Raylenth Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Just remember to go and get a VQ as soon as you get in, you can look around the venue after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh-hammond Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) sorry for bumping the thread but im a bit concerned now. do we have to pick up diamond passes on the friday after we've got into the con? will they be posted to us? whats happening? going for the passes in the morning is going to make getting decent numbered VQ tickets for any other guests people want to meet a pain. may have to hire a friend to pick up VQ tix for me Edited July 5, 2017 by josh-hammond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Collection only Josh. We don't have the details yet but last year you could collect them at any time once you were inside - they had a table set up in the general entry queuing hall. There may be the opportunity to collect them on the Thursday like they did last year, but again we have to wait for Showmasters to decide and announce if that's going to happen this year but unless you need a diamond pass as soon as you get in on the friday, you can go in and get your VQ's and come back. Alternatively, if they start collection early before the doors open, you can leave the queue and go over if it's in the same hall again but that relies on either having a friend to save where you are in the queue or asking and trusting the people queuing around you to save your space if you are on your own.

mschmidt Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I read through the FAQ, but couldn't find an answer to this question - if you have a Diamond pass for a specific guest and have more than 5 items you want signed, can you go through the line when your number is called and then return another time to go through the line again to get more items signed?

That should be answered in the FAQ. Yes you can, but you will need a Virtual Que Ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Naah I won't! And just to be absolutely clear if anyone reads this: I am joking. There are no Platinum passes for BC. It's Diamond or VQ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile 11 People have asked me - and frankly, I don't have the foggiest idea who most of them are - and Stuart is at 3. I guarantee you, if I could get ANYONE in the Benedict autograph line my own butt would come first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be able to pick up the tickets without an entry ticket for Saturday. The event closes on 6 PM as stated both in the FAQ and on the main website.

I think it's just the way it's been phrased pink, Queen means as long as you have the appropriate valid ticket for the day you want to collect your diamond passes then you can enter, so yes, with a gold you can go in everyday. You will need to have collected your gold pass first though obviously. A good few people ask if can go in and collect their diamond passes on days they don't have entry tickets for.
