Aaron2029 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Hi all. Attended Destination Star Trek London in 2012. The Captain talks were paid events, but the guest (group talks) were free but tickets were required and the queue for these tickets was understandably very long and was the first port of call for many. Will this event have free/paid guest group talks? Will tickets be handed out in the same manner as DSTL (first come first served basis)?. Thanks for any advice. Will hopefully be flying into Birmingham to attend. Edited August 27, 2016 by Aaron2029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 At the last London event the free talks weren't ticketed, you could just show up and if there wasn't a free seat you could just stand at the back. Worked well I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petertina Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 They did not partition off the area for the free talks last time so as said previously people could stand outside the seating area. You could see the talks from a distance. Not like 2012 when they were behind partitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 First come first served, as stated in the FAQ on the event home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Fooku Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I don't think they really had queues for the free talk area, it wasn't a roped off area or anything. Might be my memory playing tricks but I'm not sure if they even cleared the area after each talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 They don't usually for the free talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideyfoot Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Does anyone know if the talks are likely to start early, especially if there are going to be queues? I'll be Megabusing it on the 06:40 from Bristol on the Saturday, so should be there relatively early, but not right from the start. I'm guessing I'll get to the NEC about 09:30/10, something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Usually talks don't start right at opening, just for the reason that there are Queues to get inside. But we do not have exact start times yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slideyfoot Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Cool, thanks: I'll keep an eye on the threads here, then. Is this forum the best place for announcements like that, or is there a Facebook page or whatever that's more active and up-to-date? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this forum the best place for announcements like that, or is there a Facebook page or whatever that's more active and up-to-date? :) if you search for the event name on FB, you will find a very active group of over 200 of us chatting regularly about the event. It is a non official group, but the majority of us will be attending. Edited September 5, 2016 by robmoriarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibble Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I remember queueing for a free ticketed talk for an hour at DST 2012 and when the theatre was cleared there was a huge rush from people who had not queued and it was a bit of a scramble for a seat. I just hope this will not happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
