I got up at 05:00 to travel from Milton Keynes. I hooked up with my brother and we got to Earls Court around 07:30. We joined the early bird queue for paying on the day and were quite near the front. At 10:00 we rushed through and managed to get tickets 138 and 139. As expected the signing was brief but a short conversation was possible and he was very polite. I was happy that we managed to see him and that he was value for money given his status. I consider myself lucky that we were able to get there at a fairly early time, having not prepaid, and still managed to get a low number. Generally I thought the queue in front of Patrick was a bit of a shambles (in fact this was the case for the Heroes guests too) but other than that I was happy with my experience.
