It's hard to believe that Auto Assembly 2010 is only NINE days away. Fans across Europe have been anticipating the arrival of the convention for so long this year and with an incredible guest line-up and some of the best activities we have ever arranged, this is shaping up to be our best convention ever.
Even with the convention being so close, there are still some of you who haven't booked your tickets yet! We have said this repeatedly but please don't leave it until it is too late and hope to be able to come on the day. While we may have some on-the-door places, we can't guarantee how many we will have and they will be on a first come, first served basis. We won't announce how many of these we will have until pre-registrations close so advance booking is your only way to GUARANTEE admission to this year's convention.
Because we are so close now, we have revised our bookings deadlines to make it as easy as possible for you all to get your tickets. The FINAL deadline for all bookings is the morning of Wednesday 11th August 2010. However, if your booking reaches us on this date, we will NOT be able to post your passes out to you. Monday 9th August is the booking deadline for people within the UK to have your passes sent out to ensure that they reach you in time for the convention. After that point - and for ALL international bookings - we will send your confirmation email out as normal but arrange for you to collect your passes when you arrive so make sure you bring a print out of these emails with you.
We have also extended the postal booking deadlines. However, you need to use the NEW postal booking form that we have uploaded to the website today and there is a new postal address and cheque payment details that you need to use which will allow us to process your bookings. Postal bookings must be received by no later than Monday 9th August.
There are about 75 full weekend passes available still, and less than 40 one day passes for the Sunday, but one day passes for the Saturday are sold out! With ticket sales doing so well, booking now, or getting a Non-Attendee Pack could be your only way of getting this year's convention exclusive comic - the convention variant cover of IDW's Transformers Issue 9 with new cover art by Nick Roche and Liam Shalloo, produced for the convention by Toyz And Gamez (www.toyzandgamez.co.uk)
Spanning the weekend of Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 at the The Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England, the convention is playing host to a staggering 14 guests including three guests of honour (Garry Chalk, Scott McNeil and Derrick J Wyatt), and will feature toy and art displays, dealers, comic guests, free autograph sessions, a video games area, free workshops run by many of our guests, dedicated childrens programming, video screenings and more! There will also be Friday and Saturday evening programmes, exclusive for weekend attendees and the Saturday evening will play host to a massive musical party, costume competition, our voice actors will take to the stage to perform a BRAND NEW script written by Simon Furman and the chance to win one of THIRTY sets of the Challenge At Cybertron sets donated by Hasbro... and we still have LOADS more to announce!
For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk
We hope to see you all soon!
