andrewrolar Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Sorry to ask a "how long is a piece of string " type question , but... Are we expecting queues to get in, to rival last year's ? I have my first Saturday shoot at 1245. (Unless the Ron Perlman cancellation changes the schedule) . I aim to arrive outside at 930 ish. I'm hoping it won't take 3 hours to get in from then ?! No, it won't. The queues are usually long but entry is very very quick.. I think most people were in within 20 minutes at the max of the doors opening last year. Last year I was there at 730, doors opened 900 and I was in by 930. However, I'm not sure how long the people arriving after me took to get in, especially those that arrived after 900am , which will be me on Saturday.

Raylenth Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Don't forget this year they are using the loading hall which will open around 7am on Saturday - that means that for 2 hours, everyone who goes in will have had their ticket scanned and will be ready to go, like the beginning of a marathon' as soon as the show officially opens at 9am.

andrewrolar Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Just realised I have a shoot on Saturday at 1155 before my 1245 one ( pending alterations) so that's 2.5 hours max to get in Query...can't find Rex Smith's Saturday photo shoot time, am I blind !!

Well, given that I also don't see a Saturday shoot on sale for him in the shop (just Friday/Sunday ones) I'm guessing that's because there isn't one. Just Friday afternoon and Sunday lunchtime.

Dreamsphere Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Queen, you are a true treasure,i just wanted to let you know this,thank you so so much for this info. Though I really hope I don't come off dim but unlike last year where YALC were being made to line up with regular weekend ticket holders, we just go to our door when we get to the Olympia? I won't be stopped by an angry security person again? 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChwaerFach Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi ! I am not sure if this is the place to ask this but : is there any food sold inside the show ? (if yes, is there a vegetarian option?) or will we have to buy something before coming ? Thank you :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 There are some Food places, but they are not run by SM. So I'm afraid no info on the current menus. I remember a Smoothie place, that was the only one I set foot in. There's also a Pizza Express, so I guess worst case Scenario a cheese pizza would still be an Option. Sorry. Maybe someone remembers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if yes, is there a vegetarian option?) or will we have to buy something before coming ? Thank you :) Hi there😀 Right,let's see how good my memory is. Ground floor we had a pizza place seperated in two. One half was just for pizza in take away boxes and bottles of drink with some seating. The other half was a pizza restaurant but with other Italian type foods too. 1st floor; had this cafe place that served fruit and snacks until 12 ( or 1pm can't remember) then hot food after like chips,burgers,hot dogs and such. On the other side was a sort of kiosk place that sold food too but I didn't go there so don't know 2nd floor: seemed to be a slightly healthier stop. Some seating with salad and panini ( spelling?) on the menu with lots of nice healthy looking other options. Hope this helped some 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless though these venues know the people will buy so they up the price anyways. First place was ok for just pizza on its own and drink. Second one was yummy and a burger,chips and coke cost me I think ( can't really remember) 8 pound. I only bought drink in the healthy place.

The_batflash123 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 So, newbie here, let's say I want an autograph of Dolph Lundgren. Where can I get a Virtual Ticket? I'm a little confused by those VT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) The VQ's (Virtual Queue) are given out at the head of each guests queue. Find Dolph's desk and the crew member at the end of it will be giving them out. The ticket will have Dolph's name on so you'll know if you've got the right one.
