I know the other thread got closed but I was informed today by red shirts at the sales desk and also info desk that Peter is only attending on Sunday. Can someone please confirm if this is true, as this has not been announced anywhere else. Thanks.

Queuing inside starts at 8, the gold pass queue sign takes you straight into the trading area with no more signs, no blue or red shirts around, spoke to 9 different people in yellow jackets who all told me to go to a different place, mostly back outside to queue somewhere else... eventually found the gaggle of red/blue shirts upstairs and one red shirt told me to go back outside and queue at entrance H and finally someone told me where to go. There's no videos playing or anything...

I'm only seeing one diamond pass talk, but the gold pass is supposed to include tickets to two. Are there going to be more added?

Please still do a James talk!

I wish so many people hadn't thrown them on the floor in the photo areas, I must have slipped on them about 5 times. I think they were a good idea, would have been better if they were a closer fit to the photo, they just about fit in my a4 plastic box so I had to be careful putting them in.

Stan Lee needed his own building!

Agree that all Darren's talks were good

I found it a little strange that the main stage were so adamant that there was to be no filming at all, and on the second stage the line was 'if you are going to film, please do it discreetly or we will have to tell you off'

We only had a few issues, overall the weekend was amazing and better than previous years, so things have definitely improved. Didn't get the chance to go and mention all of these to the organisers as we had such a tightly packed schedule, which is due to there being so many awesome guests, which we're really thankful for and enjoyed. gold entrance not before GA - both Saturday and Sunday GA were already in before we even got to the stairs and there was a made rush from them which made it difficult to get to the guest area Wil Wheaton talk - the guy doing the interview was awful. We've been to his talks before and found them very amateur but this guy talked more about Peter Capaldi's Doctor (absolutely nothing to do with Wil apart from him saying he's a fan) than anything Wil has done. Cringed through most of the interview. Mads Mikkelsen photo on Saturday - they swapped him with John Cleese and moved his shoot to 6pm, which was the same time as the GoT talk, eventually got our tickets swapped for Sunday (thanks to Samantha!) but the red shirt at photo C's attitude was terrible. There was a lot of miscommunication and the whole issue was handled badly, so people were trying to find out what was going on, then she shouted at a young girl in front of us, telling her if she got out of her way she could get on with her job, which made the girl scarper off in tears, which was awful to watch. VQ for Mads on sunday - the lady giving out VQ wouldn't give them until given the go ahead from someone in red, all others were giving them out and we all had to wait, firstly until 9, which came and went, and then until she could find someone to say she could start, which meant everyone there were late to everyone else. VQ for Benedict on sunday was so packed with people surrounding the guy for tickets that someone in a wheelchair just couldn't get close. This way of giving out VQs is not good, there should be an orderly queue, with a barrier to make sure people get them safely. Thankfully when I mentioned it, the guy giving them out took one ticket aside for the lady in the wheelchair to collect when she could get to him. Also, we understand the need for people to have loud booming voices when organising large groups, but having people shouting over the top of the talks on the main stage was frankly embarrassing for the guests who were trying to talk. Numerous times they had to stop talking because of them. Other than this we really really had a ball. Met everyone we wanted to and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and can't wait for the next one!

The app I'm talking about is called Addison Lee. You just register with them and then pick your start date/time/place and where you're going and it will offer you different prices based on the type of car you choose (£18.50 for a standard 1-4 passenger car). They are CRB checked drivers. in 2015 we got a taxi from Euston and there was a demonstration happening somewhere and we were in traffic for 45 minutes which really bumped up our taxi fare!

can I make a suggestion? If you're travelling across london, don't get a taxi, as you will have to pay to sit in traffic, you're better off ordering a car from somewhere like Addison Lee (they have a smartphone app that's easy to use), you can set your start and end point, get a bit more luxury than a taxi and get a good price which you can pay up front so you don't need to pay the driver and don't pay for sitting in traffic. They will send you text updates when your driver arrives etc. Usually we've used black taxis to olympia from euston and it's cost around £30, but I just checked Addison Lee and it's showing £18.50. Plus they have free wifi and phone chargers in their cars :)

Can someone confirm if there is a cloakroom or not? I can't remember from last summer. In these sub-zero conditions I don't want to carry a big coat around with me all day.

Good stuff. Makes it a whole lot better :)

If it's Game Of Thrones screening then please please let it be episode 8 of the most recent series!

Thanks for the clarification, but my question wasn't which talks are not included, so far I'm seeing a power rangers talk that is not diamond, is this the only one so far that is included in the gold pass?

Hi, I've had a quick look to see if this has been answered already but only found a post relevant to MJF, could someone please confirm which paid talks are included with the gold pass? Thanks!

Personally I would rather have 2x£10 vouchers to use towards autographs than 2xphotoshoots+2autographs@£10 I don't imagine I will want to see anyone who will be listed as £10 for photos or autos
