Your best thing to do will be to phone or email Sean & ask if there`s a Day Rate, I haven`t seen any info on that, could be you would have to pay the full price but, ask him anyway, you never know.

There are no day tickets for Starfury as its a full three day convention with different things happening on each day. If a person could only attend for one day they would miss out on a variety of experiences which would include some of the autographs they would want and photo sessions with actors. The assumption is if you buy a ticket you will attend as much or as little as you want during the three days. It still costs the same.
It is also stressed that tickets are non-transferable unless the agreement to do so has been agreed by Sean Harry prior to the event. The ticket MIGHT be transferred to another but it is theirs for the full weekend. So no sharing tickets between attendees who can only do a day each etc.

yup same boat and rowing in circles
We rang yesterday (well I say we but it wasn't me) and were told it can take up to a month after payment. I assume Sean/Starfury make up the tickets in batches on a monthly basis, so if you booked just after the last batch it could take more than a month to get your tickets :(

I don't think people need to worry too much about the receipt of their ticket. Previously people have shown their proof of purchase (credit card statement, bank statement etc.) at registraton and still got in even if they don't have their ticket through the post. Don't worry too much.
The ticket you get is actually more of a receipt from Starfury and you hand it straight over when you register. If for any reason you don't have it, the reg desk crew will have a list of names of everyone they are expecting so you can tell them who you are. They are always happy to help out. The proof of purchase will simply prove that payment has been taken.

=) bit the bullet and bought the tickets since it looks like i'll be able to make at least 2 of the days. does anyone know of a cheap(ish) place to stay in the area? (even the hostels are $50 - $100 a night =O!)

does anyone know if Sean allows ticket holders to resell and transfer their tickets?
I bought early, so I have ticket #170
(which gets into the meet and greet on Friday)
but now I can't go...
I e-maid Sean but haven't heard back from him.
I guess I'll have to phone him.

Hi Embers -
Just checked my mail box, and so far I haven't received an e-mail.
It's STARFURY policy (and the policy of nearly all other conventions) not give give refunds or permit ticket transfers. It's stated on all advertising.
If the event sells out then we would put you on a returns list.

Hey all...long time I know.
Okay..well JAMIEC and KISSTHESTRAWBERRYLOVERMRTAM I still haven't recieved my ticket. But I called up this evening, and it seems my ticket has been lost so there sending me a replacement right away. I was also told that even if you don't have your ticket when you go...you will get in. All you need to do is give your name. And I was also given my ticket number.
Ugh, theres sooo much to do! I'm peeing my pants that I might not get organised in time!
Well, the friend that was supposed to be coming with me has now dropped out, so I'm getting a room to myself. Which I'm booking tommorrow, knowing my luck they'll be fully booked too!! And so know I'm going to have to rely on my fabulous social skills to make friends real quick so I'm not a complete laz all weekend. I'm going to get a t-shirt made. I'm thinking mabe one that Says "SERENITY April/May '05" and then "PSYCHIC-RIVER" on the back with "Come say Hi but don't touch my knitting needles, okay!?" underneath.
And are most people booking in for Friday, Saturday AND Sunday night? Cos I was just going to book for Fri & Sat...but I'm guessing we'll finish late on Sunday...so it's not worth going home then right?
And I'm organising train stuff. It's pricier than I thought it would be.
Also, what time does it start on Friday...I mean what time do I wanna get there?
If anyone could help, I'd me much abliged.
Peace!

Right, lots of questions Psychic!
Firstly, afraid that the hotel is fully booked. I'd suggest trying the Sheraton across the road, about the same price I believe, and only a few minutes away - that is, apart from the fun of trying to get across the road to the Thistle!
As far as number of nights, most people stay all three nights. There are parties each night, and the closing ceremony (which starts after the autographs finish, so it may be late in the evening) is something you really do not want to miss!
Friday starts with registration at 3.00 pm. You don't have to get there at that time, but most people do and it's the best time to meet fellow attendees and making new friends. The opening ceremony is about 7.30 ish, followed by the M & G and the disco.
Look forward to seeing you there!
