People were panicking they would miss things - and the word 'overlap' is so much less scary than 'clash'. Two 5 minute shoots at the same time in photoshoot areas at different ends of the hall? That's a clash. A short shoot slap bang in the middle of a talk you've paid for? Clash. Two 45 minute shoots where one finishes 20 minutes after the other? Overlap. That's kinda what I'm implying and have been on the edge of experiencing when I only had 4 photoshoots at Birmingham, so you can understand my concern.

Queen_Sindel Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Well I can guarantee you David Duchovny won't have a 5 Minute photosession. It will be close to impossible to miss that one. What other guests do you have tickets for if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I feel reassured by you guys that I'm not gonna miss any and you've answered my question great! Sod's law it will happen to you again but chances are it won't 17 minutes ago, Chris1970 said: IF two with exact same time you just go to one, explain the situation with the pit boss and they fix it for you, usually by putting you early in the queue. Then you can go to next. Last year I had two 10 min overlapping one 30 minutes one..I fixed it with grand help of pit bosses Yup, you have the advantage of having the schedule in time so if there is an issue just speak to the crew on the shoot you need to do first in plenty of time, show them your ticket for the other shoot and they will do what they can 12 minutes ago, natedammit said: It's not that there's no such thing as a clash, it's just that most of the issues people were describing as 'clashes' were really no problem at all.

People were going with clash which is a much scarier word, implying impossibilities and total nightmares so we are slowly training people to use overlaps instead Edited July 12, 2018 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo, Luke, Daisy Duke separately, The General Lee group, Mathew Modine, Lance Henrikson and David Duchovny, but I suppose it's also the issue of spending time queuing up for autographs, and now with the 7pm announcement of hopefully Gillian Anderson,......hmmm another question - if they announce her and there is the option of a group shot, I guess I can't swap my Mulder photo session for the group now can I? If they do announce Gillian, it will be bitter sweet as Showmasters should have announced together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a general answer to upgrades, if a group shot is announced and you have a solo ticket email the shop and ask, it's not impossible but they have the final word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewillow Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 If it's a really bad clash and it's impossible to go to all photoshoots, I think you can get a refund. First year I came I had a clash between a photoshoot and a talk and I got a refund on the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you have an impossibility between paid activities make sure you go and speak to the sales desk in good time, they may be able to swap an activity if it's possible or offer a refund for one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1970 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Now you have something to talk about with Ivana Milicevic over that weekend. (Trying to drop the sport talk .... thread clean ) Edited July 12, 2018 by Chris1970 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkown error Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Back in 2015 I must have had 12 photos for that weekend and that was the year of madness! It is possible to get them all you just have to plan them out when the schedule comes up. My tip for you is if you have a clash decide on two things, one who you want the most, the other it depends how popular they are, if they are going to be popular do that one last as they will still be taking photoshoots. Always tell crew members in red shirts you have a clash before hand so they'll try and make it easier for you, remember they can only do there best as they are human like us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 One way is to go to the ones that finish earlier, as well as notifying the crew members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
