We're generally not doing that on the forum because this may potentially be abused. In any case, tell crew at the David shoot (the earlier one) you have the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it is listed under "main stage". So you go to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neelix Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi, I'm attending Saturday and have a general admission ticket. I have a query regarding some of my photo ops clashing - I have tickets for Wil Wheaton w/ Big Bang set (batch #2), Emily Kinney (batch #3), Benedict Cumberbatch (batch #11), Steven Yeun (batch #5), James and Oliver Phelps (batch #10) and Finn Jones (batch #5) - I've never this many ops before and I'm not sure how to go about ordering my clashing shoots. Emily Kinney's AM shoot clashes with Benedict Cumberbatch's AM shoot, but Emily Kinney's PM shoot clashes with James and Oliver Phelps' PM shoot and Finn Jones' shoot slightly clashes with Benedict Cumberbatch's PM shoot. Would I be right in attending Wil Wheaton's shoot, then Emily Kinney's AM *instead of Benedict Cumberbatch's AM*, Steven Yeun's, then James and Oliver Phelps' PM *as I wouldn't have to Emily Kinney's PM if I get through in the AM*, then Finn Jones' and finally, Benedict Cumberbatch's PM. Do you think that would work? Though I'd probably have to ask crew at Emily Kinney's AM and Finn Jones' shoot about possibly getting through faster for it to actually work. If anyone has a better solution to my clashing ops, I'd really appreciate hearing it. Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly have for me to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx You don't have a single issue as far as I can see it Neelix - my suggestion is as follows: I've advised times where I think you might be but you may need to come back but you don't appear to have any issues WW TBBT - go to that at 9.35/40 EK - go for 10.35 and see where they are, you might be able to go through (if not 2.35) BC for abut 11.30 SY - 2pm Phelps - 3.15 Finn - 4.40 Edited July 27, 2017 by Raylenth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if your lists are as long as this one. If you are going to get called even for Emily and Benedict it would be for the end of the morning shoots. You have no issues there. Do Wil's photo, then check out Emily's photo shortly before the end if your batch has been called, then for the end of Benedict's shoot. For Steven you will also be in the afternoon session. TooTall has given his best estimates in the schedule, and he's normally not much off - not by 2 batches. So Steve PM, then Emily PM if necessary, keep an eye on time and if necessary let crew know you have the Twins. Then over to the twins. Then Finn and then Benedict if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman71 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 No offence but can't people work out for themselves in which order to do photo shoots? The schedule has been up for a week. I have 36 photos over the weekend ( no gold pass) and I know exactly which order they are in. It is not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If batch 12 or worse 28 shows up 10 minutes before the Benedict shoot for example they will be in for a long wait, and I am sure that time could be spent better. Give it at least 5 minutes per batch from the start time. So batch 4 could try 15 minutes after start time for the longer shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you feel that way Iceman71, and I know the schedule has been you for a week - I have been printing out and editing the copies* (*as the schedule has change over said week) so I know where roughly I should be - I just wanted to make sure I hadn't messed up, I'm only 16 and I've never been to a Con this big this one, so it is all rather daunting sorting out the schedule, map, queuing system etc. So thank you Raylenth for understanding that - and I hope that once I get used to bigger Cons like this one, that I will be able to be as successful at meeting as many guest as you are, Iceman71.

marion Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi, can anyone tell me? If you want to get an autograph of Mads, you go and pay for it in the centre and join the queue early as possible on the day? I have never been to comic con and all I want is to see Mads and I'm not keen to buy the photo op so I'm choosing to get an autograph one but it doesn't seem to able to get the ticket online unlike photo op.

Autographs are paid for at the guest tables (unless paying by card then you need to buy vouchers at the sales desk to hand over at guest table). Check out the FAQ thread for details of the virtual queue system, as Mads will definitely be on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read FAQ but I was still unsure because this is my first time. I presume if I get there early and wait for it, I can see Mads for sure. VQ system looks convenient. Many thanks again!

Undocontrol88 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie and tomorrow (Saturday) is my first time. I have a clash in the morning- I'm batch 5 to meet Benedict, but I am batch 1 to meet Christopher Lloyd and the Delorean shoot. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do?

Go see Lloyd first as you have a low batch number. Cumberbatch will be busy with Diamond and Gold passes before starting on the batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
