FULL ANNOUNCEMENT
TFNation is pleased to announce the return of its popular Legend Passes!
Although you do not need to to purchase a Legend Pass for a chance to meet some of your favourite guests, they are a popular way to guarantee your slot and receive an enhanced experience.
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 - see signage at their booth for any special notes). 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.
This is particularly important to note with regards to Vince DiCola, who will be taking part in a limited convention schedule ahead of his Saturday evening live Musical Performance.
Our Legend Passes have been designed for attendees who want to guarantee their signing/photography 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 additional 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?
At this time, we're announcing Legend Pass sessions with Vince DiCola and Daran Norris.
Each guest will have their own Legend Pass, for the days they are available. Pricing is tiered, which we think is a fair way to reflect our various guests’ different tenures with The Transformers.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Legend Passes are event add-ons (like T-shirts). You can buy them when purchasing your convention tickets. (You can also buy them later, subject to availability, by returning to our website and using the account you bought your tickets with).
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 multiple 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 support@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)?
We aim to have your digital photos with you within 21 days of the event. (Last year, they were delivered in about 14 days).
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.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Here’s what your experience will include;

VINCE DICOLA LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
Live musical performance tickets will also be available with convention tickets from 12:00 noon (UK Time) on Saturday 7th March 2026.
These will be positioned alongside the main event days and ClubCon on the ticket page, so you will be able to find them easily.
We've now finalised the ticket prices, which will be £35.00 for both Adults (18+) and Teens (13-17). Children aged 12 and under may attend for free, alongside a ticket-holding adult.
The Live Musical Performance will take place after our regular ClubCon segment on the Saturday evening, with an estimated start time of 9:00pm.
This won't be a "standard template" sort of event. We are delighted to be working directly with Vince DiCola to create a special performance for TFNationals!
Right now, we are estimating a performance of between 60 and 90 minutes, with a mixture of seating and standing areas. The performance will include loud sounds, and bright, sometimes flashing lights.
Tickets will be limited in line with the capacity of the hall so that, whether standing or seated, we can ensure a safe and comfortable number of TFNationals in the space.
Naturally, there might be some more updates to share with you as our plans develop, so please stay tuned to TFNation's socials or join our free newsletter so you don't miss any updates.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post - we look forward to welcoming you to TFNation 2026 - Where All Are One!
