SOOO! It has finally been announced!! June 19th starts it all....
What do y'all think about it?
Who are you most excited to get autographs from?
DISCUSS!

(question: so do you think it's official that we're not getting anymore celebs since the autographs & such have already been planned?
or do you think we might get somebody just for Q&A?)

Ok, so about the autographs...

We will be able to reserve our free autograph on june 19th, right?
And will we only be able to purchase one more autograph from a cast member??

I am FURIOUS right now. I have already paid over 600 dollars only to find out the person that I was wanting to get a autograph from and pic with I will not be able to because his sessions are on August 2nd...the day we leave and my flight is at 2 p.m. There will be no way for me to leave my stuff in the room because checkout is early to go get my picture and then get on the plane. I really hope someone running the con is reading this and realizes you have one pissed off attendee. This information should have been provided so people who were planning on flying out on the day the con ended would be able to plan accordingly.

I'm pissed about all this must be paid in full crap! I paid my deposit I should be allowed to buy the other stuff for at Twi-Con also.

I'm furious b/c our REGISTRATION FEE was suppose to cover so called 'rubbing elbows' with the celebs. So after $255 reg fee, $500 for 3 night hotel, $20 for 100 Monkeys ticket...im at $775 thus far in spending before this thing is even started. Now its gonna cost $40 for a photo and possibly $16 for an autograph. Do they think we are all made of money? We are in a recession and they are bleeding us dry. We still have to buy food and pay for an outfit for the Ball. I'm almost to the point of selling my tickets. This is getting ridiculous.

I am kinda upset we can only get 2 autographs and one photoshoot i mean i am coming from the UK and its costing some serious money to come over. So really will we get to meet all the guests I think not! Flights are £500, hotel for convention nights, 100 monkey gig ticket, breakfast with jackson it all adds up !
I was looking forward to meeting the guests and i still am but sadly we wont get to meet all of them though i wish we could
I mean we just have to understand that over 2000 people are attending so time is limited and we have some VERY hard choice to be made. So who is everyone wanting to get a photo with? I want KELLAN! BUT i already have met kellan at another convention in the UK so i might just get that photo of me and him signed. Oh its hard cos the main people i want to meet are Mike, Jackson and Kellan lol I want a photo with each but sadly i can only choose one I really realy want to choose kellan again but i have not had a chance to meet Jackson and mike yet so i might choose one of them. Either way I want either a photo or autograph from these 3
Just looked and kellans autograph session is during Jacksons breakfast thing looks like i will be having the photoshoot with him after all . So for my free auto i am gonna choose mike and then hopefully buy a jackson one.
I would choose peter he is amazing but i am meeting him at London film and comic con 2 weeks before this convention So even though i love him i might have to pass
Hopefully they announce some more stuff where we get a chance to meet the guests which is included in the price and not extra money $£$£$£$

I just want to clarify...the autograph/photograph sessions we can sign up for have nothing to do with the Meet & Greet, right? I didn't get tickets to that, but would love a chance at this opportunity.

Thanks!

I can't say I am happy about the photo/autograph sessions. I realize the actors can only do so many, but it's discouraging to find out that we can only chose one person to have a photograph with.
The autograph session frankly sounds like a waste of time to me. If you don't even get to shake hands with the actor, what is the point of standing in line? But I have never been a big autograph person.

I am still looking forward to the other events but, I am not happy about the way they advertised this. I feel like the original advertising was false.

I am sure I'll have a blast at twicon, but sadly I can't say I'll ever attend another one unless it's organized much better.

Okay let me get this straight? We can only get two autographs and one photograph?!
I'm mad as hell right now. And seriously if we can't just have a short chat with the cast members what's the point? I'm not some stupid little girl who's gonna walk up to Kellan or Jackson and ask them to marry me or for a kiss. I would how ever like to at least shake their hand and say hi. And as for the no time for personalized autographs that sucks cause I was gonna get Ashley to sign an autograph to my husband who's over in Afghanistan. He really likes her and he likes Alice and since he's paying for all of it I thought I could do at least one cool thing for him. I'm still gonna get her autograph for him I just thought it would be cool to have just his name on there. He's gonna be pist too when I tell him I need more money to pay for the autographs and photos.

If I was the people flying in from out of state or country even I'd be sooo mad! It is a lot of money to be spending especially right now with the recession and everything. I live right down the street from Dallas and it's a lot of money for me so I know it's really a lot for ya'll. I just hope ya'll can still have a good time.

To answer the question I want an autograph from Peter and Ashely then my photo with Kellan. I would have liked a photo with Ashley too but next time I guess.

i know! I only have so much money left that i was gonna hopefully save for merchandise, but looks like i'm using it for a photo and stuff :p
(not to mention i still have to buy my gown!) Anyways- what made me mad was that, only 65 photos are allowed per celeb, meaning only 455 guests out of 2,000 get one!!!! That means, 1,545 won't!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S ALOT! AND WE COULD BE ONE OF THOSE 1,000! :O
AND.. what the heck is up with the "The ticket will be handed to the cast member’s handler along with your item to be autographed. The cast member will sign your item and the handler will hand it back to you." It just seems silly to me that we can't hand them our item to be signed even though they're gonna be right in front of us! Instead we have to hand it to their "handler"... they act as if we've got the Swine and if we accidently brush hands with them they'll die. lol
okay. enough of my rant!
