FULL ANNOUNCEMENT
Last year, TFNation trialled a new add-on which we called The Legend Pass – following the positive feedback we’ve received from TFNationals who attended, we’ve decided to roll out these passes again in 2024!
Please read on to learn what Legend Passes are, and how you can get yours!
WHAT ARE LEGEND PASSES?
Legend Passes give you access to a Private signing, Professional Photography and Limited-Edition Merchandise Experience.
That doesn’t easily fit on a convention wristband, so we went with a snappier name. The pass is for you… because you’re all legends!
DO I NEED TO BUY LEGEND PASSES TO MEET THE GUESTS?
Short Answer – No, but there’s a chance you could miss out.
Longer Answer – Our guests will be taking part in normal, General Admission signings on the Saturday and Sunday of the convention; these are included within the price of your regular entry tickets as usual (one to two autographs on your personal items per guest). So you may be able to meet the guests without purchasing Legend Passes.
Importantly – General Admission signings cannot be guaranteed, particularly as the convention grows in size. Our guests are very busy during the weekend and are not always at their autograph tables when you’re also free. Everybody needs energon sometimes.
Our Legend Passes have been designed for attendees who want to guarantee their signing slot, and for those who enjoy the enhanced experience of a private meet and greet style event. If you’re travelling especially to meet a particular guest, then a Legend Pass might be for you!
The important takeaway here is you don't need to buy these add-ons for a chance of meeting our guests, but The Legend Passes will enable you to secure a guaranteed slot and some extra goodies to make the occasion extra special.
WHEN OTHER EVENTS OFFER THESE SORT OF PASSES, THEY STOP REGULAR ATTENDEES FROM MEETING THE GUESTS. WHY AREN’T YOU DOING THAT?
Honestly? We just don’t want to.
We appreciate it might seem a bit weird for a convention to not paywall guests… but we’ve always liked being different. We see Legend Passes as something which helps us to bring a guest to the event for everybody – not something to hide them behind.
There may come a point when some guests are simply unable to agree to this sort of access – we think everybody knows that – so this is our way of showing you we’ll only restrict access when it’s absolutely necessary.
WHO’S TAKING PART?
Last year we trialled one Legend Pass guest. Since then, we’ve had repeated requests to include more guest options; so this year we’re going to be hosting separate Legend Pass sessions with David Kaye, Gregg Berger and Kathreen Khavari.
Each guest will have their own Legend Pass, for the days they are available. We’ve used last year’s pricing as a guide and have also introduced a tiering system, which we think is a fair way to reflect our various guests’ different tenures with The Transformers.
(Some attendees have asked us to hold sessions with even more of our guests. We’ll definitely keep these suggestions in mind, but right now, focussing on these three guests is how we’d like to proceed this year)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Legend Passes are event add-ons (like T-shirts). You can buy them when purchasing your convention tickets; or if you’ve already bought your tickets, you can return to our website to purchase your Legend Passes – just remember to log in using the account you bought your tickets with.
Please Note - if you wish to buy a Friday legend pass, please email info@tfnation.com with your request and we will process this for you manually, whilst we are making a slight tweak to our website.
You will be able to choose which guest you wish to see, and your preferred day of the convention (subject to the individual guest’s availability). The sessions will not clash with each other, so you can purchase Legend Passes for two or three guests, if you wish to.
You’ll then receive an email a little closer to the convention, confirming your signing slot, and the room you’ll need to visit.
We're carefully positioning the Legend Pass signing blocks within our schedule with a view to causing the minimum possible disruption to your weekend; however, if you do find you are unable to attend your slot, please let us know in advance by emailing info@tfnation.com with the subject LEGEND BLOCK and we’ll try our best to accommodate a change for you.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOGRAPH(S)?
Last year, photographs were ready within about four weeks of the event. Now that we have our systems in place, we’re aiming to have photographs available more quickly this year.
We don’t rush attendees through photobooths and send blurred images like some events – our sessions are relaxed and last a few minutes to give you time to chat with the guest and get a nice photograph. The images then go offsite for professional processing (similar to wedding photography).
It does take a little longer than a selfie, but we think the results speak for themselves.
