Info on photo op tickets

[janinelearner]

I've just been talking to Wayne and he's told me that for all future events (A4, AEU, A5, Insurgence, Vampire Diaries and anything else they run in the future) they will not be holding back any tickets to sell at the events as has been done in previous years. ALL photo op tickets will be put on sale online, then only if there are any unsold they

I can't speak for non-Supernatural conventions run by Creation, but I can assure you that for the SPN ones they are not run that way, photoshoot and autograph tickets often sell out very quickly. And overselling only causes problems, they have to have a finite amount of tickets, they cannot simply continue to sell tickets until everyone's had one, otherwise it's impossible to write a schedule. Timings at these events are fairly tight, and they know how many photos they can comfortably take in the slots available. Last year they tried to sell more than was comfortable for the time available in order for as many people as possible to get their photos with Jared, Jensen and Misha and it was a nightmare. I worked the photo studio the entire weekend and it was literally a case of people running in, standing for 3 seconds, photo taken, run out, next. That is NOT the way they ever intend of having things done again, and if it means that less photoshoots are sold then so be it, it should not be a conveyor belt again as it was last year. Yes it does mean that some people may miss out, but it's never been possible for every single attendee to have a photo with every guest they want, otherwise there would be no time left for talks or autographs.

sorry, I was not trying to upset you, I just wanted to share my Creation Con experiences here......that is all....:o) please don`t be offended

I'm not at all offended, I'm just trying to explain to you that you have to compare like for like, different fandoms and different events run in different ways. The way Creation run their Stargate conventions or DragonCon is not the same as the way they run their Supernatural conventions.
