Will be interesting if it actually happens!

Wow!. Very Nice.

roll on end of month god ticket here i come :)

Just ordered 4 tickets

Vegas for August then London
That makes 2012

Great compilation photo on the poster with each Captain in their unique uniform! I hate it when they combine movie images with ones from the series. Wish I was in England for this…

I wish Creations could get all 5 Cpts for Las Vegas, I cannot recall that ever happening there. We would love to go, but we are getting back from our Disney Cruise the Sunday before and it is just too much travel time that close together.
Good luck to those who go!

Keep Avery Brooks away from the pubs.

Being that four out of the five are from North America, it would seem easier or just as much so to pull this off in the US. Make it so, puh-leaze!

This would be so awesome to get to see… I guess they all stay at Sir Patrick’s castle!

I don’t understand. Is this also a permanent venue? Or is it all a setup for just one single event???

Bought my tickets today!!

#11 – Sounds like a setup for a single event.

I’m definitely going – look forward to seeing some of you there too! :D Finally, something for UK fans! I don’t remember us getting anything like this in recent memory. Thank you so much, CBS and Paramount!

The advert doesn’t say they’ll all be on stage TOGETHER, although all the PR I’ve seen for this suggests they will be. There was a recent convention (last year?) where Shatner, Mulgrew and Stewart were all on stage at the same time.

What does it mean by 3 day event access for £50 if that doesn’t include the talks? It’s all very vague. Can anyone shed any light?

#8 oh please, would you say that if you were a actor probably struggling to find work and depressed

I so wish I could be there for this event!! :-(

@15 You have to know the password to get into the talks….psst….its Scruffy Nerfherder.

They’re missing one captain, IMO.

:-)

I am so going

It would be great publicity if there were a Region 2 release of Bill Shatner’s Captains docu-film.

Currently I think it’s unavailable here in Britain. If anybody else was like me, they had to import it from the States. The DVD proved region-free though, as I found out when I tested on a mate’s unmodifyed player.

No Chris Pine?

You know who should introduce them? Geneviève Bujold.

Pine? Why bother? He played a Trek captain for all of three minutes…so far. :)

Oh man I so wish I could be there!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

London really is the place this year. First the Olympics, the the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations, then Starfleet come’s to town.

Woah, they almost managed to make Janeway look feminine in that picture!

It’s too bad Jeffrey Hunter isn’t there.

To get all the benefits of the con It looks like the price will be £300 approx and £600 if you go platinum.

I would really love to go but not sure I can afford it at the moment. Plus I have already met the five captains previously at Vegas.

I’m in the US but I’m scheduled to be in Birmingham on business Oct. 24th…. Might just have to fly in early to London and make my way to Birmingham after. Once in a lifetime opportunity!

are there any St cons coming to Phoenix, Az?

Doh! I knew there would be a reason why I shouldn’t have emigrated to Australia!

Hope they can get Pine and release a DVD of the captains talk

Paramount does not know the HEART and ENTHUIASM of the fans. They just know how much money they get.

#32.

Paramount’s objective is to make money. Not to make us happy.

Anyone want to go to Britain with me? I’m TOTALLY GOING!!!

Got my ticket for the Saturday – so looking forward to it.

wish i could make that. That will be eppic!!

Oh ye gads. If i wasn’t a broke student I would go :( I’ve always wanted to go to a convention. Here’s hoping they’ll make a trend out of this!

I would really love to go but I could not afford to go to it.

Looking at the prices, with the exchange rate the top proces are dear than Vegas. Which has been the most expensive Con I ever did.
