Photograph Sessions

[Richard]

We will be closing the photo-op pre-sales on August 31st so please get your pre-orders in to us before then.

You can, of course, still purchase ops at the event.

The photo op pre-sales pages are now live so please feel free to head on over to your Member's Area where you can access the ticket sales. Full details are on the photo op page.
We may of course add in other guests before the convention, but you can revisit the sales page at any time and add more tickets to your account. You will also be able to see a record of what you have bought.

IMPORTANT - please do not just select "10" photo ops with one actor unless you intend to have that many taken with that actor. We are trying to determine how long each actor will be required for so it really doesn't help us if you just choose all with the same actor just to get ten tickets within that tier. Please choose every actor individually. There's no rush to get you form in fast. Thankyou.


The photo sessions will take place on Friday 9th September and on Saturday 10th September in Minoru A, B, C and D.

Photo sessions will be taking place at the same time as on stage panels. Whilst we will try to limit the disruption to watching panels, you may need to make a choice between a panel and a photo op. The exception to this are the RDA panels. Photo sessions will not be taking place while he is on stage.

AUTOGRAPHS

Autograph sessions are run for the actors' sole benefit and they have provided us with their individual prices which are paid direct to them at their table in the currency indicated for each guest. These are listed below.  To clarify, these will be available at the actors' table ('table photos'). Anything other than that classes as a personal item. Please note, there will be NO photographs available at Richard Dean Anderson's table and so those must be purchased from Legends Photo Booth* prior to joining the autograph lines. All RDAs autographs will be priced the same, whether official images or not.

In addition to 'table photos' available for purchase and signing at each guest table, Legends will also be selling a range of photos of the guests at the Legends Photo Booth* at US$5 each ('Legends photos'), and you will need to pay the guest direct for their autograph on these items.

Autograph Session Pricing structure

• 'table photos' - actor will supply an autograph on an official headshot photo supplied by them at their table
• 'Legends photos' - actor will supply an autograph on a photos purchased from the Legends Photo Booth.* Please note the price listed below for the autograph does not include the US$5 for prints being sold at the Legends Photo Booth*.
• 'personal item' - actor will supply an autograph on a personal item.  A personal item is any item you bring into the room for signing. This could be a print from the photo shoot, a copy of the convention magazine, convention t-shirt or an item of your own etc. Note the organisers and the guests reserve the right to refuse any item they deem unsuitable - this includes body signing. The actor may or may not make a charge for personal items. Please check at their desk.

*Legends Photo Booth
Please note the Photo Booth will be stationed in the main Dealer Room on Friday and Saturday so you can purchase photos for the autograph session in advance if desired. On the Sunday, the Photo Booth will be moved to the foyer of the Britannia Ballroom where the main autograph session is taking place.

PHOTOGRAPHS

We have two main price tiers for the photo shoots - US$35 and US$30**. You will be purchasing tickets to the photo sessions that will allow you to be photographed with any guest within that price tier. Therefore if the person you were hoping to be photographed with is no longer able to attend, you are allowed to use that ticket for another guest in the same tier.

If you are travelling with a family member or friend and you wish to be in the same photograph, each person will need to buy a ticket for that shot. Tickets will be collected from you when the photograph is taken. There can be a maximum of five people in any one photograph with a guest. Each person will receive a copy of the photograph.

We are also hoping to offer some group photo ops (as in certain actors together in one shot...System Lords for example). Details on these to be added nearer the time.

Your photo op tickets do not include entry to the main convention - you will need to purchase a convention ticket in order to access the other events. You also need to be a convention ticket holder in order to take part in the photo ops.

There will be restrictions on props brought into the photo ops - please make sure you contact us BEFORE the convention to make sure your props are acceptable. Anyone bringing an unsuitable prop to the photo ops will be required to leave the prop outside the room. Likewise you are not allowed to bring gifts for the guests to the photo sessions. If you do have a gift for one of our guests please hand it to the registration desk or a crew member and we will pass it on to them. Gifts must be unwrapped.

Any uncollected photos will be made available in digital download form after the convention.

**Please note certain guests may be priced outside of the two main tiers. These will be clearly stated.

GUEST PRICES
The following is a list of the guest prices for autos and photos as it currently stands. Please note this is for guidance only and although unlikely, prices may change between now and the convention. Some guests may be offering extra options - please check at their table.

Currencies: For the autographs the guests would like to be paid in cash in the currency stated. For any photo op tickets purchased at the event we will accept CAD or US$ based on the prevailing exchange rates for the US$ prices stated. Likewise we will be able to accept both currencies for the official Homecoming merchandise available at the Gatecon table in the Dealer Room.

Any prices missing mean we are still waiting to hear and the figures will be added as we receive them

[Dr. Carson Beckett]

Will there be a limit to photo ops, like there will be with the autographs? Will it be permitted to purchase a photo op for both sessions or an additional print to have signed?

[Atlantia]

I  like the idea of purchasing additional prints. It may cut down on photo lines but still be cost effective. Pre-order additional prints when you buy your photo op and put a limit on the re-prints you can buy. Sorry,  I got carried away. Bad habbit of mine. Just an addendum to the suggestion. 😆

[Richard]

We will certainly look into the idea of purchasing additional prints. Attending both sessions unlikely though.

[nonnie88]

Will the photo ops be like they are at LFCC. Cause there are a couple I would like to get but don't wanna miss out on one if they are being taken at the same time, if that makes sense...

[shaurissmile]

I went to every Gatecon that was in Vancouver and if they follow the same path then you go in by ticket number when you are called. All the guests will be standing or sitting waiting to see if anyone wants a photo with them. As each "Fan" comes in, you hand them your photo tickets and then they call up the guests you want a photo with. Then each guest takes his turn to get a photo with you, when you've finished all the photos you want you leave and the next person has their turn. In the meantime the guests hang out with each other, catching up and chatting. It's kinda fun cause you get to watch them a little bit which is usually fun cause they're all kinda silly. But if they change it cause there's so many guests then they will figure out a way to make sure you get all the photos you want, they're great that way.

The typical Gatecon photo session has the guests chill-axing in the photo room and they get called up for the photo - so, the attendee runs through several of their photos at one time.  Or, we get a group of ppl who all want one guest and rotate the attendees through with guest1, then move to guest2.  Robbin has a 'system' and she knows how to work it. =)

[nonnie88]

Ahh, cool..
Thanks for that.
I've got my 'list so far' already lol.
And was seriously contemplating doing the heads/tails on a coin

I hope it's better than LFCC.  That was a hot mess.  I missed the BTTF cast panel, because I was getting my photo done with RDA.

[Richard]

We always try to keep the photo ops separate from the panels, but until we know exact guest attendance hours we cannot rule out the possibility of certain photo sessions taking place while there are panels going on.

[schulzmk]

You are so organized.  I trust you to make the right decisions.

[nonnie88]

Sweet! *fingers crossed* for us all...
Your organising of this is brilliant

[Highlander II]

We call this Gatecon-scheduling.  And it runs on Gatecon-time.  Which is not usually an exact standard clock-like thing. XD

[PamK1950]

I'm picturing a room with about 50 dry-erase boards in it with a dozen or so straight jackets ready to be put to use 14 September 2016.  I hope things go smoothly for all of you. (Put one in column A, two in column B.......)

[Richard]

What makes you think I'm not already in a straight jacket, typing this with my nose from my padded cell? 😖
