fanowaty Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi, I thought I'd start a topic for YALC as I think there is no topics devoted to this part of LFCC. I would like to ask a couple questions, one might have been asked before, so sorry for that. 1. Does anyone know why only 19 guests were put on the website (while 20 announced on YALC Facebook and Twitter)? Cecilia Vinesse is missing - does that mean that she already cancelled or is there just an issue with posting her on http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com? 2. I saw there are 2 types of Three-day passes. A standard one and a YALC one. What are the differences between them? If I buy a standart one, not the YALC one, will I still be able to go to the floor where YALC is located and take part in all things going on/meet authors? Thanks for everyone who can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 1) I guess they just missed adding her. 2) There are LFCC passes and YALC passes. You can do both area's with both tickets but there is a time exclusion. You can't get into LFCC with a YALC ticket until an hour after opening and vice versa but after that you can come and go in both area's as you please - that's the general set up anyway, I'll check the specifics. It's to prevent anyone taking advantage - in previous years some people bought YALC tickets to try and get a jump on getting into LFCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Yup, an hour, this is Friday's YALC t&c's - (Please note that YALC ticket holders will not be able to access the rest of the show until 11.00am). YALC has a separate entrance queue/door as well I think. Edited April 3, 2018 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 And to add: yes, Cecilia was accidentally missed. It will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot I'll then stick to the LFCC one I think and go to YALC area later in the day, without any pressure Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewillow Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I can't find the list of YALC authors on the LFCC website. Can you provide a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdamoni Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've never been to YALC before Been curious for some years now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewillow Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I don't spend much time there either; most of the authors I've never heard of. But sometimes they have an author that I know and interests me. Like last year they had Joanne Harris (one of the highlights for me, as she is one of my favourite authors!) and 2 years before that they had Judy Blume.

You go to this website: http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com Then scroll down a bit. In the left column you will find "Authors".

whitewillow Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Ah ha! Thanks, I was looking to find them through the top menu, that's why I couldn't find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groge511 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 How does it work with signings? Are they free or do you pay? Do you have to buy a book from them to get it signed? Can I bring my own book to get signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I bring my own book to get signed? IIRC they are free. I can't remember much else, except that I think that the authors only sign for set hours of the day which will be announced when the schedule goes up. I think you can get other things signed but obviously don't take the Michael. Maybe someone who has been to it can elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yes, free (unless otherwise announced) and at least the signing someone kindly got my book signed for me you could bring your own book. But as Raylenth said, please don't show up with 20 books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Whenever I’ve got stuff signed it’s been free. But I always feel bad so buy the book on the day haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchthesky Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It’s usually just on a different floor so stairs or lift up/down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just wondering. Haven't figured out how to get up to it on previous cons, so don't know how to get there XD will have to go on an adventure of discovery if I have available time at this con and see if I can find it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same area on the ground floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 So usual warning, yada yada yada, may not be the same this year and so on but you can see you can get the lifts/stairs against the exterior wall of the Guest area, or there's stairs the other side and one lift that links up with the ground floor as well in the other hall by the Batman display.

The problem is that all the stairways in the auto area that I have located had security people, which in my mind = "You shall not pass" (Insert Gandalf gif or image here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I definitely used them OK last year, the cloak room on the YALC floor was the ONLY one we could find open in the entire place on Saturday last year so we did end up there with no issues.
