Auto Assembly 2004 Economy Tickets Unveiled
Auto Assembly 2004, the UK Transformers convention taking place on 8th-9th May 2004 in Birmingham, England is now able to offer a reduced price ticket option for those of you planning on attending and paying on the door...
As standard, everyone attending Auto Assembly 2004 will receive a copy of the convention magazine, The Cybertronian Times and this year the magazine features brand new cover artwork from Lee Sullivan and has a range of features, articles, fiction, interviews and much more. However, because of the cost of producing this magazine we will not be able to print vast quantities of this in advance and we can only guarantee that those who have pre-booked will receive the magazine on arrival, with many having it posted after the convention.
If you are planning on paying on the door and are not interested in the magazine, we are able to offer a cut-price "economy" ticket. This offers basic admission to the convention but it does NOT include the magazine as part of the package. You will still get the free gifts provided by our sponsors while supplies last, but not the magazine. However, you will be able to get into the convention at a reduced rate.
These economy tickets will be very limited in availability so we would still strongly recommend pre-booking for the convention, but the economy tickets that are available will be at the following rates:
Adult: £6 single day, £12 weekend
Student/OAP: £5, £11 weekend
Child: £4, £10 weekend
saving £3 off the standard admission price!
This package isn´t intended to undermine those who have already pre-booked for the convention, but we know that many of those wanting to pay on the door would rather pay a reduced rate rather than wait for a second printing of the magazine. We are aware of fan frustration in the past from other sci-fi events where fans have been left waiting for convention merchandise long after the convention has happened and we wanted to offer fans the chance to avoid any unnecessary delays.
We are also looking at the possibility of having a VERY LIMITED number of tickets available to Saturday attendees for the Saturday night programme which is available to weekend attendees only. This will be dependent on the number of weekend bookings and will be restricted in numbers. If we are able to offer these, we will announce details, prices and availability after the charity auction on the Saturday afternoon.
For more details on the convention, see the website or email us for more details. We can take bookings online and full details are on the website.
