when you say 300 to 500 tickets
When you say 300 to 500 tickets do you include the one day pass or this is only the super pass? With the super pass do I get more chance of getting the actors autographs? Is there a autograph session in this year gatecon?

tickets
When we talk about the large numbers, we're usually talking about the full four day pass, not the day pass. With the full pass, you have a much better chance at autographcs and photographs. Day pass folks are slotted in only after the full pass folks have gone through the lines. The full pass also gets you into the cocktail party - the day pass doesn't.

WE pay for autographs!
I read on the other tread that we must pay and we have a limited amount of autographs. I just want to know if you pay before or after you get you autographs.

You don't have to *pay* for autographs, per se... you're allotted 2 - one on an official Gatecon item and one on an item of your choice ---
If you want MORE than the 2, THEN you have to pay -- and that price is generally determined by the actors / managers-types etc...
sometimes -- the actors will slip in an extra one -- I got about 3 Teryl Rothery's last year b/c I had so many photos (the photographer took 2, then Teryl told her to take another one b/c she thought her shoulder was in front of my face - it wasn't) - and I told Teryl, so she signed 'em all! *shrug* it was an exception...
So - the general rule is 2 - but you can buy more -
And - if you catch one of the actors swinging through the hallways and s/he isn't on his/her way someplace else - you can grab one then too --- That's how I caught William deVry two years ago --

NOw I"M relief!
Thank you gor the information. I was affraid that if I got some extra autographs (like you said in the Hallway or something) and have to pay more money. We get to take pictures also!!!?? this is going to be so much fun!
During the cocktail party, can I bring my camera to take pictures? During the speach of actors, can I take photos if it's without the flash? I don'T want someone taking my photofilm because I did something wrong you know!

Re: NOw I"M relief!
You can take all the photos you want, including during the panels. Remember, there may be a limit on the time that folks can use flash [I said *may* as I don't know specifically about that for this year]. The one thing you can't do is take 'movies' - that means any video capture either with a cam corder or with a digital camera that takes avi's, etc. That will get your camera confiscated and folks will be checking.

The way they've done it in the past, and like Rowan said, they might make changes for this year, is that for about the 1st five minutes of the panel, flash photography is permitted, but after that - it would be in your best interest to have one or more of the following:
* high speed film - 800 ISO or higher - in color, 1600, I think, is as high as it goes; b&w goes to 3200
* a manually adjustable camera - you can set the aperture and shutter speeds manually and let in enough light that a flash isn't necessary
* a LONG lens - preferably with auto-focus - that way you can fire off the shots a bit faster and don't annoy the ppl behind you as much
* a sweet digital camera that lets in a lot of light
* the good fortune to sit in the front row -- which is usually, mostly, reserved (I think), so good luck there
That's how you can manage to take photos w/o a flash and still have them come out well...
for examples -- take a peek at my photography page -- Photography by Highlander II -- the Gatecon photos taken during the panels were all taken w/o flash -- I always have high-speed film and my long lens - plus, a wide-open aperture and sometimes I slow down the shutter speed. (if you want more explanation on some of this - maybe we can start a 'how to take photos w/o a flash' thread...)
As far as I know - unless they change the rules - the only photos and autographs that you MUST pay for are the organized photos taken with the actors in the photo room by the Gatecon photographers (ie: Richard and Fryn and whomever else they have working on it) and any autographs beyond the allotted 2 --- generally speaking.
Photos of guests that you take in the lobby or during panels or auctions are fine - as long as they follow the guidelines explained before the panels begin.
Also - and, again, this might change - during the auction, I believe, you ARE allowed to take movie-photos -- but ONLY during the auction.
The reason they don't allow video during the panels is because they film them for the Gatecon DVDs - so, no panel filming.

The Sekhs-Party
Basically, it's a fund raising party several of us put on for JR Bourne's favorite charity, the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Society. It takes place on the Wedns. night before the con. Over the past years several of the cast and crew have wondered by to help us out. JR Bourne, Colin Cunningham, Teryl Rothery, Don D. Davis, David Palfry, Douglas Arthurs, Brent Stait and others. It's a pre-paid all-you-can eat dinner feed with a charity auction.
Last year we raised over $40,000.00 CAN. and had a blast doing it.
Most of you major party questions will be answered here:
SekhsParty .
And feel free to check back with myself or anyone listed on the web site for more information.
Hope to see you.

Re: LOL!
Rowan, I've been trying to reach you -- calligraphy? Gatecon? Barter? Would you please email me privately?
I'm thinking of going to Gatecon for the first time ever, I waffled and missed out on Superpasses, I would like to enter a callig piece in the charity auction and possibly the Sekh's Party auction, and I still want to do a piece for you privately.
Please contact me!
