apjones1987 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We are 165 and 166 Is that good? How far from the front would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We are 165 and 166 Is that good? How far from the front would that be? Standard, Silver or Gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We are 165 and 166 Is that good? How far from the front would that be? Difficult to say. I am not sure how many tickets are available for sale for each group. As a rough guide and using Chevron 7.6 as a basis it is 150 Golds (100% sure this the same for ET5), 450 Silver and 400 Standard. So potentially you have up to 150 Golds in front of you (depending on how many are sold). Plus another 164 if you are silver, or another 614 if you are standard. It also depends on the layout of the hall. If I recall the Hilton room is wider than the rooms used at the other venues so you are slightly further forward anyway. By how much depends on how many seats per row - something I have no idea of. You will be able to see the guests though. Also they usually have very large screens up, as the talks are filmed. Sorry, that's not really much help is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee75 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 At ET4 we were standard 420 & 421 (something like that!!!) and we could see fine. Pictures of the talks were a bit rubbish because we were quite far back - but my camera's not great anyway!! You will definitely be able to see ok :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm usually at the back and able to see fine. I take most of my photos of the screens so I get the close ups TT ensures that the hall is laid up so that everybody is able to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray_x Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I just usually swipe other people's photos for the talks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Andrew Jones's pics on the showmasters facebook page are the best Unless you are at Chevron, then Queen Sindel's ones are awesome!

Sorry, that's not really much help is it! I'm a newbie to all this so actually that is quite a lot of help. I forgot to say that it was a standard ticket, but I don't really mind. We are both really excited so where ever we are I'm sure it will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 28, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 28, 2011 The thing for newbies (everyone really) to remember is that if there's anything you're not sure of just ask. Our crew are great and will answer pretty much any question. If they can't you may get pointed to the reg desk or me! But the main thing is, do ask, please don't worry about something, or get embarressed because you think it's obvious or silly. Yes we may have heard your question 10 times before but we all remember our first event and how things that make prefect sense now were a mystery to us back then. So please do ask if you're unsure of anything. PS: But do check your con booklet because it's very possible the question you have has already been answered in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-fi Jules Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hmm, better ask this question...my passport is 3 years out of date (knew I wouldn't be getting on a plane any time soon)...will I still be able to use it to buy drinks with? It's the only photo ID I have (I look 13 in the pic tho ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 it is a legal document, if its all you have, bring it along. Perhaps TT will be along to confirm this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 well thats what I thought as it is an official document etc (Matthews old passport photo was awesome! he was five and pulling a completely suprised face) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only photo ID I have (I look 13 in the pic tho ). it is a legal document, if its all you have, bring it along. Perhaps TT will be along to confirm this I think in strictest terms it actually ceases to be a legal document once it passes its expiry date. Of course, since the use of passports as a ticket-issue control mechanism is solely an ME procedure, they are perfectly at liberty to accept outdated passports if they wish. Whether such a passport is sufficient to act as proof of age for alcoholic bar purchases will be down to the hotel. (Certainly in broader use - such as for client verification for opening bank accounts and other transactions with financial institutions, the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group Guidance for Prevention of money laundering/ combating terrorist financing specifically require the use of in-date passports and in-date driving licence photocards. But that is a somewhat different matter). Actually that reminds me, my driving licence photocard expires soon - must renew it, since I don't fancy a whacking great fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 okay, it WAS a legal document when it was in date, but the passport coupled with credit cards etc might be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-fi Jules Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 okay, it WAS a legal document when it was in date, but the passport coupled with credit cards etc might be okay Well if I'm denied alchohol I can deal, I can still have a good time without it, lol Just as long as I get into the actual event using it (to get registration pack), that's the main thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 the way i figure it, that passport would still show your date of birth and unless you have had plastic surgery or whatever, we should be able to identify you from the pic (hopefully) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queen-of-hearts Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've been to 2 ET and have never once been asked for I'd in the party hall bar!! And my 16 year old friend was buying alcohol there too! Obviously I have always taken I'd with me but its never been used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) ID requests at the bar would be the responsibility of the venue rather than ME, its still not legal as it is a public bar. The room might be hired by ME, but it doesnt mean it is similar to a private party at home where the adults are responsible for the children. It is the responsibility of the attendee or whoever agreed to be their guardian, they know whether they are legally allowed to buy alcohol or not, so mustnt be offended if the hotel asks for ID and consequently refuses to sell it. It does cause problems having drunk minors at the party (Had to double check my spelling then lol Lots of images floated through my head of miners with pick axes and headlamps on the dancefloor) Edited January 29, 2011 by Rhianydd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
