Raylenth Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They should do, that's the whole point of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) They should do, that's the whole point of it. From my experience they just start letting in the Golds at 8:50 and standard entry at 9:00. They don't wait for all golds to be in, so if you're at the back of the gold line there is a chance that some of the standard entry people get in before you, depending on how long it takes to get the gold pass holders in. They are separate queues and entrances though, it's not like they tread on each other or anything. Edited June 8, 2016 by Wrong Name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDeTemps Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 How long does it take for normal entry to get in after doors open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's hard to answer - if you are first in the queue, 1 second, last a bit longer. There are only Gold and Standard entry tickets so Standard's are allowed in at 9am and everyone was in fairly quickly last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedammit Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Last year i was inside at 8.40 Â Yeah, but you rappelled out of a helicopter onto the roof, crowbarred a door open then crawled through the vents to get in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Shhhh, everyone will try that now! Â RoryMcGarret is trying something new this year so I've heard. She's coming in by stealth potato. Edited June 8, 2016 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) One of the times I went Gold, they didn't let us in till gone 9am. It's never an exact time, just a guesstimate. Edited June 8, 2016 by Murph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Â Last year i was inside at 8.40 Â Yeah, but you rappelled out of a helicopter onto the roof, crowbarred a door open then crawled through the vents to get in. Haha no. It was a mistake as i didn't have gold pass only YALC and they let us in by mistake before golds came in. But they promised it won't happen again. Shhhh, everyone will try that now! Â RoryMcGarret is trying something new this year so I've heard. She's coming in by stealth potato. Yes! I will ask random people to hold my potato!

Raylenth Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Some of it was the crew who were on queue control being efficient and making people bunch up to decrease the space between people in the queue meaning those further down would then be moving forward. Also IIRC the crew on ticket duty started early before the doors openend and came down the line asking for anyone with weekend tickets to identify themselves - they then checked the tickets and gave them their wrist bands. Â That meant that those weekend people could just show their bands when getting to the head of the queue and saved a lot of time as they didn't then have to stop and hold up the queue at the door.

Faerie Tanith Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I was checked when I went in the first time. However at one point I found myself outside (went down in a lift and came out God knows where) and had to walk around back through the main entrance to get back in, and I wasn't checked at all that time. Since I wasn't stamped or anything (I don't know if they were doing that regardless) I was a bit nervous, even though I still had my e-ticket, but I didn't get a second glance. It makes me wonder who else they potentially just let in off the street though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yes, hand stamps were still being done. I imagine Crew were not automatically offering them to anyone leaving - that would have meant a pretty big backlog at the Exit. Any time you leave and plan to return please get a handstamp. Â If you got out and in again without one that was a lucky exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Well I didn't intend to leave. I got a lift down from the top floor which led to a warehouse-type area at the back. I had to walk back through the entrance because that was my only way back in, I didn't get a chance to be stamped regardless because I didn't leave via the main doors.

Faerie Tanith Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Probably not! There were quite a few of us in the lift as well as a crew member. Definitely an interesting detour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I am not even sure if you used an official exit there. Â We had the same "problem" when we took a lift from the top floor. Finally we came along where the YALC entry was and we got a handstamp there. So we could go out and straight back in through the main entrance.

natedammit Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I too got a lift down to some random place. I stood there confused for a moment and got back in the lift. Â It seems like many of us were taken in by this mysterious elevating device, taking us to weird places - but was it even a lift???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
