007 spells Bond Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Have to say, and yes I didn't have a Diamond pass not all of us are fortunate enough to afford them, or get enough time off work to attend all weekend, that this is a totally avoidable error on SM part. They KNOW how long it takes, how many shows has Robert done with them? Not only that, but BEFORE the con even started I saw posts on here about the length of time it takes, for his makeup to be applied. I drove up 7 hrs the day before and after a long and hectic day had to drive 7 hours back, and thank god he wasn't my primary goal, or I would have been jumping. Now I know how poor his photo shoot is, wearing their merch instead of full regalia, I wont be getting a photo with him, and I will choose to go a a smaller con with less guests to improve my odds. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone let down by this total lack of foresight, and hope it didn't completely ruin their weekend. I guarantee Robert is just as gutted, as that guy lives for his fans, and really goes out for them. I know he would be just as disappointed. ...and I thought Lon-Bham-Lon with bus was a long trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOES86 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've seen a few pics of people who managed to get a photo with Robert at his autograph table so just wondering, for those who attended Friday & Saturday, did he have the "No Posed Photographs" all day?

collectorbob Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Even in the films, Rob wasn't always in full costume and fans got photos of Robert in his makeup and where you going to get an opportunity like that? The way I see it is that I got a photo of Rob as Freddy Kreuger in a different costume - I find that the LFCC shirt actually added a nice touch to it all, rather than ruin the experience - for me, I wasn't disappointed at all, I thought it was really cool. Rob has also stated there are reasons why he doesn't wear the full costume as well and I respect that - just to meet Rob Englund was a major plus as I've been a big fan for MANY years. To get him in his makeup for a photo shoot was once in a lifetime. Can't see the issue. Also, an opportunity has arisen for those who weren't able to get his auto on Sunday, so everything's cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorefandanny Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Done - I suggested 2 options, either let me in with the clipped pass & I refund the £5 extra in vouchers given to me, or be able to obtain early entry for £2.50 (the extra £5 minus the £2.50 postage I'd then have to pay). Both of these leave me no better or worse off than had I been given the correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotor1999 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think there needs to be a full, written statement from Showmasters on the validity of presenting the Freddy Diamond Passes at another event/venue. It would be useful for us to print out and present at the door for the venue staff to read rather than have to explain the whole situation to them verbally. I am travelling 200 miles to Glasgow's show next month to get my Robert Englund autograph that I didn't get at London, so it would be nice to have an assurance that my entry to the show will go smoothly...

Queen_Sindel Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I hereby assure you in the name of Showmasters that your unclipped Diamond Pass (unclipped for the autograph) will be valid for entry and one autograph at a future SM event that Robert Englund is attending. The unclipped Pass will be valid for Early Bird entrance. This statement has also been confirmed by TooTall. Queen Sindel - SM forum admin Please feel free to print the above if you feel it's needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Update on send in service: you can send in your unclipped Diamond Pass to the pre order service and obtain your autograph this way. Please order as usual and add the note that you have the Diamond Pass. Information on queueing arrangements still coming, please bear with me a little longer.

My diamond pass is clipped because I was basically given a take it or leave it option of vouchers, no other option. As I said I'm happy to pay for the preorder service. Just been looking on the preorder page and there's no images but has 2 options of photos to choose from. Any chance of seeing what option a and b are?Also to work out postage costs for a replica glove do I just choose special delivery? As there's no option other than flat items?

You were not the only one asking this, I got a couple of e-mails. This is why the info has been put on the forum. Please contact the store with your questions, I'm afraid I can't answer that. Sending in the glove is okay, but they need to confirm procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Update: If you have an unclipped Diamond Pass and are picking your autograph up in person you will not need to pick up a VQ ticket. If anyone questions you please tell the crew to contact TooTall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Showmasters Pre Orders Posted July 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi All I will be updating the shop for the upcoming shows later.

I was going to go to Bournemouth and spend my vouchers to get a autograph from Robert and buy a ticket. Would of done the alternative if it was offered to me.

XV84 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Right I got a reply as I saw some of you had the problem of not being notified about the access to a other event to meet Robert Englund instead of the voucher compensation. I been told I can take my Diamond Pass to a event to gain entry but have to pay for the autograph myself (which I can do with the vouchers I was given). I have to present it to a pit boss on the day of entry who will be in red.To double check if need be I emailed shop@showmastersevents.com and had to wait for a reply within two working days. I also asked for the Bournemouth event so don't know it others will be different policy but assume it's the same for the other events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
