chris_mk Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 So how does the parking work then?? I was looking on the MK website and it says on there that most pay & display car parks only allow 5 hours max!! I'm driving down from Derby so it's not as tho I can just go away and come back and was planning on staying the whole day...... Best place to park is the theatreland multistorey. You go up to the roundabout by John lewis, swing a right and follow the road down. I forget what the street's called. If I get to MK this next week, I'll let you know. I live about 20 mins down the A5, so MK is my preferred shopping centre! Just take care parking in there is you drive anything bigger than a Micra!!! The car park is notoriously tight (I heard that when the Mayor opened it, his official car clipped one of the corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car park is notoriously tight (I heard that when the Mayor opened it, his official car clipped one of the corners! You could park near/behind some of the houses that are oposite some of the shops as there is green zones there so you can park there all day for free. My friends always used to use the park and ride, even though my fiance and I said they didn't need too, but thankfully the park and ride wasn't working last time either. Ever since then they never use the park and ride, as its a lot easier with there stuff just to dump it in the car that takes like 5mins to walk too, then lugging it on and off the bus and then too the car. Plus as I said before green zones are free where as the park and ride never has been, though it is really cheap. LLAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Beech Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 so i know for the sunday there will be a queue before the show starts to get virtual tickets? if yes where will it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted April 23, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm not sure they're usually able to provide that information before the event itself, as they do tend to move guests around etc even on the mornings of the events. If there's a big guest, they've put signs on the doors before so you know which one to be at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Beech Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 ok thanks because ill be getting there for about 9am an hour before the show :) coz i want to meet several of the big guests and its the earliest i can set off from wolverhampton is about 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I received my photo session ticket in the post (great work, Jola!) this morning. The accompanying letter seems to imply a ticket number, but I can't see one (unless it's the number on the back with the name of the picture file .jpg used on the ticket). Is it a case of "Form an orderly queue" for these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a case of "Form an orderly queue" for these things? It is really just make a very orderly queue LOL, however, the tickets do have a coloured stripe on the outside edge (blue, red, yellow or green). For the more popular guests - ie James Marsters & John Barrowman, you will probably be asked to queue under your colour as well, if that makes sense, so we can avoid overcrowding in the area.

Bev Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks, Jola! I've never been to Collectormania, but the ticket has arrived and I'm now very very excited (don't tell my husband ). Well done on getting JB, by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixster Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi, this may be a silly question, but thought I'd ask. Say me and a friend were going on Sunday and there were 2 huge Qs for people both me and my mate wanted to see, would it be ok for each one of us to go to the end of either Q and pick up 2 tickets so she and had one each?

From FAQ section - 2.3 - Queuing inside and out: Can I get a Virtual Ticket for a friend? No, Virtual Tickets are given out ONE PER PERSON, you will only be given one ticket. If you want to get a ticket for a friend there is nothing stopping you from joining the queue again and getting another ticket. Just remember it will only be one ticket for each time you queue up.

Bev Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've asked this question on the JB thread, but maybe this is a better place: I notice that JB is doing his photo session at 11.00 Is it likely that he'll be signing beforehand, or only afterwards? It's my first Collectormania, and I've no idea how to juggle the photo session with VTs for autographs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted April 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2008 While the show opens at 10am on Sunday, at a rough estimate the guests can take up to an hour after that to turn up and start signing. But the queue tickets will be handed out from when the show is open, so you can get those before your photo definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnrae89 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Okay so I was reading this thread about the auto prices and none of it made sense to me. So can you give me an idea of how much JB's will be? £20 or £25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
