  1. From my experiences, I had to show a proof of ID when collecting Diamond Passes on the day before the event, but didn’t have to during the days of the event (although that was in 2018, so things may have changed since).
  2. Fortunately I managed to get my autograph and photoshoot for Ncuti Gatwa on the Saturday. I was disappointed I couldn’t get a personalisation but I understand that SM needed to get as many fans in as possible due to circumstances beyond their control, but Ncuti did acknowledge and briefly speak to every fan he met. He was surprised and impressed when I told him I have met every main Doctor from Tom Baker onwards, Spent the afternoon meeting up with fellow cosplayers, including some who missed out on meeting Ncuti. I know things got hectic and rushed for Ncuti Gatwa, but the crew did their best, and offered compromises and compensation for those who missed out. Despite this, I do want to thank Showmasters. The only Doctor I have left to meet now is Jo Martin.
  3. Did see that on the tickets page too. I assume NT means No Talk as I noticed his Talk and Talk DP tickets are marked as sold out. But not seen this elsewhere.
  4. For me, Jo Martin and/or David Tennant (although I plan to attend Glasgow Comic Con next month).
  5. Aye. Have bought my entry ticket and a Diamond Pass for Ncuti Gatwa.
  6. Entry to the event is free. As for photoshoot tickets, there will most likely be a desk where you can buy them. As for online, I’m not sure if they’ll be available to buy on the dsy itself (I normally purchase mine in advance). For VQ tickets, they’ll most likely still be available in the afternoon but, depending on the guest, you may get a high number with zero to little chance of getting their autographs.
  7. Yep, entry is completely free of charge. The only tickets one may need to pay for are: Photoshoot Diamond Pass Gold Pass (acts like a priority Virtual Queue ticket for non-Diamond guests, and allows you to acquire £50 worth of autographs).
  8. Must be something new (or overlooked or forgotten by myself) as I’ve not purchased a Diamond Pass since 2018.
  9. If memory serves correctly, you don’t need batch numbers for Diamond Passes. Diamond Pass holders will get priority over Gold Pass and standard photoshoot ticket holders.
  10. Have checked the post on the recent Winter LFCC thread, and it says “both in costume”. Hopefully we can get confirmation or more clarity nearer the time.
  11. I’m wondering the same myself. Ticket page is saying ‘Aldred & McCoy in costume’ Would be great if she will be in costume as well, since I’ve already had a photoshoot with Sylvester McCoy in costume at this year’s LFCC.
  12. So it begins. Already got time off work and a hotel booked. But at the mo, it’s down to other commitments not clashing, as well as my finances and the guest list
  13. Jodie Whittaker David Tennant Ncuti Gatwa Jo Martin
  14. See if I can liven it up with my usual summing up and pics. This was my first LFCC and SM event since 2019, and for me, it was stress-free, but tiring. Only had 1 autograph and 2 photoshoots. But it was good to meet some fellow cosplayers for the first time in years, especially in light of a personal circumstance a couple of years back. Main highlight was having a photoshoot with Sylvester McCoy in costume, while cosplaying as his Doctor. Good points: Crew member complementing me on paying in £5 notes for an autograph Guest area less of a mosh pit Got to see (not meet) almost every guest, even if a few were just brief glimpses Almost every trader accepting cash Trader tables in a straight, rather than staggered, alignment The lady selling the tribbles putting up with my Klingon (some of the tribbles didn't even get frightened) Being able to visit the Lego displays in the afternoon Negative points: Morning queue for Robert Emms was limited for health and safety reasons - could have either done with Mr Emms being in the guest area rather than the Star Wars Zone, or VQ tickets At least one trader only accepting card No slush drink stall like the one held in 2018 & 2019 Some others, but these are on Olympia's end rather than Showmasters
  15. Only seen one stall with a Card Only sign, and at least two others with a Cash Only sign. Did ask some traders selling wood-based merchandise if they’d accept sheep, but they said No.
  16. I’m here all 3 days. Friday was quiet. I only got one autograph, and a friend got Temuera Morrison’s autograph by lunchtime that he decided to go to a cinema in the afternoon. Yesterday was busy and my friend decided to settle for half the autographs he planned to get before taking the coach back home, while I had some company with some fellow cosplayers before having a photoshoot with Matt Smith. Today, I’ve only been to Sylvester McCoy’s talk, and waiting for his costume photoshoot.
  17. There was no batch number showing on my ticket and these tickets were declared Batch 0. Link to comment This was five years ago so it may or may not be the case on this occasion.
  18. My cosplays: Friday - Dark Blur Clark Kent from Smallville Saturday - 9th Doctor Sunday - 7th Doctor
  19. This happened to me with a standard photoshoot for a last minute guest in 2018. It ended up being Batch Number Zero. Whether this will be the case or not this year is down to Showmasters.
  20. Got photoshoot tickets for Matt Smith with the Tardis on the Saturday, and Sylvester McCoy in costume on the Sunday.
  21. And near a tube station or bus stop on a route that can get you to Olympia, or a nearby station that’s a short walk away.
