ON Calling all Hobbits, Elves, Humans, Wizards & Nasties

Calling all Tolkien fans, young and old - Young at heart even.

Have a look

Some people has expressed an interest in going. As well in costume.

If you intend to go in costume, could you post here, which charactor you'll be going as.
To see if we can form our own little FanForceFellowship.

 

I was thinking about putting together a Galadriel costume for this convention.

Time will tell if I will be sucessful at actully pulling it off

 

I'm looking to make a Boromir costume.
I found a place that sells the vambraces. So everything seems to be coming along nicly.

 

If I can go, I'll be just an elven maiden. I'll have to fit making my own costume around all the other costumes I'll be making this year.

Hopefully my hair will be longer by then.

 

I am planing an Aragorn costume...with teh help of Rebellaka

I hope I can pull it off

 

I'm going to do *something* maybe one of Eowyn's simpler costumes or an Elf?

 

Eryn will go as Arwyn, she's got the ears down perfectly! Hopefully she will be in the white Romancing dress from FOTR (the one where she gives Aragorn her necklace).

I will be Eowyn in her Shieldmaiden outfit (I pick up the sword on Sunday!)

If you are considering making a LOTR costume, here is the best place to look

Has anyone figured out how much the tickets are for the 3 days? I see a lot about hotel room prices, but not the ticket prices.

Isn't it here?

 

I don't think so...

Each Early-Bird reservation costs $50 (US funds). This will entitle the bearer to priority purchasing of Full Tickets, once they go on sale.

It sounds like the $50 will buy you a place in line, to buy the tickets... ? Does that sound right?

 

PASTED FROM NIAGARA

Looks just like the Noble Collection one eh.

PM me if you want to know where and how much these are...I think I may be getting one.

Its nickel instead of sterling silver, but its a dead ringer.

I'm going the eowyn look, yet from the third movie. I like her newer costumes.

 

I've changed my mind and Decided to make this costume here...

I love that dress, and I figure if I grow my hair for....the next several years I may just get it that long

I am *very* grateful that I still have a few months in which to make this costume, I'm going to need them!

 

Still going with good old Samwise Gamgee. None better

 

I just asked someone on one of the tolkien boards and the $50 is for the ticket itself

 

Bailey, check out this site : http://www.much-ado.net/eowyn/eowyn.html

They have tons of Eowyn pictures.

 

$50 a ticket?

Thats much more like it

Wow! Great Site Tessa! Thanks

 

No problem. I'm glad I found it myself. It'll be great for my costume design

 

A quote from the official message board:

Yes. WE have hesitated to call them "tickets" because we did not have certain contracts signed. We call them Early-Bird reservations as a preliminary name, but the reservation is really a ticket. There is nothing else to pay to get into the convention. As posted before, there will be another optional event at Medieval Times on Tuesday night, with a separate ticket to purchase(not on sale yet).

The $50.00 fee you pay for an Early-Bird Reservation(later to be call tickets) allows you access to the three day convention, including all workshops, lectures and exhibits, AND one showing each of FOTR, TTT and ROTK.

 

Now, to round up the money

And Medevil times? Wicked! This will be enjoyably fun!

 

Where can we get the tickets from?

 

The net?

 

Dammit, first the money on the must-have costume, then the money on the must-have ticket, now the money on the must-go Medieval Times....

Josh is gonna be a very poor boy this December!

*hopes Santa gives him the combined economic strength of several European countries this year*

 

Pick the tickets up now.. it costs less.. just like TorCon.

 

Where can we get the tickets from Tessa?

My costume is about 80% finished, I found the rest of the parts for the gold belt yesterday

 

The website! Grr-Argh!
