Hey guys,
I know this has been mentioned previously and we are still getting requests for some form of VIP ticket to be produced for the events so I am putting it to you in terms of ideas - what would you want included? What is fair? What price would be reasonable? How many should there be?
We have a few ideas being thrown around currently in the office but with the incoming messages about it we are going to take another look at it once more.
Feedback is always appreciated! ;D
Jaime & the Mercury Promotions team

just from my personal opinion a VIP ticket should be limited to about 50-100 ppl . and it should include ,,walk straight in off the street, free t-shirt, any 4-5 photo shoots free plus be moved to the front of the queue , free Q and A's , free admission to after show party and maybe access to the green room with the guests ( as long as they don't hassle them lol )...price wise about £100 ...what does everyone else think..it is usually rich ppl or the very die hard fans that buy these thing. :-)

What i would want would be a early entry ticket that would let you in without a line (apart from the other vips). Free talks/Q and A, Front of line pass for all photos and autos.

hi Charlie.. and everyone else .. I think for this comic-con ..it maybe a bit late to sell these ( like you stated Charlie. You already have photo shoots booked).....but for the next one is a good idea :-)

If anything was included that people had already purchased they can either keep them or have them refunded - it is not unusual for fans to buy multiple photo-ops for example with one guest  |

Sounds like a good idea for the next shows and going on. I already have early entry tickets booked for this show and 6 photo shoots.

good point admin...I didn't think of that doh....one thing I will point out ( if im allowed to on here )...at other conventions ive been too...I have had early bird tickets...no problem...but when ppl were queueing for photo shoots and the vip ppl turned up at the front of the queue ( after we had been there for 20 mins already)...they had a lot of flack / abuse shouted at them..and it was a bit uncomfortable for ppl....even thou they had paid mega bucks for the vip tickets....I don't know if you want to add that into your decision :-)

I have already brought my photoshoots, but as I have two young kids with me I like the idea of queue jumpers as long as I could get refunded on the one's ive brought, would obviously depend on the price though :-)

A VIP ticket would be great!
Looking at other cons the prices seem to be high but literally everything is thrown in.
If you could do something for a price that doesn't break the bank e.g £50 limited to about 50 people I think there would be alot of interest.
Could include; a VIP early entry wrist band or ID card that could count as an extra momento, VIP seating in the Q&As and maybe a couple of autographs thrown in ;o)

I think this would be a great idea, and definitely for this show. If I was to buy something like this I would purely be buying it for the early entry (before anyone else without having to turn up mega early and line up for hours) and front of the line/no virtual queue tickets needed for autographs and photoshoots.
I've seen others that are quite expensive and include pre signed autos, talk tickets etc but as there is always me & my partner it is way too expensive since you still have to pay for autos & photos.
If you had one with just the 2 things mentioned aboved for around £50 for maybe 100 people I would definitely buy 2.

I'd Like Queue jumping on entry and photo shoots ... 3 free photoshoots ... 3 free autographs and free access to talks ... price = £75 - 100

Some interesting points which are all being taken into account - likelihood is it won't happen until the next event rather than in April.

How about having a backstage area to hang out with the stars too?
