Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted July 10, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 10, 2009 Vouchers: Your registration pack will contain vouchers for your autographs (these autograph vouchers maybe on the back of your convention guide book). Your pack will also contain your photo shoot vouchers if you are a Gold pass holder or have ordered them in advance online. If you think any of your vouchers are missing please let us know immediately. You will be asked for them when you come to claim your autographs or photo shoots. If you forget to bring these vouchers or lose them, you will not be able to claim your autographs or photo shoots. These vouchers are YOUR responsibility, please treat them as if they are CASH. You WILL NOT be able to claim your photo shoots and autographs without these vouchers. Guests: At all times but especially at the parties, please don't crowd them and start taking lots of photos. It is honestly the quickest way to get them to leave early. That doesn't mean you have to avoid them or not talk to them, just be aware of how many people there are around them already, and respect their space. Badges: We don't want to have things spoilt by gate crashers so please make sure you have them on and visible at all times. Especially at the parties. Groups: Everyone is in a group based on their ticket number. You are simply split into groups of 30. Please check the sticker on the back of your con badge for your group number as when we're calling people over the weekend for autographs and photo shoots we will be calling you by group number. If you find you and a friend are in different groups, then please just let us know and if possible we will sort it out so you can both go in the same group. Child tickets: The child ticket numbers are not important. They do everything based on their parent/guardians ticket number and group. Entering the main hall for talks: We load the hall once each day at the start of the main hall session i.e. Sat @ 2:15pm and Sun @ 3:45pm, NOT for each talk. This is only an estimate of times, please see the show schedule for the specific times that the main hall events will start. Any disabled people and their carers will go in to the hall first. Then we will fill the hall in ticket number order by calling people in groups of 10. Gold passes have a dedicated area at the front and come in first, then Standard. You do NOT have to enter as soon as you are called. If you have a friend with a higher ticket number you can wait for their number to be called and then go in together. You can stay back, but they can not jump forward. Please be aware that with this system it does mean there is no need to arrive hours before the talks start. Getting to the main hall 20 minutes before is quite early enough. Around 15 minutes before the first talk/main hall event we will start letting people in, so as long as you are here when we call your number you will be in the same row as you would have been if you'd sat outside since the beginning of time! We do not allow seat saving. If you leave the hall for more than a 5 minute toilet break please take your belongings with you, definitely no saving seats for 4 or 5 friends. Talk Questions: We have an MC that asks the guests questions and runs the talks. If you want to ask a question at one of the guest talks and have not already submitted your question online then you can fill in a question slip from your reg pack. You can ask for extra slips if you need them. The box to put them in and the extra slips will be at the reg desk. Photos in talks: For the comfort of our guests we only allow flash photography for the first few minutes of the talks. Once you are asked to stop flash photography please do so. You can continue to take photos but only without flash. Recording of talks: No filming or sound recordings of the talks are allowed. If you see someone doing so please alert the nearest crew member. Although it may not appear to be hurting anyone, having this uncontrolled material out there and sometimes loaded on to the web can jeopardise these events being allowed to continue. So please do not do it and do report anyone you see doing it. Thank you. Schedules: You will see schedules up on the walls and in your reg packs. To make it as easy for everyone as possible they include an estimate of when your groups will be called for each guests autograph and photo shoot. Please be aware this is ONLY AN ESTIMATE and you maybe called before or after this time depending on how quickly or slowly a specific guests queue is going. Photo shoots and Autographs: You are called for each guest separately in your groups. When your group is actually called the crew will call out your group number. Also the big sheets at the end of the autograph queues, outside the main hall and outside the photo shoots will be updated to let you know your group has been called. Don’t worry, with both photo shoots and autographs you can never miss your turn. Once your group has been called for a guest you can join that guest’s queue any time after that. But please don't miss the end of the session! Multiple attendees in a photo shoot: If you want two or more of you in a single shot you must let the photo session crew know in advance. It will need to be discussed with the photographer to see if we will have time to do it. Extra Autographs: These will not be sold until ALL attendees have see the guests once and have got their one free autograph. Once ALL attendees have been seen and a guest goes to open queue, we will at that point look at selling extras. But there is no guarantee that this will happen.

Shinodas_bint Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 *bumps* mods please read my above post pleaseee Although Im guessing from other posts Ive seen that i would need to buy myself another shoot to have me in the photo aswell? Im gonna end up with two of everything arent I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 *bumps* mods please read my above post pleaseee Although Im guessing from other posts Ive seen that i would need to buy myself another shoot to have me in the photo aswell? Im gonna end up with two of everything arent I? TooTall has answered your question already: in general two attendees on the photo both need a ticket. But for the proms you will need to ask the photo shoot crew on the day if this is possible because the time frame for the photos is very short. It's one group shot due to time constraints, hattiefang is right about this. If I recall correctly TooTall also posted earlier today that you can't buy extra photo shoot tickets, again due to time constraints. So if you'd want to be in the same shot with your boyfriend and the photo crew approves this on the day that would mean you can't get a photo with just you and the guest. You will not simply get to jump in on the picture to make your boyfriend feel better without using your own voucher if no extras are sold, sorry.

Shinodas_bint Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah they are group photos...you with the 3 guests...but its me and my boyfriend going and he's only going for me he doesnt want any of the autos or the photoshoot. So my question was if i had my photo done with the guests was there any chance of me being in my boyfriends photo too cause i'd quite like him to be in a photo but theres no point me having two of the same photo i.e. two photos of me and the guests. So in that case I'm just gonna have to use both vouchers myself? Edited August 5, 2009 by Jacobs_bint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sorry, but unfortunately there is no chance of that. If you want to be in the photo with your boyfriend (and the photo crew has confirmed you can) you would have to use a voucher, you can not simply jump in. If no extra photo tickets go on sale that would mean you'd have to use your own voucher and not get a single shot with the guests on your own I realize the situation your boyfriend is in - my boyfriend is just like him. But if there's an exception made to that rule "two fans in the shot need two tickets" we'd suddenly have quite some friends turning into "haters" of a guest who want the company of a friend in the picture. I hope you can see where I am coming from there. I know from own experience that this is not your intention, but there are others who would try. So in that case I'm just gonna have to use both vouchers myself? If you want a shot with you (without your friend) and the guests only I'm afraid this is the only option if no extra tickets go on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no i totally get ya, I just thought I would ask because what Too Tall said in the first post made it sound like i could but i get it now. Will his voucher have his name on though? cause if it does surely I wont be able to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 No no i totally get ya, I just thought I would ask because what Too Tall said in the first post made it sound like i could but i get it now. Well you could if you only get the photo with the two of you, but of course what TooTall said in the first post won't apply if you want a single photo with the group of guests in addition. Will his voucher have his name on though? cause if it does surely I wont be able to use it? At the last events I was at you got a sheet of paper or a photocard where the guest's names where ticked off. Unfortunately I don't know how it will be done at the proms because it's just one photo session there. Unless TooTall can give more info about this in advance take your friend to the photo area with you and explain the situation to crew there. I've used a friend's photo vouchers for Chevron 7 too and it wasn't an issue after I clarified with crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that I'm afraid it will have to be either 2 of you in 2 pictures or one in 2 pictures. Not 1 in one and 2 in the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinodas_bint Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 In that case I will use both cause he really doesnt want the photo so theres no point in having it go to waste. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
