There is no seating in the photo booth, I assume what Steve is talking about is the central u shaped desk set up for bags and the printer, so an adult definitely can't sit on it. If you want your son to have the photo instead of you, technically he can't as it's a DP and they can't be transferred, but honestly, I don't see them refusing in cases like this, it's obvious your child won't be buying their own ticket. When you get into the booth, speak to the crew and say the shoot is for your boy, they should be OK with that - just saying to advise them as he won't be as quick as an adult going through and will need a bit more time

You can arrive later if you prefer, if they have called your batch already you can just join the back of the queue. If they have reached VQ's, identify yourself to the crew and they usually try and slot you as far forward as possible, though you may need to join the end of the queue as DP's only have priority whilst they are calling DP's. They have changed the DP auto allotment now though so whilst you still get the one included, you can no longer get extra's at the same time, if you want more than one, you need to get a VQ and wait until that VQ is called. So if you only want the one included auto for each guest, then you can turn up a bit later, though make sure you factor in when they are in photo's/talks and don't leave it too late, but if you want extra auto's you need to be there to get a VQ.

You would have likely only been able to get 3 as it's been 3 max for a couple of shows at least now. but I agree.

They won't separate a parent and young child so he can stay in the queue with you but he won't be allowed in the photo which might make it tricky. You will have to ask him to wait a second for you to the side when you get to the front of the queue and collect him on the way out I think.

When you go into the shop at the very top there's a tiny blue URL that says something like 'enter promo code', if you click on that before you select the ticket you want, put the code in and check out and it'll take it off your voucher balance. It may be that you can only buy one ticket at a time if you want to buy multiple ones on your vouchers.

and also other reasons......like 'oh I need to go Saturday/sunday as well now'

It's not unheard of for guests schedules to change and to become available for other days, but usually if they are only announced for one, it's because that's all they can do.

Check the shop maybe to see what days there are tickets on sale for.

No, Diamonds can't be customised. If you want a different shoot, you have to buy it on top of the DP.

I did have that on order but cancelled after I managed to get him at Downton. Yours is a nice auto!

It is a smaller event, it's hard to quantify the size exactly, but last time I think they only had one or two halls rather than the whole ground and upper floors. Re David, he's done a few events now, but he is always hugely popular. Add in people coming for the 3 of them, I think he will be busy. If you want to try for him on a VQ, I'd advise getting there as ealy as possible and trying to get as low a number as you can.

They used to announce dates of the next event at the current one on promotional leaflet, show guides. Other than that just keep an eye out for announcements.

They don't call out as such, given all the guests sitting together and people there, it'd get lost in the crowd, but there will be a small white board at the head of the queue. You will need to keep popping back and looking at the board to see where they have called to, then join the queue any time after your number is up.

Bus? TFL says you have to change a few times and it takes about 1 hour 20 but it won't be expensive. If you go on the TFL site, put in Earls Court or Olympia to Heathrow, then when the options come up edit your journey to only show busses, it'll show you the ones you need to get and the route. Alternatively call National Express and see if they have any pick up points around Olympia that go to Heathrow.

It's just a feeling about Hugh so not based on anything specific, I know he does a lot of TV stuff, but I don't see his name a lot outside of that, attending events ect, but then again I'm not particularly looking so I may be very wrong. I didn't know he had done a signing event before, that's good to know. Of course, it might have turned him off it completely, some guests do one or two I guess and decide it's not for them, but at least it means he was willing in the past so maybe there's hope.

It was through work, I used to see his nephew fairly frequently. And agreed, I love Hugh and would love to meet him. Both of them. But yeah, I think they are both very private, Hugh especially so I don't see it happening unfortunately. I kind of hope though that as one result of covid is the explosion of private signings and more people who wouldn't ever do an event being willing to do those instead, that might be a possibility. Ultimately you never know, guests who have never done one before have been booked after years of trying, so it is all possible, just very, very unlikely with some names.

I think Richard and Stephen would be too big for these events. Richard has done events so he's a possibility for one of the LFCC or Collectormania shows, but I don't think Stephen has ever done one and I don't think he ever will unless circumstances dictate that he needs to. I jokingly asked one of his nephews once if his uncle would ever do a signing event and he laughed and said no. Things do change though so you never know, but if they did ever manage it, I think he'd be an LFCC guest.

As the others have said you will want to consider his Diamond if you want to make absolutely certain you will get it. He's done a few events now but is always very popular so it's impossible to say if you will get him on a VQ. Even with a low VQ we can only say 'you might be lucky'

Or just buy a bigger house.

I haven't seen it yet, I will if it's on streaming somewhere but I won't rush. I'm not sure how many people will want him for Morbius, but I assume there will be some.

It's always so hard to judge, his last LFCC was his first appearance IIRC so demand was through the roof, but he has done other events since them, so he shouldn't be quite as busy. But he will still likely be busy all day, especially as you have the HOD/Marvel collectors who may want him now.

I think they usually get updated around the time of the event

The other alternative is to use the pre order service and get them to get it for you. It means you don't get to meet him for an auto, but you can have a photo with him and that sorts that out https://www.showmasterssales.com/collections/film-comic-con-birmingham-pre-orders/products/vinnie-jones-pre-order-nec2022-1

And it should be noted that if it is a Diamond guest you are interested in, there's no guarantee they will get to VQ holders depending on how many DP's have been sold, their signing speed and how much other stuff they are tied up with. Most DP guests will see VQ holders though.

I don't think there's an official change or anything, some they do refund cash though. It might be a simple case that it's the smaller guests who it doesn't cost them much to refund that they do cash refunds for, but I'm guessing.
