NOES86 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I attended yesterday but never had time to see, what was the Hogwarts prop? Also, I'm thinking of going to Sheffield next month but I'm just curious to know how busy this con is compared to London and Collectormania in Milton Keynes?

Spacecadet is here Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I attended yesterday but never had time to see, what was the Hogwarts prop? Also, I'm thinking of going to Sheffield next month but I'm just curious to know how busy this con is compared to London and Collectormania in Milton Keynes? London tends to the busier of all events, it attracts many over seas visitors, Where MK and Sheffield tend to be more local fans, so less Chaotic and much more relaxed than London. I wanted to see the Props as well, but it was open only for Diamond and Gold... Poor crew never knew what hit them.. All 500+ Diamond and 500+ Gold wanting their photo which was included in their price.. Why did no one see that coming is beyond me.... Especially when people on the Forum are writing things down adding up the prices to see if the value adds up and how much they are paying over the odds....

NOES86 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I bought entry tickets on the day for MK. I know you can't say for definite but can you normally buy entry on the door for Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I wanted to see the Props as well, but it was open only for Diamond and Gold... Poor crew never knew what hit them..

Especially when people on the Forum are writing things down adding up the prices to see if the value adds up and how much they are paying over the odds.... Not all 500+ Golds. I didn't notice that a free prop photo was included in the price - oooops! Probably a good thing by the sounds of it... I think it would be fairer to not have that next time. While I love a freebie, the prop shoots are the sort of thing that should be available for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxias Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Props were not included in the Gold Pass - it was just we were told we could use our photoshoot vouchers on the props. Whenever I went to any of the prop shoots they were deserted - never a queue there except for the first 5 minutes. Maybe you only turned up when the BTTF cast and/or Sigourney were doing their cast/prop photos? The Hogwarts one was a green screen so you ended up superimposed in front of the snake door from Chamber of Secrets. It came out quite nicely :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had a Diamond Pass but couldn't get the Hogwarts prop photo - sad but it was at the same time as my talk or photo shoot. Harry Potter and Neve Campbell was always overlapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemisstrouble6179 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I went to Sheffield last year and had a great time. I bought my ticket in advance - early bird ones and it was great managed to get all the autos I wanted before standard entry came in because it wasn't crowded. If I remember correctly everything was separate - guests in one part photos in another etc ... Think this kind of layout would work better for London.

D4vem88 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I got a few prop shoots on Sunday, not the Hogwarts one though. There wasn't much of a queue, only for the tombstone because people can't read the schedule and wouldn't move out of the way despite their prop & guest shoot being in half an hours time.

ARTPOP Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The Hogwarts prop shoot was pretty bad tbh, it was worth a miss. It was a green screen with a really low quality Chamber of Secrets image imposed behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccheetham Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I had a hogwarts shoot. it was in-front of a green screen and when you got the photo it looked like you were standing in front of the door to the chamber of secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
