Shocking mate, its working out cheaper to go a weeks holiday to spain. I was going to suggest that any of us going should meet up for lunch or something. That was till the prices started mounting up and I just decided screw that

 

[Jason Bourne]

I would recommend only get steels signed that are open. If the celeb f#&ks up the autograph on shrink wrap it will feel pointless. Plus u are paying for the autograph.

really you gotta pay for the autograph at these things ?

 

[cooey]

Sometimes free, but mostly charge between £15 - £25, although the highest I've seen in person was Christopher Lambert who was charging £35 a signature!!!

I don't mind paying though if it's someone I really want to meet

Perhaps there might be some kind person going to this who I could send my Avengers steelies too, to get Mr Lee to sign them

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Signing should be free. Don't know if Stan is going to charge but I'll pay anyways LOL!

 

[cooey]

I'll be amazed if Stan signs for free

 

[Andre]

Yeah, not gonna happen, he probably asks a hefty fee, and the Organization has to earn that back.
Only one I saw signing for free at such an event was Udo Kier at weekend of horrors Bottrop ( the first one I believe) and Ladislav Bernan( hellboy) and Joseph Bradna(hostel)at this years weekend of horrors.

 

[KeyserSoze30]

wow Stan Lee

So gonna have to try and go.

Does anyone know if there is a queue system? Ive been to a few conventions and the ones with no system are brutal, sometimes queue for hours, whereas the system you get a timeslot which is soooo much better

Most I ever paid for an auto was £20 and that was the legend George A Romero got 3 sigs of him now, such a great bloke who will chat with you and let you take photos etc..legend

now must get the time off

 

[surfury]

I was looking into going to this But the prices of travel are F****g ridiculous .
There would be no change out of £200 just for getting there and back, not taking into account entry or food ect and either having to start at 4am on the morning of, to fly plus a minimum of 1hr 30 mins train or 5hrs train with a couple of changes but even with first train from Scotland would still arrive 1hr after it starts.

Doing the 2 day thing is even more expensive flights are slightly cheaper but then hotel bills OMG.

London is the worst place in this entire country to travel to not to mention the biggest rip off. What a*****e decided to have it there

I'll put you up Pud

 

[digitalbabe]

If it's anything at all like London Comic-Con, Collectormania etc they'll have a virtual ticket queuing system

wow I did not know signings were like a paid thing at comic con's. I was thinking about going to SDCC at some point since its a few hour flight from Vancouver but eh I dunno. Ive grown to like comic book stuff a lot recently (been reading quite a few) but charging for autographs is kind of shallow? no?

I don't mean to offend anyone by saying that but I just can't see myself paying for a signature (unless proceeds were for charity or a cause of some sorts). I mean it seems like to me thats what makes the autographs's from people you adore special is the intrinsic value that they signed something for you from their goodwill like athletes do generally.

I guess its kind of similar to how people pay for backstage passes at concerts or sporting events which I have done myself a couple times so its not that inconceivable I guess.

 

[RobertJoseph17]

If they didn't charge, lines would be crazy and you'd only be able to get a couple autographs because you'd be in line for so long. Think of it as crowd control.
