Mayhem Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Afaik, no issue bringing your own food/drink into the venue, I've never been to a con anywhere in the world that has stopped people doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGrego Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Are there lots of places to get food and drink while there? Or do you need to leave the venue? I noticed there's a little sainsburys down the road too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) There's a Pizza express inside but it gets very busy. You can bring your own or pop out if you prefer. If you zoom into the venue on the map you can see the ones inside https://olympia.london/visiting/food-drink Edited July 19, 2017 by Raylenth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so used to gigs and festivals where even if they allow snacks you are banned from bringing in drinks. I done a few cons before but as I never brought anything in with me I never knew it was any different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Not only Pizza Express. The upper Level has at least one other place (Name escapes me right now) and a couple of smaller vendors at the sides. Sainsburys or also the Tesco closeby are pretty busy too and have sold out of some items in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarcaScot Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Apologies if this has been asked/answered already but are there going to be any event programs on sale this year? I remember buying one at the show 2 years ago with MJF on the cover and thought it was really good - a nice read and totally professional without a ridiculous amount of advertising - but couldn't see any last year, or even any other people walking about with them. I'm just on a standard pass, so no goody bag for me, in case that is the only way of getting them. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenGrego Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Is there a guide time for photoshoot 'batches'? I bought Batch 7 for Kevin Smith but I'm a little worried now I won't make my 5 o clock train home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Not as such. Each batch takes about 10/15 minutes but that's dependent on everyone going through quickly. If you need to leave early there is a bit of a risk as activities can and do take place up until close. Best thing is to just wait until the schedule is published and if it looks like you may have an issue ask us for advice then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 And that schedule is on about a week before the Show. So hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Beaker Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Apologies if asked before. If I purchase autograph vouchers (to the value of all of the autos I wish to get over the weekend) and if for some reason some of the vouchers are unused (couldn't get to see the guest because of volume, guest leaves early etc etc) can they be refunded?

Raylenth Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I would presume they are non refundable Tom but could be used at other SM events. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks for that. Am not a morning person so must have been too busy looking for the guy with the bacon butties Will do my best to get fed earlier this year and be more with it!
