Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"

[dtissagirl]

You guys at the con, have immense amounts of fun this weekend! <3

[Chaser]

Someone at the Con said that the times were wrong, the Olicity Op is actually 45mins?

395. Dang. Are Cons normally this expensive? I have a friend who want to a Supernatural convention and she spent $750 for the whole weekend. That included photos/autographs with both Jensen and Jared and admission.

No. A joint photo op with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth is $400 at Wizard World Philly. $566 for a pic with a bunch of CW stars - it's exorbitant. I really hope it's a misprint. Even if it's everyone still on Arrow + KC, that's more than they charge for individual pictures combined.

It better be everyone on Arrow plus KC plus CH plus CL plus BR with special appearance by MR.

[Midnight Lullaby]

To justify that price I think it could be SA, DR, EBR, JB, WH, CH, CR, KC, the actress who played Cupid and the actor who played Deadshot and maybe even BR..

[Chaser]

I'm super curious now who is involved in the photo.

I wish it was listed on the site.

[Morrigan2575]

I'll ask when i get to the front of the line. Probably sometime in the next 5 years

Since there's about a £5 discount off of the individual prices for the duo/trio photo, it should include every non-Flash attendee who's on or has ever been on Arrow. That's about a £3 discount off of the individuals. I still think that's way too much to ask for a photo op with the cast of a CW show.

Damnx i forgot to ask who wasin that Team Arrow photo but i think it's everyone that's on Arrow.

I was able to get tix to the Oliciry Photo Op, DR lounge and EBR Auto. Emily's lounge was sold out which sucks. 

I'm in Hall 2 so I'll get DR panel tomorrow morning EBR and SA on Sunday.  

[looptab]

What do the lounges entail? Are they basically an additional panel but with fewer people attending?

[Morrigan2575]

Semi private meeting, it's the celeb and about 30 guests for 30 minute discussion

Anyone have questions for DR? Can't promise ill be brave enough to ask but I'll try

[Chaser]

What's an auto?

Sucks about Emily's lounge. Was there only one scheduled?

[Tallis]

Lounges are (usually) just a small group and it's more a conversation than a Q&A. Very casual and chatty.

[Morrigan2575]

Auto = Autograph

EBR had 2 lounges both sold out

Auto = Autogragh. Lol that would make sense.

EBR is selling out the private meetings. The Con in Paris added another for her.

I don't have questions, but I suggest you ask him for a hug, if you have a chance. The consensus from con attendees is that DR gives the best hugs

[looptab]

That seems cool! Glad that you got to get the ticket for that. The system for tickets doesn't seem very fair, if as I seem to understand they are following  alphabetical order.

[Chaser]

I'm curious about what is selling and so far the only sold out I'm hearing of is Emily's lounges. Olicity photo op might sell out (one person said there were 26 left).

I haven't seen anyone buying the Team Arrow photo.

[JenMD]

Someone on Twitter just mentioned a little while ago they bought the Team Arrow photo op. 

As for merchandise, the Felicity Funko Pop is gone.

That's a lot of money to splash out without some serious consideration. Wait until after they've hit the bar :D

I can't imagine spending a month's worth of rent on one photo. But I'm sure someone will. 

[wonderwall]

Oh I can totally imagine someone getting that photo-op. Because while that amount might be rent for someone, it'd be someone else's shopping money they can blow off in 10 minutes... But I doubt there are a lot of people who'd pay that much for a photo-op...

I'm all for playing the game and charging as high a price as possible, but when that affects demand so severely that hardly anyone buys those photo-ops then yeah, that's a problem... No. That's borderline idiotic.

[lemotomato]

I guess if very few people bought the photo op, they'll probably have a minute or two to hang out with the cast. Unlike the really popular ones where you get rushed in and out.

[Midnight Lullaby]

I saw people picking the whole cast photo op at other cons and sharing it with other fans to save money. I guess they could do it here as well if they really want it.

[wonderwall]

Honestly the people who coordinated this and picked the pricing are idiots who didn't do their research. It bugs me even more because they tweeted about how it's an OTA reunion but it really isn't... I'm not a fan of how they mislead some of the fans who were hoping to get some OTA out of the con...

[bijoux]

From CR's Instagram,

charlotteross2 #COH2 w/ @italiaricci &@dpanabaker ?? #uk

[lemotomato]

So apparently no photos, videos, or livetweeting are allowed at the COH2 event. (No tweeting? Good luck trying to enforce that) I hope people there remember that their phone probably has a voice recording app.

[Morrigan2575]

I think it was only for that meet and greet. The Do's and Dont's say you can take photos, vids, social media etc for personal use.

[bijoux]

It makes sense. It doesn't undermine their business, if anything, it promotes it.

[lemotomato]

I'm not sure if that's genuine confusion on Colton's part, or if he's just acting, but still, heehee.

[Velocity23]

[bijoux]

I just saw that. Fingers crossed for people who wanted different combos than were originally offered.

[Velocity23]

[Velocity23]

Jesus. KC. Are you serious?

[Velocity23]

[looptab]

I kinda suspected something like this would happen, though I hoped not because I'm sure there are her fans there as well. I mean, she was nowhere to be seen in the other casts' snaps and pics. :/

Stephens panel:

Oooh that's good. They need to change that jacket and they probably realized going sleeveless in Vancouver wasn't the brightest idea.

Also I noticed how SA kept talking about the BM storyline and I understand he wanted to play a dad that he said multiple times but really what he got to play on screen was the lying fiancée so I kept laughing at the tweets about that. It's fine to admit the writers used the Oliver as a dad idea as a plot point, LOL.

[Velocity23]

I guess this is why she is missing today. And she is still in London.

[Morrigan2575]

just got out of the DR Lounge, very fun room. He talked about a few things. He thought Felicity/ Ray should have been played out more. Thought Felicity would have pucked someone like Ray in real life.   Seriously did not know that people considered Ray creepy or a stalker. he tried arguing with the ladies in the panel until I told him he's never win this one.

He likes Darhk as a Villian and Neal M as an actor. Said that he liked the Ra's actor but felt the character didn't work. 

wants Arrow to get back to the street level. He doesn't think Arrow should be about stopping Nukes. Said leave that to the Flash, also wants Brick back as a good 1/2 season villain 

i asked him what he thought of Supergirl going to the CW. He thought it would be good for them  (Arrow and CW I guess). Said what WB is doing with the TV stuff is amazing, the movies less so.

[Morrigan2575]

CR was just asked about alternate love interests for Donna she suggested Donna as a cugar making out with Ramsey. (Smart Lady)

Italia had a casting call for Huntress and Robbie asked her to pass on the audition so she wouldn't make out with his cousin so she passed. Said it would have been weird kissing her cousin.

Apparently CR going down on her knees in that breakup episode  was her idea because Mama Smoak was horny. Said that she didn't think the crew approved because the whole scene ended up being a close up. Also said that Paul was nervous with tha scene

[looptab]

Wait, correct me if I'm wrong about the billionaire playboy thing - did he mean that he was against it - so, I imagine, expressing it from the beginning - because it undermined LL? 

[Guest]

Ugh, DR! Not you too with the Raylicity crap. What is up with that? Sigh. Haha.

LOL SA is never gonna let the baby mama stuff go. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the last we see of them anyway. They'll be back.

Also I love the thought of SA doing that Constantine line with a British accent just for fun and EBR saying it was good so they kept it. That's exactly how I picture them to be on set tbh.

Instead I would be surprised if they came back anytime soon with the way the writers wrote them. I saw no interest in exploring that from them.
