I had a fantastic time, and am glad to hear there is already plans for another. I agree the crew were all friendly and helpful and I liked to the hotel setting so much more. I thought the photos and auto going by group letter also worked very well and I loved the drinks reception and the meet and greet.

Now I have booked train ticket too. I'm sure I am missing something, howerer I have no idea what.

98% packed, schedule and ticket printed, need to work out travel and book my train ticket now. Oh and get money I forot I wanted to bring cash.

I just got a email with my group letter so check your inbox

Thanks for the head up on the schedule now being up, I've only had a peek but confusing may be a accurate word.

I've only just realised there is going to be a bouncy castle I may look foward to that more than is probally reasonable.

I'm getting pretty excited now its getting closer and i'm slightly more prepared, I have finally got outfits for all 3 partys and some new colthes I actally like for the daytime. I've had a fantastic time at the prior Sherlocked events but i wanted to see and do everything so spent a lot of time getting stressed out about how on earth I could fit everything in. I don't want to see everyone this year so i'm hopping i can relax a bit more, and maybe even get to see a talk from start to finish, without having to clock watch then run out halfway though coz i've got 3 phootshoots all going on a same time. Saying that i think the last time i felt relaxed was possibly in the 20th century so I may mayme holding on to a tad too much hope there

I'm so not ready either, but I'm trying not to panic, at least untill the scedule comes out and i realise I need to in 6 different places at once yet again.

Now its geting closer i'm begining to get excited. Anyone getting dressed up for the partys? I'm planning too.

I just upgraded my ticket a couple of days ago if that helps, but you can probally do it up untill the event or tickets run out.

I will be going this year as well have organised ticket and hotel room. Could't afford a platimun ticket out right so will try to upgrade later. I'm i bit confused though some people are confirming the hotel took a £30 charge I was charged the full £300. On the plus side though I booked a twin by mistake I thought I was stuck with it as said it was non changable but they switched me with no hassale.

It was lovely talking to you all here before, during and after the convention. Goodbye till the next time! Bye everyone, see you next time!

I agree with count fooku the crew manning Benidicts queue did clearly state at least while i was there that if you were above gold batch 2 then then to come back for the afternoon session as they would not get that far. Unfortunately i think some still hung around in hope.

Didn't want to leave my hotel room today and accept thats its all over, and life goes back to normal. Friday was as others have said a lot less hetic than last year went on a wild spending spree on Friday night with no thought as to how I was going to get it all home, until today. I feel like there was a big effort made in the planning this year so there was less schedules clashes for all yet somehow I still missed more. Best guests for me were Andrew, Amanda and Louise you can just tell how much they adore meeting their fans and were thrilled to be there.

Pleasantly surprised I got Benenidict signature early with hardly any queing. When I saw he was there and it said platinum 1-50 I asked what time to come back as im 173 but they just waved me right through

Guess when i upgraded i got bumped back coz i booked my original ticket within the first minute of tickets going live.

I'm Plat A ticket number 173. Recognisable by my long red hair. Maggie im not sure that helps much but at least now you know there are more than 173 of us plat types now.

I'm finally packed with train tickets booked. Off to bed now before heading off in the morning.

Well at least i didn't imagine it. I'm not sure i'll make it before the hall opens for most due to photo ops. Well I supose I could queue grab a seat then dash out for my photo. Whatever happens I will still enyoy myself I did last year.

I'm staying at the Excel Styles too and if my wi-fi doesn't work I'll be straight down to reception as I need it to stave off any panic attacks I might have over sleeping. (I have my comfort blanket and one of them is to play a relaxation youtube video via my phone or my laptop. The very thought of having no internet is making me anxious. I hate to tell you but I stayed in the ibis styls last year and the wifi was patchy at best.

getting stressed now, tried to book in on line at my hotel but apparently i cant because i used booking.com. Trying to tell myself eveything will be okay but my anxiety issues won't play nicely and excitment now tipped into panic. Random question last year i'm sure a number of seats in the main talk hall were held back for late arrivers of plat and gold groups after the talks had started. Did I image this, this year it only say piority seating subject to arriving before the hall opens.

Just hours left to go now, i'm equal parts excited and worried, and i'm still not packed.

I've printed off all tickets and lady pinks schedule, brought a new dress and shoes for party night, plus washed the rest of the clothes i want to take and have rough mental image of what I want to pack tomorrow. The schedule looks mostly doable. Quick question though if a person has two photo shots like lousie on sunday can i go to either one? Also on sunday Rupert's photo starts the same time a louises talk, the talk sould finish 15 min before the photots end, should I stay for all the talk then rush to the photo or do the photo first then rush to the talk a just end up sitting futher back?

That might have been me! I felt really quite awkward sometimes being moved forward and felt really sorry for everyone who'd been waiting ages. Yeah I felt that way too last year, it was margenly better when someone in a offical shirt shuffled you in, it was worse where one of the queues had no supervison the people queuing were like well your gold so you should go before me.

I'm staying at the Novotel this year.
