Now those of us who aren't right at the front will be losing out on VQTs to the first wave of standard passes again. Oh, well! The General Entry does not start before all Gold Pass holders are in.

sterees Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I’m needing to collect Diamond Passes for Kevin Smith on Sunday. I’m going to the venue to see his podcast on the Saturday evening, will I be able to collect my passes then? What time does the pass collection close?

IIRC the poscast is after the show closes so the collection point won't be open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time does pass collection close? Just wondering if it's worth going down earlier, or is it fine just to rock up on Sunday morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can collect it earlier or on Sunday if you wish. if you collect it on Saturday at least it's done then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something different happens - there has been a mishap once or twice - you need to point this out at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) 2 minutes ago, one of vicky's bfs said: Trouble is that you can't wait for everyone with a Gold to be in, otherwise those with a standard could be waiting until midday, just in case someone is running late! I would assume it would be a case of giving the Gold passes a bit of a head start. Bare in mind that mistakes happen virtually every year and all they do is try to make things better. Take the disabled entrance case above, last year, Gold entrance didn't want me, Standard didn't me either, it was only when I managed to see someone higher up (well he is tall!) to help that I actually got my disabled pass and Vicky got her carers pass. That seems to have been sorted though with everything in one entrance. Vicky, they don't mean that. the same with VQ's they don't keep a list and say 'oh number 67 hasn't turned up so no one else can go through' They mean the people in the queue.

I'm just worried as the email I got from Samantha told me to go to the gold pass area like last year? I don't want to line up for hours yo be told I'm in the wrong place lol This topic is correct, I just double checked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Unfortunately I am the bearer of bad news for some. Diamond Pass pickup is strictly in person only. You will be asked to show ID. If the ID doesn't match the name on the list and the person picking up you will not be given the pass. No exceptions. I am very sorry, but apparently there have been some attempts to circumvent the rules. As someone else put it in another topic "this is why we can't have nice things."

But there is no Diamond pass entrance as diamond passes don't include entry. So you will go to either gold pass entrance or general entrance depending on what ticket you have bought.

D4vem88 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I emailed the shop too, to find out about someone else collecting my diamond pass, but haven't heard back. I can't really make the 2 hour round trip specially to collect my pass on Thursday. That's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
