The regular ticket doesn’t get you any free autographs from the bonus guests, only the main guests. Whereas the gold ticket gets you free autographs from all guests bonus included.
Despite the expensive ticket prices, considering you get an autograph from each guest its actually a really good deal. Auto prices these days are so high especially for bigger guests like Jodie and Chris!
I’d imagine regular but I don’t quite know. It usually depends but I’d suspect not, as it tends to be photos/autos are separated into different categories at most cons. That said, sometimes you can get a photo at the auto line but it just depends.
Its a bit of a nuisance to get to I can never be bothered with lots of train changes. I can only fly to Bristol, Manchester or any of the London airports.
