This makes it lots harder that I won't be able to be there ...

[silvercomet]

I kind of expected the prices for Shatner, so I'm not really shocked. And since it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for me...

But with RDA? Seriously? I just don't get it, that's crazy. Definitely no autograph for me.

[discodiva]

I was stunned when Jules showed me the prices!....gosh I'm so glad I got my chance with Rick at Chevron last year!!!.....yeah, Shatner maybe? but Rick?...no way!!!

ok... I've just booked a flight to Dusseldorf... crazy woman!!! I'll probably be attending on Saturday only. Going by myself so it'd be absolutely fantastic if we could arrange a meetup or sth? I think I'll settle for photo ops only... RDA, Kavan and Joe? If I have any spare time and pennies I'd love Teryl as well!!

How do the Q&A panels look like there? Are they available for everyone? Or do you have to pay for them too? If it's so much queueing for the photos one day might be not enought to see it all for me haha can't affor anything else though... If not for RDA & Kavan I'd probably pass...

I'm there sat only so 17-20:30 is all panels for me haha! btw - what about photo ops? do they have it before the panels? or on a different day? I'm glad I'll get to see Joe & Kavan together on the stage! I bet hilarity will ensue

From what I've read (I've never been so I could be wrong) they have photo-ops on multiple days. They won't have the schedule for those up until at the con itself.

hmmm... I certainly hope so I know 1 day is not nearly enough for a con as big as this... where is my lottery jackpot!?

[silvercomet]

Checked the schedule. It will be a busier con for me than I thought. There is either nothing, or everything is in a row. Works for me.

Looking forward to Joe and Kavan together on stage. I bet this will be hilarious.

The Q&As are included in your con ticket. You can go to every panel you want - if there is enough space in the room. No idea if a too crowded room was ever a problem in the past. I've only been to one FedCon, never to Duesseldorf.

If they haven't changed the organization, they do photo ops every day - during the entire day (except during the autograph sessions I believe). So, yes, you might miss panels. And yes, there might be much queueing. We might get the photo op schedule not before the con. But: not every actor will be scheduled for every day for a photo op! I hope you'll get everything you want in only one day...

Oh, I can't wait! I bet it will be funny as hell! I always prefer it when they perform in packs

damn... dunno if I can afford 2 days now... I'll be in Dusseldorf for a week but it's all about money... didn't get the weekend package before they sold out cause I wasn't even supposed to go... when I finally decided - they were gone Dx my priority is RDA tbh... seen Joe in Oct and seeing him in Chicago so may even skip him totally if push comes to shove... but I really really wanted to meet Kavan & Teryl!!!! dunno what I'm gonna do... I might think about friday too then... there is no autographs... may be be doing photo ops then, plus another RDA panel damn! I wanna go back in time and get the damn weekend ticket sniff sniff

No problems with too crowded rooms in Duesseldorf.

good to know I'm a bit nervous! It's my first big convention in a foreign country by myself...

Don't worry. Everything will be fine. If you'd need assistance, feel free to contact me. I am going to be there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am going to wear black jeans and my black "Stargate-Planet.de Team " T-shirt.

I am not going to stay there overnight - my home is 80 km away, so I am going there by train in the morning and back in the evening after the panels (f.e. Joe Flanigan's panel on Thursday).

One thing: Last year, buying mineral water in the hotel was pretty expensive, so I was bringing my water bottle along from home. Tap water in Duesseldorf has a good quality, so that's the cheapest way to refill the bottle.
Food prices were okay. The airport is close so there are also options to buy food. There's also a Starbucks in the airport building. Travellers and airport employees might be a little bit amused/confused though when meeting people in costumes.

hmmm... you think I'll be able to find you in the crowd? I'm both nervous and awfully excited! seen Joe's vid from the Swedish con today and I can't believe I'm seeing him again in person do you have any fb/msn/skype or sth? I won't unnecessary pester you or anything, but I'll feel more reassured if I know there is someone I know around

I'm staying at my friend's place in Willich (so no hotels either) but she's not going to the con... so once I enter - I'm in OZ and I doubt clicking my shoes will help me find the guests I'm interested in

good to know - thank you!! I'll pack my provisions beforehand
haha - I can imagine it looks funny for the airport workers, seeing all those "freaks" loitering around I always found the reactions amusing whenever I was cosplaying and running around public places

[makowiec]

I'm all set! Got my fri/sat tickets! Now just have to sit on my bum and wait I reckon I'll get everything I want in 2 days

I'll probably be wearing a black t-shirt with 'TEAM FLYBOYS' on it (and most likely an awed face expression lol) if you spot me anywhere - just poke me and say hi I love meeting new awesome ppl - especially when they're SG fans

[camelot7414]

I asked over on the FedCon boards, and thought I would post the info over here for anyone that wanted it.

Pre-Registration starts typically at 5:30pm on Wednesday and runs until the line is gone. It starts back up Thursday about 8am. Friday should start at 8 as well. I didn't ask about Saturday or Sunday.

[Courtam3]

Oh ok cool thanks for that information. I get in on Wed so i will more than likely try to get it done then.

awesome! I asked at fedcon forums before I went to work but only just came back and haven't checked yet I'll try to sort it out on Thursday then since my friend takes me for sightseeing trip anyway then just straight for Kavan on Fri morning yay!

Yeah, I saw that you asked That's what made me think to ask about Wednesday and Thursday, so thanks

Yeah I agree it would probably be a good idea to get in line early for Kavan, as there's no assigned seating in there, and the room is smaller than the main one. Looking at the hotel's website, the Dusseldorf room holds 900 (which includes the gallery which holds 236), whereas the Maritim ballroom holds 2250 (including the gallery which holds 550). Hopefully a bunch of people will go to the lecture on Time travel in Star Trek that they're holding in the Maritim ballroom.
