M'ladyAthos Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi, just wondered when you will be posting the floor plan and photo shoot times and locations so we can plan weekend? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knitty Fred Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'd imagine that it will be next week it gets released (or possibly the end of this) but they are at London this weekend so that will also have a bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'ladyAthos Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I went to London one last July but recall schedule was up two weeks before not last minute i.e next week - people do need to know times so can plan travel etc if not local.

Queen_Sindel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Two weeks early was unusually early. One of the reasons for that was because the summer show is the biggest show of them all. Normally yes, the schedule does go up about a week before the show. If we're lucky 10 days, but that will not happen this time. I'd expect it Wednesday next week, but that is just a personal guess.

M'ladyAthos Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 sorry bit confused...so if lucky i.e 10 days that will be tomorrow? If not then the weekend or will it be days before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I said "If we are lucky 10 days, but that will not happen this time." As KnittyFred has already said, the London show is this weekend. Realistically the schedule will be posted at some point next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StuartG2198 Posted February 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2016 There isn't always one published, there wasn't this time for LFCC Spring so we can't guarantee I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompain100 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) To be honest, given the size of the venue, Cardiff doesn't really justify a floorplan published in advance Edited February 28, 2016 by tompain100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'ladyAthos Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I understand that Cardiff does not compare with Olympia etc but we do need an idea in advance where the photo shoot locations are, plus autograph tables - looking at last year's comments it seems not all on one level and some fans said when asked staff they had no idea!

Queen_Sindel Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 You need to ask SM crew, not venue staff. That was part of the problem last year. Once the crew is back hopefully at least the locations of the photoshoot areas should be posted. But exact guest locations (like where Tom is sitting) are pretty much never posted at the smaller events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'ladyAthos Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks, hopefully photo shoot locations posted that is main thing I want, I will be there in plenty of time so can find out where autograph tables are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilFluffyBiteyThing Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The layout is pretty straightforward - as you go in you'll have the vehicle (The Mystery Machine this year!) in front of you, and there'll be stalls to the left and right both along the walls and then stretching into the main arena space. The guests are always towards the rear of the arena - some in a central 'island', the others ranged along the back wall. There's usually a large open area between them and the front of the hall which gets packed with amazing cosplayers, so there's always something fab in the vicinity! Photo shoots and talks are usually upstairs (the Speeder shoot might be in the foyer - the prop shoots tend to be there) - the Showmasters team can point you in the right direction. The team's usually located opposite the guest tables towards the front of the hall, facing inwards. There are generally signs up, and you can access the upper floors via stairs and lifts from each of the four corners of the main arena. The cloakroom is also usually upstairs on the first floor. I rather like not having a floor plan - it makes everything such an exciting discovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'ladyAthos Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) That is so helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Roll on Saturday! Good also about the stair access as don't like lifts! Edited February 29, 2016 by M'ladyAthos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samphirette Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Photo shoots and talks are usually upstairs (the Speeder shoot might be in the foyer - the prop shoots tend to be there) - the Showmasters team can point you in the right direction. The team's usually located opposite the guest tables towards the front of the hall, facing inwards. There are generally signs up, and you can access the upper floors via stairs and lifts from each of the four corners of the main arena. Each show so far the guest photoshoots have been on floor 1 plus there has been a gaming area (I've not read if that's here this time) Floor 2 have been the guest talks and cosplay/talks/masquerade. The personnel that are sat on chairs on each level are venue staff/security. Showmasters crew are usually in blue or red crew shirts. There are usually posters on both stairwells indicating what is on each level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faye sharples Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 hi i will be getting bus from swansea if i get there about 12:30 pm will i still get in i am in the disabled que with my mum :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you have an entry ticket you will. There won't be a queue at that point, the standard entry go in at 11 am so the main entry queue's will have all gone in by 12.30. If you don;t have an entry ticket yet I believe they are selling tickets on the door so you should be fine and they shouldn't sell out on the entry tickets but please bear in mind that's not a guarantee.
