CELEBRITY STAR SIGNINGS, TALKS, DISPLAYS, DEALERS STANDS AND MORE To book dealers space or for more exhibitors information at the event please CLICK HERE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AUTOGRAPHS: There will be a charge for each actor's autograph. This will generally be between £10 - £20 per signature depending on which guest. (Please note: These prices are only approximate and are subject to change.) You can have this autograph on one of a selection of free 8"X10" photographs supplied at the show, or on your own items. (Please note: Charges are for the autographs themselves, so apply to personal items as well as available photographs. Free 8"X10" photographs are made available to be autographed) 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. One your number has been called there will of couse still be some queuing involved! Waiting times will vary between the guests, but we will try to keep the time down to around 30 - 45 minutes (however this is very much dependant on the amount of time each person spends talking to the actor, how many items they are having signed, etc, and so these times are only a rough estimate). We do advise that you try to get there early if there is a guest you are particularly keen to meet as queues do start to form for virtual queue tickets before the event opens. 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! 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. However autographs will be available from our sponsor MSPG Autographs (click here) 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 reasons why they decline. If this happens please do respect their wishes. The use of video cameras is permitted in the dealers room, although we would advise asking someone's permission before filming them. All we ask is that you use your discretion and not to film anyone that doesn't want to be filmed (this goes for fans, staff and dealers as well as guests). Video Cameras are NOT allowed into Guest Talks or screenings. This is for a number of reasons both legal and practical.
