I am so all in (+1). What an awesome way to see filming locations PLUS be with awesome gaters (I really wish my iPhone would stop autocorrecting gaters to haters lol). Freakin out about tomorrow already. Anyone else?!?!
No better way than to tour locations with others that will fully understand your "oh oh oh it's it's the place!!" and "I'm actually OMG here OMG" with all the hyperventilation, squees, and questions from others of "will you take me picture!"
I'm freakin out!!
No, yours is not a stupid question! Mine, however, may certainly be.What will the link look like to join the queue to buy tickets? A big, honkin' button? Please not a wee itty bitty link that I surely will not see!! OK, that's where my anxiety is growing!
Good luck everyone!!!
Would LOVE to meet everyone! First *official* gatecon (have been to Stargate Chicago with Creation) But VERY VERY (did I say, VEERY) excited about this!!! Looking forward to meeting new friends!!
I remember the first con I attended. I thought, I don't know anyone. But throughout the year I chatted on the forum, made a few online friends and decided to organise a meet and greet dinner. I found it to be a good ice breaker. We didn't all stick together for the whole weekend, but if I found myself at a loose end I usually bumped into someone and a coffee and chat would start, sometimes others joined in and sometimes not. It really made the weekend the tops. Then, of course, we had to have a farewell dinner, which was at Red Robbins. Some had learnt the words to the Stargate theme tune, and every time a person arrived we had to sing it, complete with the actions that someone had made up. 😊
Is it to early for a SSSQQQQEEEEEE!!! 😆
Questions:
95, 90, 90 are the payment amounts? Is it CAD? USD? Pounds?
What's the fee for the payment plan and when is it due?
Sorry to be a pain, but I need to make arrangements for friends to send me Paypal money and I want to make sure they send me the correct amount.
Thanks!!
Payment plan will have a 5% fee and there will be three equal payments of US$96.25 (total of $288.75). Note the auto-calculation may be +/- one cent
Hello everyone!
Planning on attending and may be bringing a first-timer. She goes to all the local fandom cons around where she lives so not sure if she's ever been to a strictly Stargate convention before. Will be fun to experience it all anew from her eyes. Can't wait for the festivities to begin!
Was planning on doing some side trips after the convention up to Capilano Bridge and maybe whale watching once again. Anyone interested in going together?

I think it would actually be very easy to enforce.
Let's say, when you're at registration you choose your seat from a seating chart and the seat number is then recorded on your lanyard. If someone argues that you're in the wrong seat, your chosen seat number is right there in plain sight. Sure, it might make registration go a bit slower, but a little inconvenience at the start is preferable to people just being able to steal other peoples' seats should they be off doing something. What if a group of 15 were all off getting photo ops, only to return to find several people had decided to claim some of their seats? Is it fair that the group should have to now split up to find seats when they had all been together in the first place?
Other conventions I have been to utilized the assigned seating and it generally worked out quite well.
over getting a ticket, this would probably be the next best thing. I have myself and another going, so finding two seats together may not be that bad of a thing. But for a larger group? Tickets are bought in sequential order anyways, otherwise they wouldn't be in ordered "groupings" of color blocks. I think to at least have the notion to put seats into play, even if there is a line each day (although we all know none of us really want to stand in lines!) to keep the seats we have and not have to worry about them may make this easier going. Like someone said, unless they want to switch. Many of the conventions I go to have assigned seats and badges are numbered for panels just for that reason. Just throwing my two cents in! 
Like I said, I'm new, so that being said!
