    Was a very poor turn out this year ive been going to showmasters Glasgow since it started the lack of amazing guests is the problem with this show good guest and the crowds will come 

    Totally agree.  Obviously we don't know how easy or difficult it is to get the big names north of the wall (pardon the GoT pun) and what it costs too, but big names = big crowds pretty much every time.  Then everyone wins.

    LFCC 2018 Schedule - UPDATED 26/7

    in London Film & Comic Con 2018

    I will be there on the Saturday and have a couple of clashes, one of which involves James Caan.  I got in early for buying his ticket so am in Batch 0 - if I go to the shoot that clashes and get finished in time, then get over to the James Caan photoshoot, am I likely to be bumped to the front or the end?  Apologies if something similar has been asked already btw.

    May be a bug with his photos. Argghh ordered and now no batch numbers on his photos once I got it emailed.

    Just me?

    But my god I am happy you got him and Peter! Peters photies had batch number on by the way on same order ;-)

    I noticed that too and was desperately hoping it wasn't just me coz I got a ticket about 10secs after he was announced. Never been a Batch 0 before - hopefully we're not penalised when the shoot is called :no:

    Opinions on the day Sat

    I did the Saturday - been to London a good few times but this was my first one at NEC - and overall it was a really good day.  Just a couple of things let the show down slightly although with events of this size, there are always things that are going to go wrong.  As mentioned above, the queuing outside to then go inside, back outside and then in again was bizarre especially when not many people had their hand stamped to eventually get in.  Also the inside queuing area meant about one third of the hall was blocked off for the rest of the day which was wasted space, although I get with the NEC 'corridors' and the bus/taxi stops outside needing to be kept clear, there was probably no alternative.

    The only other issue which was causing a problem (that I saw) was the VQ tickets for Danny Glover.  I got in for 9am and there was no VQ needed (apparently), came back about an hour later and one was in operation albeit tickets 1-150 were allowed in the queue, which was just about everyone.  Danny was a lovely guy and chatting to everyone, meaning the queue only ever went up in size, and frankly the guy manning it lost control.  He took tickets off everyone when they joined the queue and when you had to leave an hour later to go to a photoshoot, you had to fight to get them back.  A different crew member then told us to go away and come back in half an hour as we were causing a fire hazard and they needed the queue to go down, only to come back and find the queue was longer still and that second crew member was nowhere to be seen, aka be prepared to wait a long time.  I don't envy the crew at these events and pretty much every one of them is polite and super helpful, plus controlling a mob getting more and more angry is a thankless task.  I just feel that one thing got mis-managed, at the risk of being slightly negative (sorry SM).

    Aside from those issues, no complaints from me.  Got to meet some lovely people - celebrities (one of which is a personal hero), crew members and other con-goers - and plenty of stalls and food availability, plus more room to move about than LFCC since it was quieter and less manic.  So overall, thanks Showmasters for another really good day out :coolthumb:

    I always print mine but I'm happier with it that way.  It really doesn't matter which you do Barca, the scanner just needs to read the bar code and that's it.  there are no issues presenting them on your phone.

    Re the Diamond, I think it's been said that they just collected them from a desk in the entry hall last year so I imagine it's the same this time and it will probably be fairly obvious where it is when you get there as the crew will be asking/directing people towards it.

    Thanks Raylenth, once again you are the font of all SM knowledge :rolleyes:

    Doing this event for the first time and have a Diamond Pass for the first time; I also have an early entry ticket.  Is it advisable to print the entry and Diamond tickets out rather than have the barcodes on my phone, so SM staff don't think am taking the mick, or does the barcode tell them when scanned?  Also, any info on collection of Diamond passes yet?  I know QS didn't know when asked previously in this thread but in the off chance anyone knew now...

    Thanks in advance.
