lmhrpr Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 My brother has a 17:15 photoshoot with Sigourney Weaver today and he's a bit worried about reports of hours-long queues to get it, to get up and down stairs, etc. Should he be setting off now or has the issue been exaggerated?

one of vicky's bfs Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Queen Sindel has already said on another thread that everyone is in for at least an hour, so there is no queue! Edited July 18, 2015 by one of vicky's bfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You mean the line for the photoshoot or am I reading this wrong? There was a delay of some sort with the morning shoot That caused a bit of a congestipn because despite being told about the batch system people jzst wouldn't move... had to give up and go to my talk too.

lmhrpr Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks. I meant just at any point between the street and the photo shoot. Neither of us has been before and we're not 100% sure how it works or how much time is needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have asked for someone working at the doors to come on. Anything I poat is going through at least one middleman and that doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I left at about 12.30 and there were still a lot of people queuing to get in, however it was moving quickly and I didn't have any issues getting in this morning. The venue is busy and some isles are a little difficult to get down as people obviously aren't moving quickly but I thought it was well organised and everything moved smoothly.

Trez1329 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hey, first time at lfcc. Flying in from belfast but get to the venue at around 9. What do the queues work to get in? Waiting time etc? Thanks. Sorry if its been asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You'll probably be fairly well back in the queue if you arrive at that time and I can't really give you an estimate of how long it will take you to get in. I got to the venue at about 6.45 this morning so wasn't too far from the front and was therefore in in a few minutes once the door opened. However the later you arrive the further back you will be. Hopefully if anyone arrived around 9 today and see's this they can advise you what time they got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trez1329 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks. Hoping for miracle. Was the earliest flight in sadly, so cant get any earlier. Thanks though :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aearin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I don't blame anyone for not following the batch system. Regardless of batch, EVERYONE who is going into that shoot is hanging around the area because they know as soon as it gets called everyone will rush in and secondly, the communication has been terrible regarding the batches being called. Most of the time it's on an A4 whiteboard being held up. You have to get in close to read it! The kristian Nairn shoot just wasn't moving for 10 minutes after the start time, I had to push past everyone to get down to Caprice in time. The tall older guy with glasses at B was extremely rude. I asked him if I could go in now with a gold pass, he just said "no, wait til your called like I've been telling people". I just thought screw this and walked in anyway and got my photo seconds after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naboo79 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Queue this morning was crazy long. Arrived at 9.30 and got in around 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aearin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 One thing that made the queue move a bit faster was bumping into Pete from big brother. Not sure what he was doing and if he was even going in, just seemed to be walking up and down saying hi to everyone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeceWoody Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm really worried about tomorrow and don't seem to be getting any answers. My two friends went yesterday. One got in as he has a diamond pass for Freddy but the other didn't even get in and had to leave at 6pm to attend something else - was queuing from 12.30 and had a ticket to get in! She's had to email and complain! Why oversell tickets?? Surely there's a safety aspect as well. The one with the diamond pass says he couldn't get near anything. Ultimately, Showmasters, you will lose income as people will want refunds and I was going to prebook photo shoots for tomorrow to fit them in - as I was told there shouldn't be a problem getting to things! That's now not going to happen from what I've read so I miss out and the whole thing becomes a farce. Now I might be jumping the gun by pre-moaning, but I have little faith so far and if I don't gain entrance in time for my diamond pass paid talk at 10.10, fur will fly!

Aearin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I don't think they have oversold and I don't think the venue is over capacity. SM just need to tune up their crowd control and work on getting people in earlier and efficiently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 the other didn't even get in and had to leave at 6pm to attend something else - was queuing from 12.30 and had a ticket to get in! I don't see why she couldn't get in at all, I was there for half 2 and joined the longest queue I've ever had to at a comic con, but still got in, in under an hour.

Goonieboy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 When I was there Friday I would say that should be it's maximum capacity, so a bit worried about tomorrow, did not go today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Who advised that though? As far as I was aware everyone got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
