    As for taking pictures on your phone, that's a definite no-no in the photoshoot, and he may well have a 'no photos' sign up for his autos queue.

    But as for 'getting close' to the big man, just buy a photoshoot ticket and you'll be able to get as close as you've ever wanted. Snuggle right up to the gorgeous lump of Hawaiian meat. 

    Or you can join the virtual queue to get an autograph. However if you get a very high number there is a chance your number won't come up and you won't get an autograph. Only guaranteed way to meet him is to buy a photoshoot or a diamond pass.

    Do you think arriving at 6:30-7AM on the Sunday would give me a good chance of being towards the front of the queue? A couple of guests I want (Paul McGann, Steven Moffat, Matthew Wood) aren't on DP (and I couldn't afford more DPs for Pearl Mackie and David Bradley) but I'm aware there will be a rush for VQ tickets. Should I get there earlier?

    (Appreciate nobody can "guarantee" anything but just looking for a good heads up)

    I think you'll be OK.

    I have a three-day ticket.

    I do not intend to race anyone for any VQ tickets.  It's all photo shoots and talks for me  -- and, as it turns out, nearly all of it is Sunday.

    Assume I come at some point on Friday to get my wristband and wander the floor.  

    Assume my action Sunday (not as crazy as many of yours, but certainly fun-filled) starts 'round about 10.

    When would you recommend arriving at Kensington/Olympia station?  I'm trying to avoid the rush of everyone queueing to be let in when the doors open.  I keep imagining a magical world where I walk right up and get let in without queueing around the building, but I don't know if that actually exists.

    On Friday you will have to queue to get the wristband, but on the other days you just show it and get through if you arrive after opening time. You just have to have a quick bag inspection and then you're in. If you arrive at 9:30 e.g., you don't have to queue around the building.

    So I’m going on the Sunday and have batch 4 for Daniel Gillies photoshoot. At the minute, batch 3/4 is possibly going to be at the same time as Gold Pass holders (I haven’t yet seen this finalised, it just says possible). I just want to know what time I should be where as I’ll probably get lost or confused- when will it turn to ‘definite?’.. I also have a Paul Wesley diamond pass so if this is the case, I should be able to see Daniel Gillies and Paul Wesley nearly straight after each other and then just pop along to the talk in the afternoon. Is that correct? Sorry all, first timer here..

    I don't think you can get a definite estimate on what batches will be called for the morning shoot. It depends how many DP, GP and low-batch people go for the morning shoot. So you can only guess in advance.

    Always assumed they were non-refundable or exchangeable (is that a word?). Will ask on Friday when I get there.

    Thanks for replying

    You can get a refund/exchange if there is such a serious clash that it would be impossible to go to both. Got a refund on a talk first year I came for that reason.

    Just tried to arrange my schedule and this little pearler has cropped up:- Emily Carey, Area 'F' @ 12:05; Dukes Of Hazard group in the car zone @ 12:15; Jack O'Halloran, Area 'A' @12:20.

    Would any repliers think that is the best order to do them in? Considering each area isn't near to each other and each shoot is about 10 minutes long?

    Cheers,

    This seems like a tough one. And they are all short photo shoots. Any chance you can exchange one of the photo shoots for another day (provided you have booked to come another day)? You should be able to exchange/get a refund since there is such a serious clash.

    Hi guys, I wondered if someone could advise me on my photoshoots for Sunday. I have: 

    Matt Smith - Diamond Pass

    Christopher Eccleston - Diamond Pass

    Arthur Darvill - Batch 3

    They are all quite close together in the morning so I just wondered if someone could advise what order to do them. I know that I might end up doing Arthur Darvill's photos in the afternoon with my Batch 3 but I'm working on the assumption that I could do the morning shoot so I'm fully prepared!

    I'd suggest trying Arthur Darvill first, since his ends at 10, then Matt Smith, then Christopher Eccleston.

    Is this the final schedule now? The thread title says "Updated 23/7" but I can't see any indication that it is final. I need to print this out before tomorrow so would be grateful if someone could let me know.

    There's always a chance of updates, so I'd say wait to print at the last moment before you go, and check again on the days of the con. That's what I'll do.

    It will, but there's only so much the air con can do in an old building with a glass roof and lots of people inside it at one time, Winter.

    Unfortunately this is true. It will be easier in the talk areas and also on the 2nd floor where the YALC takes place.

    Tickets....

    You might want to wait to see if more are added though. I'm not sure if that will happen with entry tickets, but you'd be annoyed if you bought a full adult one and then some more appeared.

    That might be risky as most tickets are sold out, so probably adult tickets are also low.

    Autographs

    in London Film & Comic Con 2018

    Posted

    And you only pay when you get close to the guest's desk for the actual autograph. So you could collect virtual tickets for 10 guests and only go to 1, since you don't pay until you go for the autograph. You may need to queue early if you want autographs for popular guests; if you get a very high VT number it may not be called on the day. Also you can go any time after your number is called. So for example if you have number 100 and they are calling 1-200, you can go, you don't miss your turn.
