Skooler Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Can anyone help please... I purchased a ticket for the Saturday which is YALC entry..this was the only option for entry as it was announced as sold out months ago..on here,the official site. Now general sale went back on and I can't enter the event till after 10am yet my pal has general entry and we will be there very early. Am not very happy about this as I'm not standing next to a door for 2 hours waiting to get in because I had no option to buy a different ticket. Am not bothered about the extra few quid but how can I change the ticket over,cos am not buying another?? Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sorry, I am really not sure what you saw there. It was never announced on here or the site that the Saturday tickets were sold out completely. At the very maximum the store was showing "sold out", and that's the default entry when a quantity goes to zero. Stock levels are adjusted manually, so the only thing that can have happened is that you bought during a time when the shop allocation had run out. That had happened a couple of times, people asked here, the mods checked if the office hadn't noticed anyway and more stock was added. We all asked everyone to wait until we heard back from the office before buying anything else. The delay was mostly a couple of hours only, and there definitely never was an announcement on here tickets were sold out. You need to e-mail shop@showmastersevents.com and explain what happened. This is nothing the mods can't make any call on, this is a store decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewrolar Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I have a entry query so won't start a new thread Last year we bought 2 weekend tickets and on the Friday when I handed in my print at home tickets, we were offered 2 weekend wristbands or 3 separate day tickets each (Fri -sun) we took the tickets. Would this be offered still? Also, I noticed that I have to put names on my weekend tickets this year Could I ,for e.g.(if I bought a weekend ticket) put my name on the Friday and Sunday tickets and my brothers name on the Saturday one? (I'm not attending on sat) I then plan to buy another single Sunday ticket for my brother. Or, do I have to buy 4 seperate tickets ? (Fri, Sat, Sun x 2 ) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fri, Sat, Sun x 2 ) Thanks Tickets are specific to one person and can't be shared. Those tickets shouldn't have been offered to you last year, this must have been a misunderstanding along the way. If you buy a weekend ticket you get a weekend wristband at entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedammit Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have a question too: How am I going to cope with wearing a Gold Pass wristband for three whole days? I hate wearing anything on my wrist, and it might drive me insane. I'll end up talking gibberish about potatoes to everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring ketchup for the potatoes? *ducks and runs* My skin is quite sensitive, so I usually wrap a small Bandage around my wrist to prevent direct contact. But if it's the wearing on the wrist part that is the Problem that will probably make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a moment to process that this is a thing people genuinely have problems with, because this is what my arm looks like on a regular non-cosplay day... And that's just my left arm... I could use the legendary potato wielding superpowers and transfer my wristband tolerance skills to you for the weekend, if that would be of any help.

Queen_Sindel Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I would gnaw my arm off after about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I honestly don't feel them at all! I almost wish I had my own Gold Pass wristband just to add to the collection! Though I'll be removing them all for my cosplay... now that's an uncomfortable thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, maybe rubbing ketchup on my wrist would make things more comfortable, although I'd end up looking like FT's cosplay.

If you could spare enough tolerance for me to be able to wear a watch without smashing its face against mine, that would be delightful thank you.

Sam_Carter96 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The gold pass wristbands are made from a much better material than the paper wristbands you normally get at events (the ones where you pull off the strip to stick it down, and end up sticking it down to some of your skin by mistake and have to peel it off, losing some arm hair in the process ) It's much more durable and there's no sticky part at all (or there wasn't last year at least). It works more like a belt (with one side having multiple holes in it so it can fit different wrist sizes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Do you really have to wear the wristband all the time? I was wearing my early entry Brighton wristband only when i was entering the venue. And with Gold Pass I aim to wear it only when I really have to. I don't want it to be on during masquerade or in the actual pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yeah it's not removable, the only way to take it off is to cut through it with scissors and once it's removed that's it. It's so that people don't sell them I suppose, if someone with a gold pass has seen the guests they want and has no more use for it they could try and sell it on but once it's been cut the crew would probably pull aside the person who has it and do ID checks and could refuse entry I suppose.

RoryMcGarrett Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ok so how you shower with it then? You have to wear it for 3 days straight so i thought it would be the one you can take off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) If it's like the type I'm thinking of it's plastic so totally showereable. https://www.idcband.com/security-wristbands/vinyl-wristbands I think they would be like these.

Wrong Name Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yup, it's plastic. No problems with the shower, but yes it will be void if removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryMcGarrett Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 My only hope that they will put it on me the way they did with early entry wristband and it will be loose eough to slip it through my small wrist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Legend has it that Billy the Kid had large wrists and small hands, meaning he could escape any handcuffs. That would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 My wrists haven't been visible since 2011. Heaven knows if they're fat or skinny at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
