Auto Assembly 2010 Bookings Open!
« Thread Started on Sept 17, 2009, 4:19pm »		[Quote]
With the record-breaking Auto Assembly 2009 still fresh in everyone's memories, we have been busy behind the scenes and we are now pleased to announce that Auto Assembly 2010 is here! Europe's largest Transformers convention is returning over the weekend of Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 to celebrate its 10th Anniversary and once again it is aiming to be bigger and better than ever before!

As before, the convention will be spread over a weekend mainly running on Saturday and Sunday (with bonus programmes on Friday and Saturday evenings for full weekend attendees) and will feature a whole host of activities, dealers, guests, a party, live band, a script reading with our voice actors, charity auction, video screenings, art and kitbash workshops, costume competitions, video games area, toy and art displays, a dedicated childrens programme for the younger fans and so much more besides...!

The convention will be held at The Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, which is on Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham, right in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, England. It is an ideal location for anyone travelling to Birmingham from anywhere in the UK and is just 2 minutes walk from Birmingham New Street Station!

We already have our first four guests confirmed - IDW and Titan colourist Liam Shalloo, comic artist Simon Williams, legendary comic writer Simon Furman, and making his long-awaited return to Auto Assembly is Guido Guidi. More guests, and our voice actors will be announced shortly.

Ticket prices have been FROZEN for Auto Assembly 2010 and are £45 for adults and £35 for concessions with under 5s being FREE. Family tickets are also available offering larger discounts.

As always, we will have one of our usual goodie bags on offer for all attendees and we think that this will be another great bundle of goodies and once again it will include keyrings, postcards, and many more items... FREE for every attendee!

Bookings are open NOW so hurry to guarantee your place. Tickets are already selling fast based on the incredible response to Auto Assembly 2009, so if you want to make sure you can be a part of Auto Assembly 2010 then you want to book now while you can!

We hope to see many of you there next year for what we think will be the biggest and best Auto Assembly ever!

while I will be at auto assembly 2010, I do hope that the events organisers decide to get around too booking any IMAX screening of TF3 for auto assembly 2011 and hopefully have the event better organised than this years pruposed screening of Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen, that screening will be included as part of any pre registration package.

With regards to the AA2009 cinema screening of Revenge Of The Fallen, we spoke to three cinemas in Birmingham City Centre - the Odeon, another that was just on the edge of the centre and the IMAX. One never bothered to reply to us, and the IMAX wouldn't offer us an exclusive screening unless we gave them a guarantee of at least 250 ticket sales for the film and even then they wouldn't give us a discount from their £9 a head ticket price.

With most fans having seen the film and - to be perfectly honest - not long before the convention - it was impossible for us to offer that sort of a guarantee and if we were to allow the IMAX to open it up as a public screening to get the numbers then it simply wouldn't be an Auto Assembly event so the Odeon was the only choice and they were only too happy to work with us to make it happen.

We are working on a screening of *something* for Auto Assembly 2010 but we're not announcing anything at the moment until we know exactly what is happening but again the Odeon is pretty keen on working closely with us.

We won't include any cinema tickets with registration prices as standard as not everyone will want to go to see a movie as part of their convention package - some people will book places for younger attendees who simply won't be old enough to go, and others may not arrive in time or may just want to do other things or meet up with friends for a meal or drink on the Friday evening so we feel that the only way to offer this is as an optional add-on.
