fanowaty Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 8 minutes ago, DanielNvL said: Thanks a lot for the reply It's appreciated! it's given me more confidence for when I get there! :) Are the VQ tickets quite easy to purchase when you're there or are they normally big queues? Thanks again :) You don't purchase them You go to the place where a guest is sitting. And if they will be under this system you'll see a crew member giving out numbered tickets, which hold your spot in the queue. When the guest will arrive, they will start calling people by the numbers. So it's best to get the numbers for all the guests you want to meet. Then, when your number is called (they write them on cards where the queue starts, so you can easily see what numbers are going in now), you join the queue and pay (and select image you'd like signed) at the table. So the VQ tickets itself are free, as they don't guarantee you an autograph, but hold your spot in the queue. But as I said, some guests will be an open queue, where you simply pay and get an autograph, no VQ tickets needed. You will understand that when you'll get there - if the guest does not have VQ system, there will be no crew members giving out tickets near his/her table. Hope that's clear. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday is the most busy, followed by Sunday and Friday. But I suggest you try to list those who are most important to you. Go for them first, keep an eye on queues and take the chance when you see a gap. I think you will manage to get them. Thanks a lot for the advice :) I think I'll go for Peter Mayhew first then work my way down, Thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the bigger guests first or those more important to you. As it will be easy to miss the chance of meeting them.

wjbleming Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just to make sure it's still the same, if we're upgrading to a Diamond Pass, we buy the Diamond Pass and email shop@showmastersevents.com including the names and order numbers on both for the photoshoot to be refunded, isn't it?

Thanks again And remember. If you have any questions while you are at the con look for the nice crew in their t-shirts. They will help you. I did 10+ signings last year, most were non-VQ, and I managed to do them all, did not miss out on any of them. The bigger guests will have a VQ-system, if you want one of them you’d better plan ahead to get to the signing area (see floor plan when it will be released..usually 7-10 days before) and get a ticket for those. Yes, there will be a morning vq-rush each day. I have Diamond Pass for the guests I really want autos from (far from all guests have Diamond Pass) but the rest I have planned are just like yours, most likely non-vq. The guest will be at the table signing all day unless they are at a photo session or having something to eat and such. They will be there until closing hour. But I would advice you put priority on guests who are there one day only, if the queing gets too large they might become a vq-guest even if it is £20 or less. The multi-day guests will be calmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
