LIMITED EXCLUSIVE GOLDEN PROGRAMME (formally known as the Gold Pass)
1. Free admission and shorter queues at the entrance
With your pass you will have access to a dedicated entrance on the mornings of the show. This will allow you to enter the venue from the early bird times without having to join the main queue! You will also have free entry to the show throughout the weekend.

2. Talk Tickets
A ticket for each talk (free and charged-for) will be available free of charge. Tickets will be held back for any Golden Programme Holders, and will be available to collect at the event when you pick up your pass.
Priority seating will also be given to Golden Programme Holders, who will be able to enter the seating area before the main queue. (Please note: Photo session tickets are not included)

3. Autograph Queues
Golden Programme Holders will have the advantage of being ABLE TO JOIN THE BACK OF ANY QUEUE WITHOUT HAVING A VIRTUAL QUEUING TICKET!
This will cut down your overall waiting time incredibly, and allows a great deal more to be done over the weekend.

4. Autograph Packs
Golden Programme Holders will receive an autograph pack which includes several autographs from one of the subjects of the Golden Programme Holder's choosing. These include Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Buffy & Angel, Stargate, British TV, US tv, James Bond or General Film.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (abridged)
CLICK HERE for a more complete list of questions and answers

Guests appear subject to work commitments. Charges will be made for autographs. Photographs of the guests will be available. Not all guests will be appearing on all days.

AUTOGRAPHS:
There will be a charge for each actor's autograph. This will generally be between £10 - £25 per signature depending on which guest. (Please note: These prices are only approximate and are subject to change.)

PHOTOGRAPHING THE GUESTS/USE OF VIDEO CAMERAS:
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 many reasons why they decline. If this happens please do respect their wishes.

PRE-ORDERING AUTOGRAPHS:
Unfortunately we do not have any procedures in place to obtain autographs from the guests on behalf of fans unable to attend the event.

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 50) once the previous group of people have their autographs, and you can then join the much smaller queue of fans who hold those numbers.
We do advise that you try to get there early if there is a guest you are particularly keen to meet.
