spengler Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Is this realistic in one day? Currently looking at: 6 photos 7 autos via VQ (not same guests as photo guests) 1 diamond pass guest (no talk). 2 talks (not through the diamond pass guest). No doubt there'll be more added to the list with future announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdamoni Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 That's perfectly possible, just make sure you have your vQ tickets on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'd say probably, but really it all depends on which guests you want to meet, and what the schedule will be which we won't find out until a lot closer to the show. No one can give you a solid answer on that one I'm afraid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 If you let us know who the shoots and autos are for that will help advise you, and which day you are doing it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spengler Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Thanks all. At the minute only 2 of the more expensive guests excluding the diamond pass guest. All on the Saturday. Edited March 30, 2017 by spengler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Not unrealistic, but not guaranteed. Talks can always clash with photoshoots though which can mean missing part of the talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah I'd be happy doing that but would assume I'd have to miss parts of talks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spengler Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Maybe I'll wait on the schedule release then if no clashes with the talks I'll book the talk tickets (of course if tickets are still available - I wouldnt be too gutted if they had sold out - I'd rather get the photos and autos as a priority).

spengler Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Actually your answers have helped a lot in me deciding to not upgrade to a diamond pass (with talk) for one of the photo shoots I have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbond22 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 with gold pass i can do 27 photoshoots in one day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted March 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) As the others have said if you are around all day, in at a reasonable time for your VQs you should be able to get plenty done. In previous years I've managed 10/15 photos in a day with similar amount of autos and a couple of talks so it is doable.

rjw499 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 if its at all possible, DO NOT GO ON THE SATURDAY Saturday's one hour queues turn into Sunday's one minute queues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesberg Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 can't you do two days? you'll spend the whole day charging around and if your like me, worrying about whether you can make it to the next thing on time, which isn't very enjoyable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spengler Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks for the replies. I'd rather risk the autos than pay for a gold pass. 2 days isnt really an option for me and Saturday it is. Am quite happy for early starts but I'm not getting there for 4am! I dont mind being 'busy' on the day. Last year was great but I didnt book much up so had a lot, almost too much, spare time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorses Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I did loads of Autos, couple of photoshoots and 1 big talk, but it really depends on how many "big" actors you going for or lot of "small" ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebster118 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 we were the very first in the line ( friend got in line at 4am) and ran for the vq's. May I remind people that RUNNING for VQ's provokes TooTall into shouting at you ! And believe me you don't want that ! " Shudders " May be that was just a figure of speech ? I second that as I observed this last year. Not only will you get told off but it's poor form. You could end up looking like a buffoon and you could also injure yourself and/or orhers. I had 7 autographs and 1 photoshoot planned on the Saturday at the 2015 LFCC, and managed all this bar one autograph, with little time to check out the dealer tables. Bear in mind that at the time, the guests and photoshoots were on 2 different floors and less space was used, compared to last year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever_charmed Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Looking at VQ'ing about 3 autographs if not more on Sunday lol but wishing I was crewing the event ... been sort off missing it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Interesting read guys, very helpful. So far, my priority is to get more names on my Rogue One Poster... so I'll be racing to the following for a VQ ticket if needed (fingers crossed): Alan Tudyk / Daniel Naprous / Alistair Petrie / Valene Kane / Richard Franklin. Somewhere in the itinerary I will HAVE to get a VQ ticket to Ian McDiarmid... so, so, so many Star Wars autographs in my collection and never met the Emperor. I know it won't be plain sailing as I don't land at Euston station 'til after 9am, so will get through the doors about 10ish I should imagine. Not hopeful on accomplishing what I want to accomplish - but a guy can try right? Thanks for the help team, may the force be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the others, I don't think they'll all be on VQ tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair won't I wouldn't have thought. He'll be popular but mainly only for the Star Wars and Sherlock crowd I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomorph Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Last year with a gold pass I purchased 16 photos for the Saturday. However, due to an overrun (which happens quite often), I missed out on two photos. I still managed to squeeze in a few autographs during a big time gap between shoots. I think this year I'll keep it to around 10-12 photos per day, just to play it safe. I remember my first con in 2012 without a gold pass. I think I managed about 8 on one day without too much stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
