I'm wondering though, if I were to make plans to go to a later event, how do they work? Do you pay to get in then get the autographs?
Yes you pay to get in. Usually £10/£15 but for that you get to browse the dealer stalls aswell

Do you pay to get in and pay for an autograph you want?
Yes you pay to get in but you have to pay extra for any autographs you want. General admission only entitles you to enter the event.
Can you being your own items to get signed or can you only get an autograph on whatever the celeb is providing..
Yes you can bring your own items but you still have to pay to get it signed
and can you have an item multiply signed, for example there are a number of Brazilians there, if I brought a shirt could I get them all to sign it? Yep you can bring a shirt or any other items. You pay for the autograph so they will sign whatever you want them to sin

Also one more question, I can't seem to find times on thier site (memorabilia.co.uk)

I've found a company that could get me there for just under £60 so if the times fit I might go for it...

With a standard ticket it's 11am-5pm but with an early bird ticket it's 9am-5pm. When I attended the show in November I got there at about 11:30am and stayed till about 4:00pm. I met four celebrities, browsed the stalls and went off for some lunch and came back! The queue's aren't bad at memorabilia. The organisers manage to keep them short so you are not stuck in a line for hours lol! I think I only spent about five minutes queuing for each celebrity!

Thank you again for the help… Its looking a bit more likely that I will be going. Its just a bit unfortunate I didn’t know sooner, maybe then I would have gotten cheaper flights and a few shirts to get signed… I’m not sure how much a classic Brazil shirt is going to set me back and if I can get it in time

One one question, sorry to keep asking! What is an average sort of price you can expect to be charged for an autograph? Around £10-£20 I would assume?

I'm happy to help {thumb2}

I'm not sure how much sports stars usually charge as I just go for the actors. The most I've ever seen anyone charge is £30 for an autograph and pro photo combo but that is very rare! The average price is £10/£15 per autograph and then photo's on your own camera are free. They usually put the prices on the website about a week before the show. Just keep checking the "news" section on the site.
