Tina197 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm not too worried about food and drink,I probably won't eat much that weekend, adrenaline will be enough, lol, but will probably take an hour out to go and get something for McD's or somewhere.

zebredy Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) A bag to put stuff in (so my hands are free) - Oyster card - Entry tickets - Money to spend - Folders to put autos in so they don't get damaged in my bag - My phone, fully charged.. - Camera (make sure camera battery is fully charged before leaving home or that you have packed spare batteries just in case) - Water - can never have to much - Food - even if you don't eat that sandwich you made, it might save you £4 for the event that you might have spent somewhere like Macy Ds - Headache pills too.. - I like to bring a list of all the guests I want to see with me, in order of who I think might be most popular, then I try and go for there VQ tickets in that order (unless I pass where one of the guest I want to see is signing then I just pick up there VQT on the way) - Somewhere safe to put your VQ tickets, (mine nearly came out my pocket once) - Not a must have, but sometimes I pack a small jumper or long sleeve top in my bag (cause its sometimes colder outside after the event) - Oh and a list of all the things I DON'T need to buy (like I have 6 seasons of Deep Space Nine on DVD and other series so wrote them down, so I know what I am missing and what to look out for at the dealers tables) - Lastly spare £5-£10 just in case of an emergency. If you are not going in costume, wear something comfortable, as you most likely WILL be doing a lot of walking around. Not something I bring with me (obviously) but something I like to know. - Location of nearest toilets - hate needing to go and not knowing where one is - Somewhere to sit down if needed - it can get tiring walking round all day none stop - If you are going in a group can sometimes be handy to have a place to meet in case you all get separated, maybe the main organisers booth (although that area can sometimes get a little crowded) Sorry if I went a little overboard, thats most of what I bring that I can remember off the top of my head and things I like to know when there..
