I can't believe they are putting this show on at the NEC just days before Memorabilia is staged there.

Even i will not be going to both of them.

There was supposed to be a combined ticket being set up but no sign so far Frown

Basically the Collectormania Midlands part of the show is
5GBP ( or 10GBP for Early Bird ) and the times
are Saturday 1100 to 1800 ( 0900-1800 for Early Bird ) and Sunday 1100 to 1700 ( 1000-1700 for Early Bird )


The Autographica part of the show is 10GBP and if you pre-book you get in slightly earlier
So Saturday is 1030-1630 ( If you turn up and pay at the door it is 1130-1630 )
and Sunday is 1100 to 1600 ( If you turn up and pay at the door it is 1200 to 1600 )

HOWEVER An official post from Showmasters stated

quote:
At the beginning of the day admission to either event will be separate, however after 1pm you will be able to visit the other event free of charge! Simply show your pass / hand stamp to enter the other event's halls.

Depends on your viewpoint as I think this is a very strong lineup with David Warner, David Morrissey, Velile Tshabalala, Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow and Murray Melvin being the standouts from the Collectormania Midlands part

Add in the people at Autographica like Ernest Borgnine, Mickey Rooney, Joan Collins and George Kennedy from the acting profession, Charlie Duke the moon walker, Scott Carpenter from the Mercury spaceflights, Sir Henry Cooper and lots of WWII veterans including one of the Dambusters and this really is a don't miss Cool
