How does it work then?  I wasn't there in the early hours so I'm interested how it all happens.  Do you all queue at the same door (which one?) & when they finally open the doors, what happens?  Is it a mad dash to find the person handing out the tickets for the guest(s) you want or do you file past the ticket people?  What happens once you have your tickets?  Can the first people start queuing at the guests tables or do you have to wait a while???

I got there at 9am and eventually found a door open into the centre then I found the queue.  There was three of us so we spilt into three different queues.  Seans, I got into the 200's, Doms was in the top 100's and Elijah's was about 480

i was there AT 6 am and 2nd in the que at the main doors and i was 4th in elijahs que. so early is the best way. they opend one small door. not a double door, and let one person through a time every 10 secs and u weren't aloud to run and then showmasters did the wrong thing by given tickets out straight away when they was supposed to wait till 10. i was 4th in lij's que, 48 in seans and in the 100's with both dom and andy.

So when you had been given your ticket for one guest, did you join a queue for another one?  And when you had all the tickets did you go to the section where Elijah would be signing and start queuing to meet him?

[ann+sara+emma+dani]

yeah, once we had tickets for one person, we went to the next person etc etc in order of preference i suppose. then i think it depends what number ticket you had- if you had an early one, most people went and got in the queue but if you've got a late-ish one, you might aswell wander aroudn meeting other people first.

we got there at about 6:30am or something. you may have heard us singing carpenters songs in the queue and dancing around, playing cup, trying to get our legs on each others shoulders and generally annoying everyone by being v hyper so early in the morn!

I was there at about 8 - 8.30 and they wouldnt let us in. But i saw a cleaner going through a back door so i like..ran in    but it wasnt fair coz they were letting people in one at a time and there was already a big queue

[Melde_Amy]

I thought it was good they let people in slowly so it wasnt a big rush or anything.
