Looks like his joined the Wizard circuit...he was added to the Philly show as well last week!

Are they going to have a TNG reunion like they had a Buffy reunion last year? It's starting to look like it based on the guests that they have announced so far...

[Will]

Shatner dropped out, Patrick Stewart is in...Theyre billing this as the first STNG reunion in the US.

Sad part is they released pricing info...auto prices arent bad at all. Tickets jumped up in price. Its gonna be a tough decision what to get.

I think Hayden's vip ticket last year was 150.00 that came with 2 sigs and a photo op.

So far the VIP by itself is 199.99 with a litho and 9.8 cgc comic...YAWN!!!!!!
Marsters has a VIP for 175.00 that comes with a litho and photo op which is 65..

Stewart has a photo op, autograph, and litho for 250.00. His photo op is 80 and auto is 75.00. Tempted to get this one, and sell the auto and photo op...Last year I swapped my Hayden photo pass for another auto, which its up to the handler.

Last year they let specific person vip passes in the sig line first..followed by reg vip passes, followed by gen pop passes. Apparently this year they are making reg vip passes the same as gen pop when it comes to the auto lines.

The reunion package is a 799.99 ticket. Photo op with the whole group and a one sig per cast member with a sweet looking litho.

If Wheaton shows up Id be seriously tempted to get this signed-

[HIPPIEKMT]

They are doing reunions for the 25th anniversary of TNG, they just had one in Canada where they were all there. Stewart photo op was $100 at the last star trek convention in new jersey. At the convention, Stewart said that he was going back to London for the Olympics and that he was starting to film a new project....he already cancelled his appearance in Nashville, so this maybe the last opportunity to see him this year...in Austin.

[HIPPIEKMT]

They just added Stewart to Philly, which brings all 5 captains! 1299 for the VIP. .....
Will, the litho that they show for tng is really nice, they had that at the st convention. I can't wait for Philly, I have a captains poster to get signed, I had Stewart sign it a few weeks ago, I bought the shatter VIP and pre-ordered auto tip for the others....I guess I'll save save money since I just saw Stewart a couple weeks ago!

[Will]

If the Stewart or Marsters VIP pass will still get me ahead of people in the gen admission parts of other lines, I may snag one of those and flip the photo/auto pass to cut the cost down.

[Will]

Its not that close to show time and they already raised prices on the vip passes. Marsters went up another 25.00. Stewart went up another 50.00. Next Gen VIP went up a full 100.00....nothing added to any of them.

Unlike last year, the VIP pass no longer gets you ahead of gen admission unless its specific to the guest....otherwise VIP is just an extremely overpriced 3 day pass unless you consider the over 100.00 price difference a good deal to get let into the show first.

This made my day:

Eliza Dushku will be at Wizard World Austin 2012!!! I'm definitely going now. I wasn't before this was announced today. She'll only be there Saturday. If they can get Summer Glau as well, that would be even more awesome!!! :-) It was also announced that Dean Cain will attend.

*sigh*...with Dushku going....Guess Ill officially have to go lol

[xman25]

The price for Eliza's photo op has been released: $55. A bit more than I thought it would be. No word on how much her autograph is going to be. CM Punk will be at the show. Saturday only, 12:30 to 6:30.

Hopefully her sig comes in around 30 like it has in the past. Then I can swap out the photo op for sigs an pay any difference.

[xman25]

"Swap out"... meaning you'll trade someone for an autograph ticket(s)?

Last year I didnt want to take a pic with Hayden so her handler let me trade my photo op pass towards more autos and they made a few extra bucks off it etc.

Dushku came in at 40.00 at the Ohio show so I expect the same for her in Austin so Ill have to toss in extra to get 2 autos for my photo op pass.
