After trying our best to make this work out so we could attend today and many helpful responses to questions asked we're only just getting to bed now due to some unforeseen health issues and ideally if we were to make it on time we'd have to leave in the next half an hour. I remember seeing a post on facebook of someone that wasn't officially showmasters but was taking autograph orders on behalf of people that couldn't attend - I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction of this person or someone who offers the same service? We were really hoping to meet Brendan Fraser and if someone could help obtain a signed and personalised 8X10 that would be fantastic. As long as the person has a good reputation and is known to be honest then we're happy to send the funds over ASAP, we really don't want to miss out on this as we've already lost our travel tickets and it'd be a shame to miss this opportunity completely. I'll keep my phone by me so as soon as anyone who can help gets in touch we can get the ball rolling! Thank you in advance!

Thanks for sharing your experience from today, some great meets there for sure! We're just really in two minds of when to set off, due to different commitments it's unlikely we'll get much sleep tonight and the thought of driving for several hours in the early hours of the morning isn't much fun. Are there no diamond passes available for Matthew or Robert? Also what are gold passes? and are these sold out?

Okay, so we're considering driving down instead of the train, if we get to london for 9 and try to be at the Olympia for 9:15 - 9:30 do you think that gives us a fair chance to meet the additional guests without diamond passes? I understand what you've said here but I'd just like the input of a few people who have attended Friday and Saturday, what time did you arrive and get your VQ's? Were you able to meet who you wanteD?

Yes, I saw that just trying to think of the easiest time to get there as at this rate we'll have to be up and leaving for 4am or something

Hmmmm I see, do you think arrival for 10 would be much better? Also any experience with Matthew's queue?

Shame! Would've been a good system! Anyway, okay so plan I believe is going to be to purchase Brendan Diamond Pass (as soon as I have clarification that I think he just has the one photoshoot tomorrow afternoon?) and then photos for Tom/Ian tomorrow ( just checked Ian's and batch 7 available so guessing that will be afternoon?) and then we'll try VQ's for Matthew Lillard and Robert Patrick. Seeing the above, do you think arriving for around 11am /12pm should be okay?

Okay I think I've got the hang of it, Brendan is my priority tomorrow so I'd definitely try to avoid any leaving until the last minute - From looking at the timetable if I'm understanding it correctly Brendan only has one session of photos tomorrow anyway? Also I noticed there's an app, does this give updates in anyway to what numbers have been called and when?

Ah! Think you may have just answered my question I just posted seconds after this but if you or someone could just confirm what I've said goes for both photos and autos that would be great

Also just to clarify - If I purchase a diamond pass I can go and join the queue to get my autograph / photo ANYTIME AFTER they've been called? Same question with photo, if my partner just purchases a photo, she can go and get it ANYTIME AFTER it's been called? Just don't want to miss it getting called and miss out or something. I appreciate there's a lot of questions going on here so thanks for chipping in everyone, I have anxiety and so I'm definitely nervous about this on top of the thought of meeting someone you've looked up to for so long!

That's fine, I don't mind the queuing with just a small number of people like 30, it's the thought of an endless queue that was worrying me. Can I just clarify, you say friends etc. aren't allowed in the photo queue at all? But if you're in the autograph queue with a diamond pass they're allowed to be there ONLY if they have a VT (and it's been called? OR can it be a VT that hasn't been called? - myself or my partner would literally just be there to talk to each other and then take photos of the guest signing for eachother)

Really?? so we'd just have to wait in queues by ourselves? Seems a little unfair surely?? Is there someone monitoring who joins the queues that enforces this?

Thanks very much again all, much appreciated! Thinking of buying a Diamond pass for Brendan for tomorrow, these are still available I take it? Then my partner is thinking of photos for Ian/Tom - Can I just check if we do purchase the 3 are they then definitely guaranteed to happen? Just we're coming a long way and obviously don't want to be disappointed. ALSO anyone there could you tell us what the queuing is like for Brendan, Ian and Tom? With a diamond pass is there any queuing involved? or is it just a short queue whenever your numbers called? Oh and saw a short video which had Matthew Lillard and Robert Patrick signing, I take it they're queues are fairly easy and quick to get through? We're thinking of arriving for about 10am just FYI so hopefully that's fine? EDIT : If I purchase a diamond pass do I still need to purchase a separate entry ticket? - nevermind found my answer to this! EDIT AGAIN: If I've got a diamond pass is it okay for my partner to come up to the guests table with me (no autograph purchase from her)? and to also be with me in a photoshoot queue? Surely they can't separate us? Thanks

Thanks very much for your replies so far! Another quick question, I suffer from tinnitus just wanted to know how loud the venue is? Any music from speakers / live music or anything to be concerned about?

So this would be mine and my partner's first time attending LFCC and we've got a few questions that we'd really REALLY appreciate some feedback on to help try and ensure things go as smoothly as possible, so thank you in advance for taking the time to read and give your replies! 1. We're planning on attending Sunday as we saw a post from Showmasters saying this is likely to be the quieter of the 3 days, is this really likely to be true and how much of difference do you think it would make between Saturday and Sunday? 2. Do entrance tickets need to be purchased beforehand or can they be bought on the day? 3. We're hoping to meet the following: Brendan Fraser, Tom Ellis, Ian Somerhalder, Matthew Lillard and Robert Patrick - we read about a VQ system but were a little unsure how this works, can the autographs be bought before attending or is it first come first served to get your VQ ticket and then come back later in the day? Any tips on where to go first, assuming Tom and Ian will be busy, do you think Brendan and co would likely to be also? 4. Is there a chance that we won't meet the people we want to? If so, how can we try our best to guarantee we do meet them? 5. We're not local to London so what do you think is a reasonable time to arrive at the venue? 6. How long will the stars be there? Do they finish at a certain time or are they there until close (and if so, what time is that?) 7. Will there be any physical queuing? Only concern here being that with the weather being so hot these past few days that queues might become unbearable - also from a previous year that Stan Lee attended I recall seeing a video with a large queue stretching all the way far outside the building, is this a regular thing / likely to happen this weekend? 8. What's the likelihood of selfies at the autograph table? Are most people willing to oblige? I imagine it varies but from your experience what are people usually like? Thank you again!

Thanks for all the quick replies. Fair points, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed then. Just thought I'd mention it as I was concerned that I hadn't seen anyone else bring it up and he was announced over a week ago now.

So I might not be able to make it to the event this year but was planning on pre-ordering Brendan's autograph as I have done with showmasters in the past. However upon going on to the pre-orxer page it as seems as though everyone but Brendan is accounted for. Is there a reason for this or is this simply an oversight?
