Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted July 1, 2012 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am having yet another panic about something. Just seen photos of twitter for the queues to pay to get in (standard entry). Should I expect long queues if I come to upgrade to Early Bird tickets. I am not so much worried about not getting in quick enough to VT tickets, as I have sorted that, but more how my autistic son will cope? I don't want to be stuck in a long queue but don't want to come too early that we are waiting around before it opens. Email me again. I'm away at the moment and so may not get back to you until Wednesday but don't worry I can help again. Already sent it last night! No worries, if reply is not immediate. Just need to know before I leave on Saturday! LOL! It'll be 100% fine, don't worry. I am a mum of a disabled child, it is in my nature to worry! LOL! I know, and I'll always do whatever I can to relieve that as much as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siluria Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think it's been asked, but I can't see a reply (so sorry if I missed it!), but are there any rules about taking props into the photoshoots, such as replica weapons? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It depends on the prop. Anything that could actually be dangerous will have to be checked with crew beforehand, as with getting them signed. Most props are fine.

I'm still deciding on what to bring. I have one prop that's made of foam, even though it looks like a real (by real I mean fantasy) gun, and one metal, but it has no sharp or dangerous edges. I didn't want to bring one/both of them if they weren't allowed in shoots, so thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're planning on carrying them around openly (not in a case/bag) during the event you should refer to the weaponry rules given in the cosplay thread.

Debs88 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Reading through about the VTs I'm still a bit unsure about something. If I wanted to get an autograph from someone, could my friend come up with me if they're not getting an autograph, without paying? Reading through it states someone can come up with you even if they're not getting an autograph as long as they have a VT, but then a little lower down it states that they would still have to pay for an autograph? A bit confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit confused! As long as they have a ticket it's okay. Just please don't take 10 friends with you to take photos when you're the only one getting an autograph. I hope that makes a little more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they'll be packaged/bagged up. I haven't quite found the courage to cosplay yet Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanWilkinson92 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 So what's the deal with the secret TV panel and the Dredd guests? Will we know who they are before the show, or is it a case of finding out on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berber Anna Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This is probably going to be a stupid question, but I'm wondering about the location of the ticket desks. As I understood it, there will be a sales desk for the photoshoots and paid talks near the entrance, then a desk for tickets to the free talks somewhere near one of the stages (will this be indicated on the map?) and somewhere (a desk?) to get your VQ tickets near the signing area. Is this correct? Also, with the VQ tickets, are they handed out at one central desk or is there a separate ticket queue for each guest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VQ tickets are handed out at the end of each guest's queue, there is not a central desk for these. (The person handing out the tickets will also be the person you give your ticket back to to get into the physical queue.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibble Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Stupid question time now! I remember going to the first EMS at Olympia and I recall climbing a lot of stairs to get to the show. Unfortunately, I have just pulled a ligament in my knee and stairs are a bit tricky for me. Is this event on the ground floor, or is it up on the first floor again? Thank you!

I think it may all be on one level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a map in the program booklet you get when you enter the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_09 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 When paying for the autographs, do you take Ulster Bank/Bank of Ireland notes? I'm assuming I'll have enough Bank of England notes, but just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
