bex4cedric Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hey Guys What happens if you have standard entry and your photo shoot is before 11am? I cannot get there earlier than 11 and therefore could not change to early bird if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Photo shoots normally start from 9.30-10.00am. If you miss one then you can enquire on the day as sometimes it is possible for pick-up's to take place later in the day. Not always though.

Thank you, if I buy a Saturday ticket and cannot attend the shoot on the day could I swap it for a Sunday ticket if I can attend that one? We are unsure if we can attend on Sunday hence why I want to purchase for the Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmorris2504 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was also wondering this it's impossible for me to get to Earls court for early entry and I' can only go Saturday I've got shoots with Dave Prowse Jeremy Bulloch And Peter Mayhew And my cousin has Jeremy Bulloch too we can only get there for standard entry, I'm hoping that these shoots won't happen until later on and if they do happen before standard entry what can I do about it? Is there a session later in the day for those who bought tickets but couldn't get there early enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on times, guests availability, photo shoot availability etc. If your photo shoots are before 11 and you can arrive for early entry then it is possible to upgrade to that ticket by joining the pay on the day queue, hand over your existing ticket and pay the price difference.

Gmorris2504 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I don't think it's possible as I have to get the train from Worthing which is an hours train journey to earls court roughly. It would mean getting my cousin over here from hove at about 7:45 not great for a 14 year old who likes his sleep haha. So I don't know I'm just hoping the schedule works out in my favour 😶 Edited June 22, 2013 by Gmorris2504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_moonshine_x Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm sure if your cousin's excited enough about the con, he'd happily forgo his sleep! The past two years I got up at 4:45am to get here for early entry on Saturday from up in Staffordshire, and it was well and truly worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but I don't think I can get up to London that early in the morning. I presume that if you miss the shoot because of timing and there isn't a "re do" you'll get a refund?

It is up to you to make sure you're there in time but someone else can answer that better. Wait for the schedule, you may be fine, but there does seem to be plenty of early morning trains from Worthing that would get you to West Brompton (via Clapham Junction) in plenty of time for early entry. Would mean getting one somewhere between 6:30 or 7am depending how early you want to be but given the potential hassle that it would save, is it not worth it?

I am sure Showmasters have a back-up plan for this as any photoshoots scheduled prior to the Standard entry ticket holders enter isn't the fault of those individuals. They have bought their tickets in advance in good faith. Maybe someone could post some clarification for such individuals when the timetable is announced? In particular as previously posted "pick-ups" aren't always possible or feasible. Edited June 23, 2013 by clloby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmorris2504 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It's acctualy physically impossible for me to get up there for early entry. I hope show masters have a system that allows standard entry ticket holders to get their paid for photoshoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope show masters have a system that allows standard entry ticket holders to get their paid for photoshoots I don't mean to be rude or cause offence and I don't know your personal situation but no, it's not physically impossible on the face of it. You've stated earlier you're coming from Worthing. There's plenty of early morning trains which will get you to Earls Court in loads of time for early entry. According to thetrainline.com there's one at 7:07 that Saturday which gets in to Clapham Junction at 8:20. You then get the 8:31 from there which gets to West Brompton at 8:38. Then it's about 2mins walk across the road to EC2. Sure there will be a queue by then but that's one option. There's earlier and later trains too. Obviously if there's some reason you can't make a train that early in the morning then fair enough but it doesn't seem to be a problem in terms of getting there in time for early entry. But it may not be an issue. You may find once the schedule is released that all yours are in the afternoon anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence caused and I do know that there are early trains but for several reasons that Im not going to go into I can't get to lfcc that early and I know what station to get off at, I went to earls court for the 2012 Olympics. I do hope that mine are in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For things like reshoots or refunds (which is something that can only be decided on the day by the pit bit boss of the sales desk) SM will try and help if possible but there are no guarantees.
