I would suggest being there before 9 for Carrie and Billy.
I'm on Facebook if any Collectormania fans want to add me!!

Those who are afraid to fall never fly. How will you ever know if you never try? Might just reach your goals and every dream, you can never be sure, if not you learn from mistakes you made, at least you’ll wonder no more. The saddest thing is a life never lived. A desired task never tried. Wishing stars never wished upon, left floating in the sky. Dreams left as dreams, hopes and ambitions pushed to the back of ones mind. If you never speak you’ll never be heard. If you don’t seek, you’ll never find. Never let them tell you that you can’t, shouldn’t or couldn’t. Never give them the satisfaction of being the reason that you wouldn’t. Never let their jealousy or disbelief be the reason you won’t try. Don’t let the only time, you ever really fly, be the day you die...

I am from Bristol.

Me and my Step Dad are sharing the driving, because I need the practice as my test is due at the end of the month.

I was there at 8am this morning and got no. 68 for Nick Brendon (even though there were only about 20 people ahead of me), and met him by 10:45am. Does anyone know whether the queues will start earlier or does it just get really busy only in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday? I wanna be able to meet the guests as soon as possible.

I live about 12miles from Bristol and from here to walking around in MK it is usually a good 3 hour trip so I dont expect to arrive until about 9am but I dont think that will be a problem, 9am is the time I have always arrived at Collectormania and I have never walked away without meeting who I set out to meet.
Also, I dont think all the tickets for Carrie and Billy Dee will be gone by 9am, they will probaley be in the 200s or 300s, just dont arrive at 11 or 12 and expect good tickets as they will probaley be in the 600s or completely gone.

As for when is best to arrive, the earlier you arrive the better the tickets will be, if you arrive in the afternoon alot of the popular guests might not have any tickets left at all so if you really want to meet a popular guests, get there for no later than 10am

You have to have a virtual queue ticket each. They won't let two people through to meet a guest on one ticket.

The stewards are giving out one ticket per person so that might screw up your plan. :o

Usually it's a seperate steward for each guest giving out the tickets so you'll have to que for each tickets you want.

Have you not got any friends to go with???????

There are two types of people in this world :
    Those who have read Lord of the Rings and those who are thinking about it.
