DIDS Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I can believe it. I gave my ticket to a girl and she did not even look at it. I could have given a blank piece of paper and and got in no problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 My brother and I arrived yesterday morning and no-one asked to see at our entry tickets, so we just walked straight in. I told a crew member i was concerned, particularly as it was already extremely busy inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanha94 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yesterday when I arrived (with my weekend wristband I collected on Friday) security said I had to queue in the normal queue again. I'm sure you can imagine my reaction when I got to the front of the very long queue and a showmasters team member said I actually didn't have to queue again!

Darfdork Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm in queue again today with weekend wristband as yesterday 3 different people told me I had to . I just hope I get in for my Robert englund talk. Maybe next year have a day ticket queue and a weekend wristband queue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I presumed that you still had to queue as normal with a weekend band, it doesn't give you any priority over day tickets. I thought you queued as normal and just showed your band on entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you queued as normal and just showed your band on entry. You did. The only difference was when you got to the doors they had one for people with wristbands to go through so you didn't have to queue up with those having tickets scanned.

magiclee Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's all down to venue staff, nit show masters. I brought a weekend pass ages ago. Got the cards. So I didn't get wrist band. I loving the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destructogal17 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Also I didnt have any of my VQTs taken off of me once i had joined the queue so there was nothing stopping me (except my own honesty and morals) from giving my used ticket to some one else or using it again myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magiclee Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 100% it was venue staff. With people having line trouble etc, was down to them. Must say thou, there was one running the que near the underground station. Was on top form. If show masters crew was there, would have been better.

007 spells Bond Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I can believe it. I gave my ticket to a girl and she did not even look at it. I could have given a blank piece of paper and and got in no problem. Never would've happened if Strickland was in charge of security , he'd give those slackers a piece of his mind *chuckles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've still got my Saturday entry ticket because they weren't paying any attention to me and I could of had the Friday and Sunday ticket as well if I hadn't waited around for them to take them. One girl on the Sunday had no idea what to do with my ticket - she looked at it and then me and was like what do I do with it - I said tear it and then hand me part of it back - tried to give me the small bit. Obviously never worked or gone to an event before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphic_Delusions Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've still got my Saturday entry ticket because they weren't paying any attention to me and I could of had the Friday and Sunday ticket as well if I hadn't waited around for them to take them.

Obviously never worked or gone to an event before. Similar inconsistencies with me also: Friday - Girl took my Friday ticket. I asked whether she can tear the small bit and I keep the large part as a souvenir but she said no. Saturday - I walked straight in without anyone paying attention. I was holding my ticket up visible for everyone to see but I was ignored by all. I still have this ticket. Sunday - The only day where it appeared to run more smoothly. The person ripped off the small part and I was given the large section of the ticket back. Also, on Saturday, when a member of crew gave my sister a weekend wristband in the queue they were about to give me one too. I'm guessing their scanning machines doesn't confirm the number of entry passes from the e-ticket, but I could have been given a free weekend pass. Of course I was honest by telling them that the e-ticket was just for my sister and that I already have my own tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveamyadams Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 i thought the Olympia staff outside did a pretty good job organising the corwds bearing in mind the huge number of people who turned up and mostly within an hour or so of each other. seemed better than Earls Court offical staff who just didn't seem to want to get involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
