magiclee Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I missed getting an auto from some people because they were up on level 3. Any one else have this problem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahariel Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope - why would them being on L3 stop you from getting their autograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2015 Because you couldn't get to level 3 or you just didn't know they were there? It did say on the map there were signings there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoe Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I only found it Sunday by which time I was too late to get a VQ with a low enough number. Went on Friday to do a bit of recon and was told there was no level three it just looks like that on the plan. This was buy the staff of the Olympia itself. Once I was on level three another member of Olympia staff also told me there was no way down even though it was clearly marked as the down staircase an I had already been down once! I ignored him and told someone on the next level down that he was giving out false information. Some of the staff are just part timers so are poorly trained and informed. There was always going to be issues with it spread over so many different levels and areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleKnowsUs Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ummmm you have a vague idea how many guests there were and it NEVER occurred to you, "blimey, haven't seen Hayley Atwell anywhere, I wonder where she is?" REALLY? -.- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward One Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 In all fairness, I asked a number of people working there on Friday how I could get to the 3rd floor, as I was doing a bit of recon for the next two days and wanted to know my way around. None of them could tell me! I found it myself early on the Saturday (thankfully, as I had talks and autos up thete over the next two days) but I was concerned that a number of the people working the show didn't think there was a level 3 or didn't know how to get to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissangel4616 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Me.. well.. might be my own mistake/fault/problem... i missed it because I was stressed friday, confused a little bit with the levels, map, When I found the Elevator there was only a Shield with Info to the Gamezone but haven't reconized that I can get above to Level 3. Found it out late Saturday afternoon but had to go down again because of photoshoots in the Ground-Area. Yes I had the same issues like Wayward One. Also where I could let my luggage storage for a while. I found it (by luck) in Level 1. I was wondering why this wasn't on the Ground Floor. Sunday: lol.. the Elevator was all the time FULL!!!! and scared me a bit. Edited July 21, 2015 by Swissangel4616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siva Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I went all weekend luckily on Friday we did not need to go up to level 3 but on Sat/Sun all the GoT guests were up on level 3. On the Saturday we tried to find the Staircase to level 3 and it did take awhile but eventually I found the staircase to all levels and went up. Sure it was hard to find at first but we just opened our eyes and looked at all the signs and eventually found it. I did not end up missing any autos and the 3rd level was just the best place to chill out Edited July 21, 2015 by Siva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1980 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope missed level 3 on Friday but found the Kevin Eastman speech up there on Saturday with ease, and Derek Landy on Sunday on level 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck17 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Pretty sure level 3 was closed for a lot of the day on Friday as there was a graduation ceremony happening up there. Maybe that is why olympia staff were not forth coming with information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I knew I had some guest autos to collect from Level 3 from the floor plan, but I had to go to the organizers' desk to ask how to get to Level 3, as I could not find stairs going up there (although I later discovered that some do). As I started talking, I noticed the lifts on the floor plans and said I suspected I'd answered my own question and the staff agreed that the lifts were the way to go (so presume they didn't know about the stairs either?). Went and checked those out; saw the queues and decided not to risk it in case I couldn't get back down, so focused on Ground and Level 1 stuff until I had a nice big chunk of time, then went up to Level 3 and got all my autos in one go. Mind you, I was lucky enough to a) have a Gold Pass and b ) no photoshoots in area F, unlike some poor friends of mine. With luck that will be sorted next time once SM has taken on the feedback.

jaythree Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Level Three was closed on Friday. It didn't open until Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaxworkScream Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I knew there was a level 3 - even though I was told by a staff member it didn't exist.Saying 'It's closed today, Ma'am' on Friday would have been slightly more helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope - why would them being on L3 stop you from getting their autograph? There were two areas on Level 3, I never knew where the Star Wars guests were on level 3 until I looked on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge15 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It may be my high level of over-organisation, but this was my first ever showmasters comicon ever, and I only attended Sunday and found all the levels throughout the day quite easily... It would've been difficult to not notice the entire Game of Thrones cast, all the wrestlers and many major guests were no where else to be found!

tompain100 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Aside from a small break to eat some chips and my 2 photoshoots, I think my entire Sunday was spent waiting around Level 3 for Iain Glen/Rose Leslie autographs. Those chips though. So wrong, yet oh so right. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhiper Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yup, missed out on a few auto's, not because l didn't know of level three, but because getting in and out of level three was near impossible, especially in cosplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiga Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I almost missed out on RDA's autograph because a crew member told me he had been moved up to Level 3 and by the time I got up there, realised the error and back down to Level 1 I ended up with a much higher VT than I would have had. Aside from that though Level 3 did not have any adverse effects on my day. It was quite nice up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nats_89 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I agree that they didn't make it clear how to get to level 3 (and the floor plans beforehand didn't even seem to have a level 3?), but we were lucky enough to run into an amazing member of Showmasters staff on Saturday who actually cleared a way in the crowd for us and led us the whole way across the floor to the staircase! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any issues finding the stairs and lifts, just getting down them after the Aliens talk on Saturday which took 20mins! They fixed this on Sunday.

Klikklak2 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I didn't know there was an extra room on level 3 where all the sunday only star wars actors were sitting. Someone had to tell me on this forum sunday where i could find them. I saw some surprised faces of people who happened to walk past the room to find out there were more guests in there.

dizzcostu007 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Have to agree with wrong name. I saw the plan early too and used Friday to plan. Imagine it would be tough if you were there for one day, but thought there was enough info to say the third floor had guests and epic talks.

TerraHawk Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 thought there was enough info I'm not sure you can ever have enough info. Ultimately it's lost revenue for the event if you can't find the guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
