lkjhgfdsabbie Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Do you need to pick up entry tickets/photo ops/diamond passes at a Will-Call? Can you pick them up on the Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pick them up on the Thursday? You just print your tickets off at home or show them on your phone, your entry ticket will be scanned as you enter for the first time and your photoshoot as you enter the photo shoot area. The only items you need to collect at the event are any Diamond Passes you have, Sabbie, which will be just inside the entrance if it is like last year (We don't have a floor plan just yet so it's not known if it's in the same place or not this year).

Can you pick them up on the Thursday? You don't need to pick up entry tickets or photo ops. The tickets are the pdf attached to the email that eventbrite send you when you buy them. Either print them off so they can be scanned or have them ready on your phone. I usually take printouts as backups in case of phone failure anyway.

T2ggergal Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 HI, This is my first comic con and now it's coming up i'm starting to panic and i know i probably have no need to!! I have a few questions, I'm doing the photo shoot with Daniel Gillies and Paul Wesley and i'm in Batch 2 on the Sunday. What time should i aim to arrive for? Also, what time will the talk be? I've read about bringing money, deodrant, water etc, but are there any other tips that might be helpful to a first timer? Many thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks :) I suggest you go at the time the photoshoots starts, or maybe 10 minutes in advance. the talk will be announced when the schedule is released. Roughly a week before the event. we will know the timeframes when the schedule is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly a week before the event. we will know the timeframes when the schedule is up. Don't stress T2, with only 2 guests you have a very light schedule. I would actually suggest arriving at Paul's shoot 10/15 minutes after it starts - He's a diamond guest so you will have all the Sunday Diamonds going first, then the Gold pass holders and Batch 1's before you. Daniel probably 5/10 minutes after the start as you will have Golds and Batch 1 in front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2ggergal Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think it'll just be Daniel and Paul, and i think they're both over £25. Getting a VQ will be quite straight forward and easy to find won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you get their fast (without running) so to make sure you don't have number 352 sort of speak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a VQ will be quite straight forward and easy to find won't it? They will release a floor plan (they usually do anyway) nearer the time and you will be able to see where the guests will be located, but not where the guests will be individually, so yes, when you get in go straight to the guest area, find there desks and get a VQ ticket from the crew manning their queue's. Then just keep checking back and you can join the queue once your number is on the board. Remember though that the VQ ticket is just a place in the queue it is not a guarantee of an auto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 If you are getting the photos done early enough batch wise, you could always grab the VQs, get the photos done, and then have the guests sign the photos you had taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read about bringing money, deodrant, water etc, but are there any other tips that might be helpful to a first timer? Many thanks :) If the talk/photo shoot is early in the morning, you may need to arrive at the venue some time before, because there will be a massive queue to get in. If you arrive 1hr or 1/2hr before entry time (9am) you should be OK, as you will have had your ticket and bag checked before the doors open so when they do open you go right in and it's very quick. But if you arrive shortly after 9 you may have to wait in a queue. Maybe someone here has more experience and can be more specific about time-to-get-in? I remember last year, on the Saturday, I arrived around 9:45 and there was a massive queue; I freaked out that it would take ages to get in but I went to the front of the queue and they let me in because I had the 3-day-pass bracelet, however I don't know if that was regular or not and I still think I was just incredibly lucky. Of course if you plan to queue up early in order to get a low number VT everything will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 There's no point stressing about stuff at the moment, wait until the schedule is out and you know what time you need to be there, generally most people arrive around an hour before opening and entry is quite quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 If you have a bracelet because you are attending all Weekend yes, the entry will be really quick after you got your bracelet. Paul will very likely have a split photoshoot anyway, with a second shoot being in the afternoon. As you can go any time after your Batch was called there won't be any issues there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if any question or concern pops up during the event just catch a blue/red shirt with your question(s) and they will help you out. You will get a hang of everything pretty quick. And enjoy the weekend, it is a fantastic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
