I've never been to any of these conventions before... what's the difference between the various passes?

Fine.....credit card it is!!!

I've never been to any of these conventions before... what's the difference between the various passes?

Weekend pass is 25 pounds and gets you into both days - members day 5th oct and the main public day, 6th oct.
Main day pass is 15 pounds is just for the main day
Stalls are just for the main day (3 prices available) and include 1 adult entry, if a stallholder wants to attend members day too then they can purchase the weekend uplift

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Jem. :-) Are there special events/promotions, etc. on member's day and not the public day, or are all days created equal?  Also... what are stalls and stallholders?  Sorry for the lame-o questions.

No problem, I am happy to answer any questions :-)

Members Day and the Main day are distinctly different.

Members Day has limited places and is a more intimate event where you can make friends and catch up with old ones. There will be games and competitions to enjoy, which are usually not the same as the ones held on the main day.
There are no stalls available on Members day so nothing is officially available for sale, although we usually tolerate the sale/trade of a very limited no. of items between friends as would be expected of a typical ponymeet type event. Tickets for members day can ONLY be purchased in advance as part of the weekend ticket package. There are no tickets to attend Members Day alone, except for the weekend uplift which is available to Stallholders only.

The Main Day is open to the general public and tickets can be pre-booked as well as bought on the door. Tickets for the Main Day are unlimited - we hope as many people will attend as possible!
Items will be for sale on stalls including new and vintage toys and merchandise all on the My Little Pony theme so it is great for shopping and trading to build your collection.
The main day will also have events and competitions to watch or take part in, and usually include a cosplay costume contest and a charity auction amongst other things. An events programme will be available on the day and competitions requiring advance preparation will be announced in advance of the Con.

Stalls
A stall is a 6 foot or 4 foot sized table we provide, from which you can sell vintage or new My Little Pony items. Some of the 4 foot tables are cheaper and located in 'Artists Alley' and are intended only for people who only want to sell MLP art or handmade items.
Having a stall is the only legitimate way to sell items on the Main Day, anyone found making significant sales who has not booked a stall will be asked to cease - this is not fair to stallholders who have paid to sell their items at the Con.
Stallholders are anyone who has purchased a stall! they will be invited to enter the venue 1 hour before opening time to set up their stall. There is usually a 'best stall' competition so we encourage people to bring pretty table covers and other decorations to make their stall exciting and enticing for customers.

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for all of that, Jem!  Now all that's left to do is convince my husband.

Hi Committee!  Just a quick question - what are the rules regarding buying/selling/layaway in the hour that people are setting up their stalls???  Last year for example, I noticed a couple of people going round the stalls and asking people to lay stuff away for them before the opening time.  I thought this was rather unfair to those of us who were waiting patiently until opening time at 10am, and to the people who had bought tickets and were waiting at the door patiently at 10am too.  I understand people can do private trades or whatever, it just felt a little bit like they were getting dibs on all the good stuff before anyone else.  So I was just wondering what the official line was on this xxx

I'm all booked in a hotel but still need to get my weekend pass, might buy one and get my mum to pay me back in a bit!

[mercynova]

Booked my hotel today
Will there be any sort of ticket package available that includes a Ponycon exclusive as (I believe...) was the case last year?
