Dorgris Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 If you mean the entry/photoshoot online tickets, you can use your phone - I have an iPhone, and I've saved the tickets from the Eventbrite app into my 'Passbook' app. You can show the tickets on that on the day. I really would recommend trying to find a place to print your tickets beforehand though as backup, to avoid any issues due to broken/lost phones or if your battery goes. I don't think there's anywhere on-site to print I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmorris2504 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This is great. I've been 3 times (2 Summer and one winter)and still found this helpful! Remember people. Common sense is KEY! However, these days common sense is so rare it should be classed as a super power lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorgris Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's really good to hear, I'm really chuffed that you're finding it useful. Ah common sense, how I remember thee.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1981 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hope you have a great time as well! I'm not surprised iv spent decent money already & iv only booked a few photos for me, my wife & daughter, only thing that isn't ideal is we won't get there till 8.30-9.00 as we are travelling down from Ipswich & cant leave before 6.30 as I need to wait for my dog sitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's a very good read even for a seasoned pro like myself, hope you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism? I was just wondering why under the travel section you didn't mention Kensington (Olympia) station right next to the venue? Depending on where the entrance is going to be, at most it will be a 5 minute walk which is better than a 20 minute walk from Earl's Court Station especially at the end of the day when we are all dragging our feet. Something to add under the wallet part on what to bring, you can make many friends with the Showmasters crew if you have plenty of £5 notes when paying for autographs!!

Dorgris Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks GMan, always happy to take on info - but I did mention both those things in the guide I said if the District Line isn't going to Olympia, go from Earls Court - and in the 'what to bring' section I mentioned to bring £5 notes! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Apologies if I missed them I do tend to skip read! I think I looked at the map and thought why isn't he showing Kensington Olympia on it! You sure you didn't edited your blog I'm sure the £5 part wasn't there!! JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knitty Fred Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 . I don't think there's anywhere on-site to print I'm afraid. From previous experience of working there I'm 99% certain there's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part of the District Line is closed this year although as far as I am aware the overland is running normally. The Circle Line is also down for that part although Piccadilly is up and running to Earls Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktimelord Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Really excellent guide I would also add to the What to Bring section a can of deodorant. It's a packed place, in summer and full of nerds. Lets be honest it can get a little fruity in there so ducking to the toilets every so often to refresh is considerate to your fellow attendees, staff and the guests.

PaulWalker1972 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Fantastic guide, thanks very much indeed. First time for me so I've bookmarked that and will read it again on the train down from Leeds on Saturday! Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorgris Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks Paul, really glad you liked it. Hopefully it'll mean there's nothing too surprising when you get there. It's all much easier when you've planned your day. Hope you have a great time :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryMcGarrett Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 good thing! i have a question, do YALC tickets have priority to entry the venue or not really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorgris Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) YALC tickets get you access to the YALC area between 9-11, after which ordinary LFCC ticket holders can get in too. You can get in the LFCC area too though anytime you like (after 9am). Edited June 12, 2015 by Dorgris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
