I called them shortly after I bought the tickets. The guy said (in short), it's Doctor Sleep + 1. I called the next day and talked to a different person and he said that there would be a one hour signing. I asked about the number of books King agreed to sign and the answer was "don't know."
I really, really, hope I'm wrong and they honour the announcement but I have this feeling that the PEN folk aren't 100% on what's really going to happen.
Everyone calling (as mentioned) just fucks things up. These venues and charities have in most cases never done something like this before. The only freaks repetitively calling are people like us. The calls actually help them figure out how to make sure collectors can't intelligently tip the odds in their favor for a signed book.
Stop fucking things up for everyone. Be surreptitious, but don't ruin the deal for everyone.
That is what I was trying to say! The more they think about it the more they can do to screw it up for us. LIke kingfan said, if everyone is getting a book unsigned as they come in and then they hand out 200 to live people on the way out. extra tickets were meaningless.
You can't blame people for calling and trying to figure out how the signing will be. If just by calling you fuck up the signing it's the organizer's blame, not the one who calls.
Wanted list:
Ubris
Does not mater whose fault it is...the net result is it is screwing other people (potentially).

As TN, and perhaps others, know, I have never been a proponent of calling hosting organizations for these events. Too much conflicting information, most of which is unreliable as the plans develop and change and most of their own people have no clue as to the plan anyway. Personally I try to maintain the goal of going to events with the low expectation of receiving the minimum value you paid for and with the expectation of enjoying yourself. Beyond that, as a signature hound, stay aware, think creatively, be respectful, and try not to piss off the staff unnecessarily.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
The James Herbert signing I went to last year in Waterstones was a poorly organised shambles. The actual signing was a free for all with no staff organising a line to wait in. Everyone just gathered at the signing table in a crowd. Thankfully Mr. Herbert was very patient and courteous, staying to almost midnight and signing (with dedications) for everyone.

I was on the phone with my wife when Mr King walked into one bookstore I was canvasing and as I told her he headed toward the back she questioned, "Why didn't you follow him?". When I mentioned that he might be on his way to the bathroom she understood my thought of restraint. Instead I just waited (with book in hand) by the display of his books and was rewarded with a greeting and handshake (as well as some signatures). I never even thought to wonder if he had washed his hands at the time.
