rogue_entity Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Which guests would you 'break the bank' to meet? By 'breaking the bank' I mean paying over £100 to meet (be it for an autograph or picture). If you want you can break it up into those living and those sadly no longer with us (think fantasy festival). For me it'd be: RIP: Sir Christopher Lee Peter Cushing Vincent Price Alive: George A. Romero Robert Downey Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Probably Bradley James, Colin Morgan, Ian Somerhalder or Aidan Turner. ....or Hugh Dancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Benedict Cumberbatch (goes without saying) Martin Freeman Hugh Dancy (Probably) I know there would probably be others but it would only be after I'd say 'oh, I would have done that' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompain100 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I don't think there is a person alive I would pay £100 for an autograph from. In my eyes that is a crazy sum to spend on a scribble. I love meeting people but I have my limits, and that exceeds it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy1988 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 RIP Robin Williams Sir Author Conan Doyle Alan Rickman Jeremy Brett Ronald Howard (I loved him as Sherlock) William Hartnell (Any of the Doctors from Doctor Who who are sadly no longer with us) Alive Liam Neeson Matt Smith Sean Bean Martin Freeman (Maybe?) Lucy Lawless Kevin Sorbo Simon Pegg Being into video games more than anything else I'd pay anything to meet any video game voice actors/game developers etc.. There is probably loads more people but those are off the top of my head lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I love attending conventions and meeting guests but would find it difficult to justify paying over £100 no matter who they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRichard76 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 RIP: Jim Henson Rik Mayall. Alive:: MICHELLE PFEIFFER - I'd not just break the bank I'd turn the bank over so that I could afford to get a photoshoot with her, preferably with her dressed up as either Catwoman OR Susie Diamond, course they'd have to wheel in a piano. Adam Hughes - a geek can dream. Stephen King - oh, if only. Dennis Muren - mind you this is on the basis of Fantasy. Jack Nicholson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I love attending conventions and meeting guests but would find it difficult to justify paying over £100 no matter who they were. I could justify over £100 for Harrison Ford, on the basis a Han Solo is at least worth 10 stormtroopers Dennis Muren - mind you this is on the basis of Fantasy Only fantasy in that no one would invite him and expect most of us would pay that much for him. He was at the last event in the US and probably would have signed my books for free, except rather than go ask him I didn't want to lose my place in an oversubscribed queue to see Episode 3 in 3D Edited June 25, 2016 by TerraHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few years back I got to meet Bill George and John Goodson (by chance) if I'd have known I would have schlepped up the first ILM book for Bill.

jimmyc Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 i would gladly have paid over £100 for an autograph from corey haim or roddy mcdowell,great actors who sadly have passed away as time has gone on,gone too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1980 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) It would have to be someone who was either one off or a special event like MJF last year This year combined I will spend around £1400 but that also includes hotel, travel, food and shopping factored in as well as the guests. I did book the Sam Neill diamond pass simply because I doubted he would do many events. My dream list is Michael Keaton Harrison Ford Mark Hamill Kevin Conroy (probably the only voice actor i really want to meet) Chris Pratt Robert Downey Jr 2nd list Carrie Fisher Daniel Bruhl Andy Serkis Brad Dourif Doug Bradley 3rd tier Elijah Wood Oscar Issac Leigh Whannell James Wan These aren't all break the bank worthy but guests i would book without having to think about it Edited June 26, 2016 by john1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Just a gentle reminder: We do have guests coming on here. Please do not turn this into a discussion about autograph costs and why or why not autographs should be less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dent_1 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) £100 is a lot of money for a bit of ink but to me it is about the opportunity to meet a hero/someone you admire however briefly. Some guests are great at signing through the mail for free, but as someone who has always enjoyed collecting autographs, I do place a massive premium on knowing the thing signed in front of me is 100% legit, so I would be happy to 'break the bank' for certain people. I'll start by saying that I would have paid £100+ for Patrick Stewart, Gillian Anderson in 2012/13, Sigourney Weaver last year and Famke Janssen this year. All from my personal dream list of guests who I am very grateful cost A LOT less than what I would have been prepared to pay. The others I'd find the money for because no doubt their fees to attend would be large: - Timothy Dalton - Sean Connery - Roger Moore - Judi Dench - Sean Bean - Al Pacino - Harrison Ford - James Earl Jones - Will Ferrell - Ian Holm - Harry Dean Stanton - Ridley Scott - James Cameron - Tom Hardy - Christian Bale - Michael Caine - Liam Neeson - Michelle Pfeiffer - Samuel L. Jackson - Bruce Willis But these three I would rob the bank for! My top 3 guests who I would go into meltdown over if heaven and earth moved and somehow Showmasters persuaded them to attend: - Jack Nicholson - Arnold Schwarzennegger - Pierce Brosnan Edited June 26, 2016 by Dent_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky50 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Gillian Anderson...I wouldn't care what the price was...She's number 1 on my list of must meet guests Looking forward to meeting Marina Sirtis in October who is Number 2 & Famke Janssen who's also in my top 10 :) Edited June 26, 2016 by Jabberwocky50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th Precinct Comics Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I would pay good money for a VIP package, but not high prices for individual autos etc. I would want to have a meet & greet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I pay pretty much anything asked for either Hayao Miyazaki or Isao Takahata. I'd also go way past £100 for Elizabeth Olsen or Kristen Stewart. Purely because I respect their acting talents, obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue_entity Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Nobody period ! Well nobody alive that is lol The way I Iook at it is I cant really justify spending out more than say £30 for a autograph after all what am I going to do with it ? Bung it in a folder where it wont see the light of day again for 6 months lol I could put it up on a wall how ever I currently have 110 10x8" in my stairs ( which is the best place as there is no direct sunlight ) how ever to put one up I have to take one down and since they are all Doctor Who related I couldn't think of anyone from Dr Who that I would pay more than £30 for to put up there ! That's just my opinion :) Some people I know couldn't justify a fiver for an autograph; it depends on your level of devotion. Some people will do extraordinary things to meet their heroes; be it queuing for hours to get a brief glimpse, travelling thousands of miles or forking out money to be up close and personal.
