natedammit Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Getting there for about 8.15. Not getting any autos Saturday, just shoots and talks, with them beginning at 10.30am :) If you're not getting autographs there's no real need to get there that early - unless you really like to queue. Just estimating based on previous years (so very far from a guarantee), but if you get there for 8:15 you might get in around 9:20ish. If you arrive after 9:45 you should get in pretty much straightaway. That still gives you plenty of time to get your bearings before 10:30.

Darfdork Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hey everyone. Excited for the con? I know I am. What time do you think is best to start queuing up over the weekend? I don't fancy being at the back of a very large queue for hours on end. Just need to pack and work out my schedule now of talks photo shoots and diamond pass stuff. Safe travels all and thanks showmasters for organising it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfools Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Very early, if you arrive shortly before it opens, even by 1hr, you most likely will be far back in queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted July 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately that a bit of a crystal ball question, it's very hard to say when you should queue up as this years event is much different to previous years (diamond passes, Friday now longer etc) in my opinion most people generally queue an hour or two in advance, some queue for longer.

Wayward One Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm really looking forward to this weekend! Absolutely no idea what to expect as I've never been to anything like this before, but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy myself. I was planning on arriving to queue about an hour before doors open, with standard entry. However, now that the timetable has been released and I've noticed that Sigourney Weaver has her first shoot at 9.30 I'm wondering if I should arrive earlier. I know she has a later shoot but it's last thing and I'd like to be away by then. So might have to start queuing earlier than I hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
