  1. My only event of the year but worth the wait. 

    I had a relatively quiet but fun weekend. All the guests I met were very friendly and seemed to enjoy being there and meeting their fans.

    Some great cosplayers again. Far too many to mention but it's always a joy to see you. 

    The crew were great. All the ones I met were very helpful. Some of the more popular photo shoots and auto queues got a bit chaotic but that was down to too many people descending on an area before they needed to. Happens every time and the crew always do their best. 

    Biggest shout outs go to (and I'm sorry to say I didn't get their names) the guy at the Olivia Cooke auto queue who let me join slightly early (up to vq 90 and I had 94 so sue me. Pays to be friendly and polite to get a good pay back). And an extra special mention to the photographer at the green screen where patient and perseverance got those who chose to regenerate the photo they wanted even though the photographer lost the will to live!

    I would also like to thank ShowMasters for remembering this weekend was about more than comic con. There was a poignant pause at 11.00 for both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. 

    Looking forward to joining you all for one (or maybe more) events next year.

    i hope a few big guests are announced soon, as current line up is really not doing it for me.  First time in years I have not been hyped to go to LFCC.   I am not dissing the guests as I am sure many are really happy with the guests announced... this is just my own thought.    I can't currently justify flights and hotel costs for 3 days as coming from Scotland for the 1 or two guests i would currently get.   Normally i am wondering if i can fit in everything and everyone i want to see over the 3 days.

    I know what you mean. Although there is a range of guests this is looking like the second event this year where I am not really tempted - although there are a few on the 'would be nice if I was there' list.

    I am ever hopeful that the winter event will, for me, be more appealing  - especially as it's close to the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who. 

    In case anyone is in any doubt who I would like to see announced I'll just leave this here.....

    Was a bit of a chill day for me too. I also spotted Peter Capaldi Fan and we chatted. Was nice to see you again Peter Capaldi Fan. I was pretty much done by about half two and I went home with some money left (which doesn't usually happen.) 

    It was nice to catch up for a chat. Until the next time :smile:

  4. Totally agree this was a vast improvement on the summer event - it probably helps that it's smaller. 

    The guests I met were all lovely and really seemed to be enjoying the experience. And it worked far better to have the popular guests in the booths from a queue management point of view. 

    The crew were all super friendly and all my photo shoots went very smoothly. At least you could hear the batch number announcements :lol:. You will never be able to stop people congregating in the area.

    I had a really fantastic weekend. Thanks to ShowMasters I have now met all the Doctors from Tom Baker to Jodie Whittaker.

    Now if there could just be an announcement for Ncuti Gatwa.....:whistling:

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but what's the process for collecting the Diamond Pass, as I've read the email but I'm still unsure. Do I have to go to the National Hall entrance to pick it up before I queue for entrance to the event on Sunday? Or do I queue to get in, and then go and get the Diamond Pass?

    There is no right or wrong answer. It depends on your individual schedule what works best for you. If you are trying for low VQ tickets I would suggest going in first then get your DP passes. If not then get your DP first. Personally I pick up the DPs first. :smile:

    I've had the barcode sent through for one of my diamond passes, but doesnt say which one it is for. Maybe it covers both of them. But before that I got an eventbrite ticket reminder email for my Matt Smith, but not my David Tennant one. 

    It would be less confusing if they'd put which one it was for, or used tickets in the email rather that ticket.

    Did you not get a barcode for each DP in the same email? Agreed it doesn't specify which is which but I definitely have 3 different barcodes for my 3 DPs. I had to scroll through the email to find them.

    I’m not a regular goer but  I thought a DP meant you get to meet the guest and get a photo and signature pretty much guaranteed?,  as opposed to getting a lot of stuff signed and slowing down anyone else who wants to meet them?

    genuine question.

    Whilst I certainly agree with the principle that with a rare and/or popular guest it's nice to be able to have as many people as possible get to meet them. 

    My only bugbear is the T&C's for some DPs were changed AFTER purchase without any notification. Personally for me if the limit is now just the included auto I will consider it money saved as I can't be asked to queue again and will be happy with what I have.
