Many apologies, but it is going to be a very busy weekend, and everything has to be spaced out accordingly

I can assure you, that it is all considered very carefully before a schedule is written.

Of course i know that photoshoots can't all be at the same time, but is it really THAT impossible to make sure the very first photosession in the day is one for a guest whose tickets were pre-sold, and to put a guest whose ticket are not being pre-sold at some point later on? That would definitely ease some people's mind making things more relaxed for them as they would have more time to buy a ticket and that would also give a chance to SM to increase ticket sales as the longer tickets can be bought the more you can sell.

Not a complain or a moan, just out of curiosity as i really don't see the logic behind it

We had a lot of changes to make at the last minute. We're only human, it got missed!

I'll look to see if there's something we can do to help this on the day.

No problem, thanks for the answer Too Tall! Of course we're all human and i understand some things may be missed, but i just found it strange as it was already the case at LFCC last year with Cary. Because of that i thought it was somehow intentional and couldn't see the logic behind it.
Anyway, only one day to go!!!

Could always sell photoshoot tickets to people as they queue outside - might make it a little easier once the gates open?

It's one idea. As I say I'll be looking into it.

Sort of, sorry. If you attend the photo shoot then it is inevtiable that you will miss some of the talk.

That should be fine. Depending on your John Barrowman ticket number you may have to speak to the crew about having a clash with Sylvester, and they will do their best to get you through as quickly as possible. It may be a case of going to Sylvester first and then coming back to John as his lasts longer.  The other two won't be an issue at all, as they take place after each other.

That's doable. If you are running tight at the John Barrowman photoshoot tell crew you have a ticket for Sylvester's, they will help you. That's the only possible problem I see. The other gaps are large enough. Still, if you are running tight on time please do the same, grab a crew member and let them know of your next shoot.

EDIT: Or what 1of2 already typed. SHould have hit refresh.

Yes, there's normally some taxis around.

you could also try calling

[jedimasterguff]

Can anyone tell me how many tickets are left for the 5 Doctors shoot? I'll be making the 7 hour drive down tonight/this morning just for this shoot so I really don't want to be disappointed when I arrive!

[1of2]

Sorry but that information is not normally provided.

Also as the event has started now the actual ticket numbers remaning can potentially change minute by minute.

Maybe, anybody can answer... Can you tell me how much a taxi ride from Luton Airport to Milton Keynes?

Thx

I have ticket 11 for Paul McGann at 9.50 but have ticket 1 for Peter Davison at 10am. Any advice on what queue/shoot I should go to first?

Too much money. Do not attempt that please, that's way too expensive. There's busses running, that's the much cheaper method. There's a couple of local ones I am not 100 percent familiar with, and also http://www.nationale...s.com/home.aspx

Paul and tell them you have Peter's shoot. If for some reason Paul is running late go over to Peter's shoot and tell crew there you have a ticket for Paul.
