Simon Plumbe has updated the Auto Assembly website with the announce of what has tentatively been dubbed as the "W.A.G Pass". This pass allows you to get a discounted ticket for your significant other into Auto Assembly 2012.
"What we are going to be adding shortly is a cut-down pass intended
for partners. This will still give you full access to the convention
including all parts of the programme for the weekend, but it will not
get you one of the Auto Assembly 2012 goodie bags or entry into any of
our pre-convention prize draws. Our 2012 Goodie Bag is going to be our
best ever and will include a copy of Issue 13 of The Cybertronian Times,
an IDW exclusive comic, an original Auto Assembly comic, at least four
convention exclusive postcards and many more gifts so there are a lot of
great items that will not be included which – in previous years – would
have had a selling price in excess of £10." Simon explains before going on to state that "This new cut-down pass will only be available in limited quantities
and MUST be purchased at the same time as a normal adult weekend pass or
as an add-on to an existing adult ticket. They are only valid for the
full weekend and are likely to be priced at £37.50 each, saving £7.50.
Combining this with our fantastic room rate of £60 per night for a
double room at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, what better way to
introduce your partner to the wonders of Auto Assembly".
