Thank you! I thought as much, but I just got a bit confused when the site said you need them printed out.

I have the eventbrite app on my phone out of easy-ness, but the website says: Weekend Standard Entry - (11am) Saturday 3rd & (10am) Sunday 4th June 2017 more info Standard Admission from 11am on Saturday 3rd June and 10am on Sunday 4th June 2017, for all ages. (under 4's free) Entry to show with E-ticket. Ticket must be printed prior to arrival at the show. Should I print my tickets out just to be on the safe side? Also, is it possible to upgrade to early bird tickets?

So, if I have a standard weekend entry pass, I can just join the early bird queue and pass the different to upgrade?

Really? I've never experienced that before, normally at cons I go to it's like, for example, £25 and you can have up to 3 items signed.

Is it possible to upgrade your entry ticket? I have a general entry weekend ticket, but Carlos's photos are before I even get in, so we're looking to go earlier? (I know I can go in the afternoon to the photos, but I'm being vain and thinking about my make-up haha!)

I'm probably gonna bring something to get signed, but is there like a limit of things to be signed? Like, could I get a signed photo and a DVD cover or something like? Or would it be one or the other? Glasgow FCC has a limit of 3 items, I think?

Thank you! I just worry about annoying you all, haha! I think it's because I'm actually travelling for this con, so I'm like MUST KNOW EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE haha

Thank you, Raylenth! You must be so sick of my questions by now /o\ I'll be going both days, and I have photo ops for my 'main guest', but I love getting cheeky wee selfies, so I'll see how things pan out :)

Yass!

Sorry, I bet you're all sick of seeing me ask questions /o\ I was talking to an American friend and she was telling me that she doesn't always get photo ops if there's a selfie option, where basically you take a selfie but pay for it. I've never seen that here (I've got selfies at signing desks but never had to pay). Will guests have this option, too? Or will it be a sort of, ask while you're there?

Awesome :) Thank you!

I'm curious about the talk schedule for the weekend. I assume it'll be announced closer to or on the day, but since this is a bigger convention than the Glasgow one (which I'm used to) I was wondering if I need to get tickets for the (unpaid) talks. There's only one or two I actually plan on going to, but in Glasgow the talk stage is rather small and it's normally first come first served (and even at that, it doesn't always fill out). In fact, in Glasgow I would say there's normally less than 100 people at a talk, but obviously Birmingham has larger guests attending. So, any help would be appreciated

Thank you :) I'm asking this, but then I bet I'll be so tired after the first day I'll get back to the hotel and pass out XD

(Sorry, another question from me!) I normally attend the Glasgow event, and I know that there is normally some form of after party and I was curious is there is any official/unofficial after parties happening? This is my first time coming down for the Birmingham event, so I'm super excited/nervous and I wanna make sure I make the most of my time, even when the doors close on Saturday

Thank you! To be honest there's only one guest I'm after, so I'll just make sure I make a bee-line for it as soon as we're in. Thanks!

So, is this something I do on the day? Or can you do it beforehand?

A VQ ticket? No, what are they? How do they work?

Hi all, this is my first time attending in Birmingham (I normally stick to local conventions in Glasgow). I know how photo ops work and whatnot, but I'm curious about autographs: do we buy tickets for them online, or do we pay on the day? I know at the Glasgow Collectormania (FCC) you just pay at the desk, but I wasn't sure if it would be the same in Birmingham?

Oh gods, sorry! My bad!

Will you be on public transport or is there a driver amongst you? Personally whenever I'm stopping away from home I use a combination of Late Rooms, Booking.com and TripAdvisor. We'll be using public transport. I wanna try and get somewhere close to the venue so we don't need to worry about taxis and whatnot too much. I'm thinking I'll probably use laterooms :)

Hi! So, my friend and I will be attending and I was wondering if anyone had any hotel recs? Preferably close to the venue and affordable

I'm kinda gutted because I really wanna see Sean, but I'm only going the Saturday I normally moan and groan about paid talks because Glasgow is known for them being free and easy to access, but I can kinda understand since these are pretty big guests.

I've been going pretty much every year for around ten years, and whilst it has got busier, when it comes to autographs I've never found the wait very long. I don't think it should be hard at all. Just make sure you plan your bus/taxi so you don't miss your train home!

EDIT: Just saw someone commented they're normally about £5. Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I can't find anything - how much will the cosplay photos be? Anyone know?
