I've been told the official dates for the Starfury: Serenity convention in the UK is from April 29th to May 1st, 2005. Tickets will be available beginning July 5th, 2004.

Please check the Starfury Convention website for detail when it's posted.

Tickets on sale from 10am Monday July 5th.

£70 adults, £30 for 14 and under, under 7s free.

Juts had a thought, does this mean the UK premier will be either April 29th or May 6th? Any guests for the con would probably kill 2 birds with one stone and make the trip for the premier and the convention?

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

AH, Starfury yet again, bound to be good. I hope to go only on the of chance that Joss might show up.

Oh yes and Nathan might be there too.

I would have thought it would tie in with either a premiere or promotional tour.

I believe the organiser was indeed waiting to hear when it would be released in the USA, and Buchanan did mention they would like to get it released everywhere else as soon as possible after, so my guess is it will be out, or premiere will be week before con, official release shortly after, or around that time anyway. I would guess that most of the cast will be going to the Serenity convention, and I know its gonna be fantastic!!! Would be even better if Joss came. See you there!

Excellent news! I have been anxiously waiting to hear when Sean would arrange the convention and hope as many of the cast come over as possible, perhaps kidnapping Joss to make sure we get him to join our BDHs as well. Can't wait to find out where in the UK the venue will be. I went to "Fusion" and loved it and my friend Elaine in North Carolina hopes to fly over especially. This will be a mighty fine shindig folks, lets raise the roof and show them a Big Gorram Welcome! No one has an excuse not to go, you have almost a year to save up your pennies or dimes. See you there!

I am making plans for the WorldCon in Glasgow for Aug of 2005. Two overseas trips in one year might be tough to swing but now I will have to try for it. Sounds nice

Until April I'll set aside about £100 for the convention - hell, I can sleep rough when I get there .

Just some info for everyone who's thinking of going to Serenity; get your ticket NOW! They are selling like strawberries in Persephone (see what I did there?)

Oh, and if you're saving up, you might want to take these figures into consideration...

Ticket price with credit card booking £73.00
Thistle hotel cheapest room rate - £57 per night

If the rules are the same as other Starfury conventions, you can get your convention booklet signed for free, but if you want any other items you have to have at least 1 official photo (£10 each available at the event) for each signer.

Example: If you want Alan Tudyk to sign your Knight's Tale poster, you have to buy an Official Fox photo for £10 and get that signed too. But if you only want the autograph, he can sign your free convention booklet.

Any Firefly items must be OFFICIAL i.e. DVD, official photo. You can't print a screencap off the internet or anything like that.

Also, there may be photo session, and these can cost £10-£20 each. (Eg You and Summer on a photo £10, you and Gina and Alan on a photo £20)
The photos are 8x10 and you can collect them during the convention.

So if you want a photo taken with 9 guests, and you want signed pics of them all, it'll cost you £180.00 Plus there will probably be stalls selling merchandise and tons of other stuff to relieve you of your hard earned cash..

Worth the money though, if it may be your only chance to see these guys and have your photos taken with them.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
