lollewis247 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 So honestly, now we know the map of the hall, who is planning to dash to Karen or the two Christophers' tables for a VQ ticket? I really hope there isn't a 'mad rush'. I will go to Karen and Christopher L's tables first but is would be annoying if loads of people run past me, rather than just make their way their calmy like me.

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted July 7, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone running will feel my wrath I have stopped people for a LONG LONG chat about why they shouldn't do it, meaning people behind them have got better tickets than them. And on more than one occasion I've even walked them back to the front door, so do be warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltax Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone running will feel my wrath I have stopped people and even walked them back to the front door for running, so do be warned. how about power walking? though tbh my running is probably as fast as someone's walking so no point in trying to out speed anyone.

If so I think I know which member of staff you are And i don't understand the mad rushes, everybody gets their turn, so why rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go to Karen and Christopher L's tables first but is would be annoying if loads of people run past me, rather than just make their way their calmy like me. Oh I think I will walk it to Karen's desk and might have a bit of a lay down on the way for a sleep. Considering I am getting in to earl court early because I am crewing over the weekend. Dam, looks like I will not be in the front of the Karen queue. Unless of course I am picked for VQ ticket issuer then I will be. . Nope I have more chance of winning the Euro Millions lottery on Friday evening. I wonder if Too Tall have thought about having sleeping crew (instead of a sleeping policeman) to slow people down instead of the running. Maybe we should change it, so that the first people there get the ticket number 600, and the slower people getting lower numbers. That way people will not run, but have a rule that you are not allowed to stay in the same spot for more then 10 seconds and you cannot move backgrounds or sideways. You only can move forward. cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrookes Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm getting there about 7am. I won't be running when it opens. If there are 100 people in front of me that wants a VT from Karen then I will happily be ticket number 101, I wouldn't want to try and ruin it for others that got there earlier than me and I hope no one does that to me!

I'm the same, don't really care what number ticket I get as long as I get one. Though I admit last year I was so excited I had to stop myself from running when I got in.

steve67 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 If Karen's first tickets were allocated by a lucky dip (say from batches of 20 or so) rather than sequentially then there would be no incentive to run at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
