Some frequently asked questions
AUTOGRAPHS:
There will be a charge for each actor's autograph. This will generally be between £10 - £25 per signature depending on which guest.
You can have this autograph on one of a selection of free 8"X10" photographs supplied at Collectormania, or on your own items.
(Please note: Charges are for the autographs themselves, so apply to personal items as well as available photographs. Paying for an autograph does not guarantee you will be able to chat or be photographed with the guest. Some free 8"X10" photographs are made available to be autographed)
It is sometimes necessary to limit the number of autographs per person. This is to help as many fans as possible to meet the guests. If this limit is neccessary we will endeavour to put up signs making everyone aware of this
PHOTOGRAPHING THE GUESTS:
We recognise that getting a photo with a guest can be important. Therefore, when you meet the guest to obtain your autograph, there is usually no further charge for taking a photo with them. However, as the day progresses, it does sometimes become necessary to stop photos in order that the guests can get through and meet more people, otherwise there would be fans that would go home not having met them at all.
Please also bear in mind that whilst guests are often willing to pose for photos with fans, there may be reasons why they decline. If this happens please do respect their wishes.
Video Cameras are NOT allowed into Guest Talks or screenings. This is for a number of reasons both legal and practical.
VIRTUAL QUEUING:
To help cut down the amount of time you have to spend standing in a queue we have introduced a virtual queuing system.
When you join the end of a guest's queue you will be handed a ticket with a number on it. Once you have your ticket you will then be free to wander around the event or join other queues. Ticket numbers will then be announced (in batches of around 30) once the previous group of people have their autographs, and you can then join the much smaller queue of fans who hold those numbers. There will of couse still be some queuing involved!
We will only issue one ticket per person, and only a ticket holder will be able to join the queue once their number is called. If you are planning to accompany someone (to take photographs or help carry bags, etc) you will still need a ticket, even if you are not planning on getting an autograph yourself. This will also apply to adults accompanying children.
We do advise that you try to get there early if there is a guest you are particularly keen to meet. Saturday is likely to be very busy day so why not consider coming along on Sunday. Tickets for the virtual queues will not be issued until the show opens, however please be aware that sometimes queues may begin forming several hours beforehand.
The virtual queuing system will only be running for the most popular / busy guests, so there will still be plenty of opportunity to meet many of the other actors appearing at Collectormania!
