Bag policy is basically unless otherwise stated, be prepared to have them look but that's it.  There's no restriction on sizes or composition.

 

As for Diamonds there is a lot here already, especially in the early pages (I appreciate we have chatted a lot in here!) but if you can let us know who it's for we can be a bit more specific with advice.

@Raylenth I don`t mind them looking into bag, glad there`s not a restriction on bags.

I`m seeing Mark Strong.

Thank you. :coolthumb:

He's there Sat and Sun and you've bought quite early so chances are you will have a lowish number.  You will find out what your pass number is when you collect it, it will be printed on the pass.

For your photo, the Diamond passes get to go first, when the schedule goes up note the time and if you wish to be amongst the first group get there for the start and they will call all Diamonds for Mark first.  Just join the queue, they won't put you in ticket number order so don't worry about that.  Like with all photo's you can go after your passes have been called so if you prefer to go later in the session you can, just find one of the crew, show them your pass and they will slot you in as near to the front as possible.  If you go later you won't be taken to the front.  They will clip your pass on the camera icon printed on it to show you have claimed that part of the included items so be prepared to let them clip it as you go in.

Auto's are the same as the VQ system really, again they will start the day off calling only Diamonds, for example Diamonds 1-20, then 1-40, 1-60 and so on, so you can join the queue when your number has been called.  They will call at a reasonable rate and if people aren't arriving or choosing to come later they will up the number and if they reach the last Diamond they will start to call VQ's - the board will then read 'All Diamonds, VQ 1-20' ect.  So if you go through later, again identify yourself as a pass holder and they will let you through.  If you are lucky they might slot you in further down but it's not guaranteed.   Your pass will be clipped again and if you want more auto's just buy extra's as you normally would.  If you go to the session later after they have started calling VQ's and you want extra auto's just make it clear to the crew taking the money that you want however many but 1 of them is your included auto.

If Mark is a slow signer and depending on your number you might not be called until Sunday but I don't see it happening personally, it's just something you have to be aware may happen.

That's OK Kelsey, we are here to help :D

 

Or are we?  If you see us starting to advise people that they have to go outside, round the corner and all queue up by the front door on the main road where they will be escorted to a special Diamond pass signing area on the 3rd floor, it won't be anything to do with us trying to shorten the queues at all....no siree! :whistling:

I don't know what you are whining about, you figured it out quite quickly that it really was just a storage room and came back in time.

Half. An hour. Half a flaming hour I was in there for! All because I was told (told!) I was interviewing a number of guests after I got past the entrance! :angry2: :chair:;)

@Queen_Sindel I know it would be a big job but what do you think about migrating a lot of the posts over into General Chat so anyone who wants advice can read it easily?  When answering Kelsey earlier I realised it's not fair to expect people to read through 44 pages as we have gone well off track.  And I know I've contributed a fair few of those myself.

Many of us guilty to it ... Wouldnt it be easier just to restart. Lock this one and start a new, stricter supervised for newcomer questions and advise from us all.

That or just shift from maybe page 10 over if Queen want's to.  There may be a few questions after that but the majority of them were before so that's probably a safe point.

If not just ignore this :lol:
