Fans may feel like right plonkers after paying £150 to meet Del Boy star Sir David Jason – because they can’t even take a selfie with him.
Only VIPs paying at least £325 to attend a convention will be able to have a photo with the Only Fools and Horses favourite.
One angry ticket holder attending the Only Fools get together next month, said: “It sounds like a money-making scheme straight out of Nelson Mandela House.”
The ‘no selfies’ rule is among a string of terms and conditions at the DoubleTree by Hilton event in Milton Keynes, Bucks.
Its Frequently Asked by Plonker Questions states: “There will be no selfies at the event with Sir David Jason. Selfies are left to the discretion of the other guest actors, although most are very happy to pose for a photograph if asked politely.” There is also a ban on autographs from Sir David, 84, and doting fans are not allowed to hand him gifts.
No lovely bubbly – or any alcohol – will be served either, meaning guests will have to settle for tea, biscuits and pop. Last year, a bottle of Peckham Spring Water – made for the legendary sitcom’s 1992 Christmas special – went under the hammer for £2,600.
Sir David, who as Del boasted, “This time next year, we’ll be millionaires”, gets regular royalties, plus other TV, theatrical and voiceover fees.
He hires out his helicopter and has written a best-selling memoir, A Del of a Life.
The convention was due to be held last year but was postponed after Sir David had a hip op. He said at the time: “Unfortunately, I’ve been advised I need a new bionic body part fitted.”
