Ollsswoggle Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I understand it's difficult to know but how busy to people think he will be? I missed him in 2016 as was my first comic con and didn't really know how things worked as attended last minute and regretted it since but would love both a photo and autograph from him but don't know if the £180 for the diamond pass is worth it considering the photo and auto separately total £130, any thoughts would be helpful ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastandloud Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 From what I recall from the last time he was at LFCC I had no issue getting his autograph with a vq ticket. He was very efficient at the table signing (you're not going to get a five minute chat with him) so got through the diamond passes in no time at all. Although if you want to be 100% guaranteed, I'm afraid its a diamond pass. Could be the opposite this year, you just don't know. If you decide not to get a diamond pass get in the venue as early as possible to get a low vq ticket number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you☺️ Yeah I'm just going to go for the diamond pass when I get paid tomorrow, I'm usually in the venue very early but just saves any stress/hassle/disappointment on the day if I know I've got the diamond pass for him ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving examples of previous gifts, i dont know what they have planned for this years guests. The diamond pass though is more about securing the autograph and photo with the guest in question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 8 hours ago, Jaysub said: Aw ok sweet,cheers bud The gifts are usually tailored to the guest they are for, the Diamond gift for Mads Mikkelsen last time they got him was a mug with a still from Hannibal on it. The Gina Torres DP was something Firefly related but I can't remember what it specifically was. The gift is really just something small and extra, it's best not to factor it in when you are deciding whether to buy a DP or not. As Mfahey said, the mark up, the difference between all the items added together and the DP price, is basically a 'fee' for guaranteeing the auto and priority access to that guest before non DP holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dug them out. Gina's was a wallet with the Serenity on the front, John Barrowman's was a torchwood bag and Emilie De Ravin was a heart shaped USB. Nothing fancy but nice enough. But these are little trinkets in addition to ensuring the autograph and photo with said guest. Edited June 3, 2023 by Mfahey79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept my Mads mug, but not the Gina wallet, I gave that to a friend who loves Firefly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
