Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted July 24, 2017 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 24, 2017 DIAMOND & GOLD PASS COLLECTION - Thursday 27th July 2017 Customers will be able to collect Diamond Passes and Gold Passes from the National Hall Reception (eīntrance on Hammersmith Way) on Thursday from 4pm to 8pm. Please note this entrance will not be used on days the show is open. GOLD PASS ENTRANCE & COLLECTION - Friday, Saturday & Sunday Collection will be located at the Grand Hall Entrance on Olympia Way (opposite Kensington Olympia Station) MAIN ENTRANCE, PRE-PAID TICKETS, PAY ON THE DAY, DISABLED, EXTRA HELP and DIAMOND PASS COLLECTION - Fri, Sat and Sun Is located in the West Hall and accessed via Gate H Diamond Pass collection is after bag check, but before the scanning/checking point for tickets. ie you can collect Diamond Passes, even if you are not attending the show on that particular day. Please note Diamond passes do not give entry to the show and you will need a valid ticket to gain entry. IF YOU PICK UP DIAMOND PASSES FOR ANOTHER PERSON YOU WILL REQUIRE THEIR ORIGINAL PICTURE ID!! This means ID of the person given as ticket holder when placing the order. The West Hall and Gold Pass area will start scanning and issuing of wristbands at the following approximate times Fri 8am Sat 7am Sun 8am Pay on the Day Tickets are subject to availability on a first come first served basis. It is extremely likely that Saturday will sell out prior to the event so we would recommend booking these as soon as possible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Awesome! That's my Thursday plans sorted! Although I wish the Gold pass entrance for the weekend wasn't across the other side of the venue from the guests. With only 5 mins head start now, most of that time is gonna be spent crossing the venue!. I hope they do all ticket and bag checks before we go in as that will slow us down even more!

FanGirl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The extra help email tells us to queue with/near the Gold Pass people is this now not the case? Sorry I'm just a little confused as this was the case last year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm assuming Gate H will be obvious once we get into the doors at West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4vem88 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I've emailed the help@showmasters address about someone picking up my diamond pass on my behalf, haven't heard back yet. Does anyone have any info on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one on the FAQ before Photobucket screwed their customers, there should be one coming on there if you check back every now and again.

yellowmarlin Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Perfect! Delighted to be able to pick up my diamond pass on the Saturday rather than Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanGirl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 9 minutes ago, Queen_Sindel said: This is for pass collection only. So we collect our Weekend Pass/Wristband and the Extra Help Wristbad from one side of the building and and then queue at the other side? I'm just confused because obviously these passes can only be collected on the days of the Con and not the Thursday so when I get off the Tube instead of me not having to go that far around the building and just joining the queue as it was last year it's now in a different place is that right? The wrist bands and ticket scans for Disabled people were done within the queue they had been told to queue in within the email? Thanks for all your help clarifying this up I panic if things aren't straight in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iloveyouiknow Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So the 5 minutes we get will enable us to reach the guests at the same time as non gold guests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spengler Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Looks like the same entrance as last year fior standard tickets I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Boy Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As this all changed from last year then ? .... when we went into the big holding hall we got our bags checked then our weekend wrist band before being let through to the holding area.

Googed Olympia gates and came across the following map - https://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/examinations/exams/Olympia-London---Venue-Map.pdf - looks like the only gate in West so same as last year and means we are queueing inside again (thankfully). Glad to see college web sites are good for something 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spengler Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Another question. I'll be in the queue alone. As the diamond pass pickup is before entry if I get chatting with others in the queue can I rejoin them after collecting my dp if they have entered into the loading hall? What would I do? Ask a steward to escort me to them (i wouldnt want it to look like i am queue jumping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briscoefilms Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sorry, I know a lot of people are asking questions and I'm sure this is completely stupid of me, but just to clarify. So I'm one of the idiots that queues from silly o'clock for low virtual queue numbers. This year, for the first time, I've also bought a couple of diamond passes for guests. So do I need to go collect these diamond passes before queuing to get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I need to go collect these diamond passes before queuing to get in? Not sure Briscow. The collections desk may actually not be open that early so hopefully once we arrive we will see. I'm hoping we can go and get our place in the queue and then go over to the Diamond desk at our convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmoriarty Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 32 minutes ago, Queen_Sindel said: This is for pass collection only. "Extra Help Entry – Please make yourself known to Showmasters front door crew. If we have a gold pass holders queue please ask to enter there. If you have a timed entry you can only enter after that time. Our expectation is that you can enter with minimum queuing on this entrance instead of the standard line." From the email I received this seems to conflict with advice above. Which is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
