My first ever thread (eek, don’t hurt me!) and actually I’m slightly surprised no one has mentioned this but CE is attending his first ever Comic Con this year, after refusing to attend such events for several years now (and who can blame him? I’ve attended cons several times and while they are fun, being a well known face at those places is hell on earth). Some people are ecstatic, but that’s not what got people talking over Twitter.
The prices the hosts (London Film and Comic Con) are charging for you to attain his autograph or have his picture taken with you are astronomical. Plus, depending on demand, even if you paid nearly £100 (I’m not kidding) for an autograph it is still not entirely guaranteed. Oh no, if you want a guaranteed picture and autograph you have to shell out a whopping £235 for some rubbish called a diamond pass. I think the hosts must’ve offered CE quite a whopping paycheque to secure his appearance, which could explain the outrageous prices.
How desperate must you be to have to do that? He (and David Tennant, but mostly him) made Doctor Who for me and he is a great actor, but paying all that to let him scribble on a bit of paper, with no 100% guarantee you will actually get it either? And anyway, for less than half that price you can stage door him after Macbeth and more likely than not get a photo and autograph there (plus you can watch him actually act in front of you for 2 hours instead of paying £100 to watch him sit behind a table writing his name for 2 hours). It’s also worth noting that Peter Capaldi is attending the same event, and getting his autograph is actually cheaper than CE’s.
