Auto Assembly 2009 Two Weeks To Go!
Auto Assembly 2009 is now just two weeks to go and is already Europe's biggest ever Transformers convention with almost 450 people pre-registered to-date, beating the previous European attendance record of 423 set by Auto Assembly 2008 and we're still getting bookings coming in all the time... We are now convinced that we will hit the magical figure of 500 attendees that European events have wanted to reach for so long...
Booking Deadlines Updated
Even though the convention is incredibly close now, there is STILL time for you to pre-register! As we have said, the cut-off dates for pre-registrations were set a few weeks ago and are:-
Standard online bookings for weekend and one-day passes (UK):- 10th August 2009
Standard online bookings for weekend and one-day passes (International):- 3rd August 2009
Standard postal bookings for weekend and one-day passes (UK):- 5th August 2009
Standard postal bookings for weekend and one-day passes (International):- 3rd August 2009
Non-Attendee package purchases (worldwide):- 9:00 pm, 12th August 2009
So obviously for those of you living outside of the UK you need to get your bookings in VERY QUICKLY. However, for those of you who are booking for the FULL WEEKEND ONLY, we can offer you the chance to collect your passes on the Friday evening and we will send out your info packs and confirmation details electronically. This will ONLY apply to weekend pre-registrants and you must email us at the same time as booking to take advantage of this and colection of passes MUST be made on Friday 14th August. Bookings made for collection can only be taken online and must be made by no later than 9:00 pm on 12th August 2009 to allow us to produce your passes ready for collection.
Please note that these are the ABSOLUTE latest date that we can accept bookings and guarantee that your passes will reach you in time for the convention. If you book after these dates, we will do everything possible to get your passes to you before the convention takes place but please bear in mind the time taken for delivery and that we will have work pressures and we will be preparing, dismantling and packing all of our equipment for the convention on Wednesday 12th August so NO bookings will be able to be processed after 9:00 pm on that date.
We do anticipate that we will have on-the-door places available but at the moment we do not know how many of these there will be and tickets are selling very quickly at the moment. These will be announced on the website once pre-bookings close but to ensure your place pre-registration is recommended.
Hasbro Make A Return!
Yes, Hasbro are returning to Auto Assembly! Once again there will be a display from Hasbro and this time they will be sending a display along to the convention showcasing the 2009 toy range with twice as much space as they had last year! Once again, they will also be donating a huge amount of toys to the Charity Auction and Raffle...
Next Of Kins Performs Auto Assembly Official Theme Song
If you haven't read it on the website, Auto Assembly 2009 now has it's own official theme song for the convention. Written and performed by Next Of Kin who are appearing in concert at the convention on the Saturday evening doing a show of covers from the Animated movie, their song "Transform" has been chosen as the convention anthem for 2009. "Transform" was originally submitted to Paramount for inclusion in the soundtrack for Revenge Of The Fallen. To take a listen to the song, watch a music video they put together here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RuB-E1ofKQ
Copies of the song will be available to buy at the convention on CD.
More convention updates very soon... For full details on Auto Assembly 2009 and to book your tickets, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk

On Tuesday we reported that
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen had moved into the top 10 grossing films within the US as predicted that it would rise higher this week. Well its already done just that having now grossed $380 million within the US and $795.3 million worldwide, This means that the film has Star Wars Episode III - Return of the Sith into 9th position in the
US domestic charts and has passed E.T into 22nd position in the
Worldwide charts. We expect the movie to move into 21st position in the worldwide charts within the next 24 hours and to take the 20th slot over the weekend when the total gross of the film we expect will reach a staggering $800 million. Stay right here at Transformers At The Moon as we will keep you up-to-date with the latest on the financial success of the second live action Transformers Movie

Well its official, Auto Assembly 2009 will be Europe's largest (in terms of guests and attendance) dedicated Transformers convention ever! Yes we have received word from the organisers that over night it has broken the previous European record set by Auto Assembly in 2008 of 423.
Transforce held the record for a few years at 400 in 2002 until Auto Assembly beat that in 2005 with 409 attendees. In 2008 the event sent a new record of 423.
Remember we will be in attendance putting on the worlds largest display of Lucky Draws (though u will need to be their on the Sunday to see everything we have), so remember to stop by and introduce yourselves.
Auto Assembly 2009 Releases Final Single-Day Tickets!
With
Just 20 days to go before Auto Assembly 2009, we are now releasing the
FINAL batch of single day tickets for those of you unable to attend for
the full weekend...!
We have now released a further 45 single day passes for
the Saturday and Sunday and once these have sold out, the only way you
will be able to get a one-day pass will be as an on-the-door attendee
and these will be sold on a first come, first served basis subject to
availability. We do have plenty of full weekend passes available still
and these are not subject to any restrictions on sales numbers so if
you want a full weekend pass you still have time to book these, but as
the convention is getting closer, you don't want to miss out...
The cut-off dates for pre-registrations are looming
ever closer and for those of you living within the UK, you MUST get
your bookings in by 10th August 2009 to allow us enough time to process
them and post your passes out to you. If you live outside of the UK, we
are recommending that you book no later than 3rd August. Any later and
we can not be held responsible for delays in the postal system.
If you wish to collect your passes on the weekend
itself in person, we will be looking into this for WEEKEND ATTENDEES
ONLY but please contact us to discuss this.
Single day attendees will get access to the FULL
convention on your chosen day including all the dealers, workshops, all
the guest talks, FREE autograph sessions, our goodie bags, and
everything else that weekend attendees have. However, weekend attendees
gain earlier admission to the convention and have access to the
exclusive Saturday evening programme with our voice actor script
reading, live band and disco and the bonus Friday evening programme.
Single day passes are just £25 for adults and £18 for
children/concessions.
Full weekend tickets are still available and are £45
for adults and £35 for children/students/senior citizens with under 5s
being FREE. Family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) are just £145
saving £15. Don't miss out on your chance to be a part of what is going
to be a great weekend celebrating 25 years of the Transformers!! The
convention is already about to break the European attendance record
from pre-registrations alone so isn't now the time you should be a part
of it?!
Finally, our main convention hotel is now FULL for the
Saturday night for accommodation so we have now moved onto an overflow
hotel nearby and are also investigating a THIRD for accommodation. If
you are travelling and do need somewhere to stay, we can't stress the
urgency now of booking sooner rather than later to get somewhere to
stay as well as your ticket for the event! Hotel details will be sent
with your booking confirmation. The Holiday Inn, and our overflow hotel
have ample rooms for the Friday and Sunday evenings but Saturday is
only available in the overflow hotel.
