Spookie Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi, I'm hoping someone could put my mind at rest - this seems to be the biggest LFCC by far, and I'm a little concerned after the advanced tickets sold out that there may be a situation where the venue's maximum capacity (for fire regulations) may be reached and no more people would be let in until people leave... I heard that happened at another SM event, albeit a smaller one... I am only after one guest (David Wenham) so I wasn't planning on getting an early bird ticket. But now I'm worried about how busy it may be even just by 11am-midday... Hopefully I'm worrying about nothing, but would appreciate any info! Cheers!

Zahariel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 EC2 has a max capacity of 10750 and EC1-BH has 5000 - plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ah great, thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SciFiRob Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Considering how busy it was Friday night...Saturday will be absolutely packed. Should say I was in prepaid early bird queue at 5.45 and got inside event at 6.25. Took just over hour in Sales queue...

kerry452 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This has now happened!!! All priorities to ticket holders, im near gateb to buy (have been here since 9:30) and have been told we might not get in at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolik Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Horrendous I was a bit worried something like this might happen but hoped that the lessons of Newcastle had been learnt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpyghostface Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Are prepaid ticket holders getting in at all, do you know? And might anyone know how long the prepaid-ticket queue is to get in at the mo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Well that was exactly what I was worried about... I was helping my sister on her stall and only got in as we bought an extra wristband... I later caught up with other friends who'd queued 8/8:30am and didn't get in til 11:30am, but also heard from others outside that no one was being let in - I think that was around midday... I did manage to get David Wenham's autograph as he was open queue. I wonder how many advanced tickets were sold vs the venue's capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 EC2 has a max capacity of 10750 and EC1-BH has 5000 - plenty of room. Plenty of room... i think you spoke too soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that must be for an open and empty hall... Here's hoping they stop letting people in sooner today so those already in can move around. Might not be what some people want to hear, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveamyadams Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) at one point yesterday there were so many people trying to get through the area where Kenny Baker was signing i stood still for 10 minutes without moving I stood in a queue for a bottle of water for 20 minutes. and inside the mens loo there were queues for the wash basins, cubilcles and urinals.

SgtAngua Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yesterday was horrifically overcrowded and dangerous. We left at 2pm because we couldn't get to anything and couldn't get near the stalls to browse. Had someone collapsed in the stifling heat, it would have taken at least 10-15 mins to get a first aider there. It took me 15 mins to get from one side of the main stage to the other to get to the bathroom, and we were crammed like sardines. The main problem seemed to be the amount of people trying to read the photoshoot price lists on the wall in that section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
