There was a slight loophole in that you could arrive at 7.30 and be 100th in the prepaid queue or 5th in the pay on the day queue, so it won't be quicker for those of us that did just arrive early and still paid on the day. Even the 20th on the day could be in before the 200th queuer. So if there's anyone big I need a QT for I'll have to queue up earlier. I don't think Olympia has any gates or other means to hold back earlier queuers. It could prove interesting. there is no buying on the SATURDAY only ??? the sunday we will only know near the time if we will have to only sell in advance at this time we feel there will be walk ups on the Sunday hope that helps keep that clear as Sunday has never been a issue ok :-) jason As every queuer will be equal (except for diamond and gold who don't have to worry about queuing) would you consider seperate queues/doors for bigger guests, like at Milton Keynes? Or even essentially Stan Lee in London, since he was the only big guest in that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
