So you can go off and enjoy the rest of the event whilst you are waiting. I'd be seriously surprised if VQs weren't issued over the rest of the weekend, but it would be extremely useful if someone who is already at the event has a word with a pit boss and discusses the issue with them now.

charliechuck71 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 so hes been on VQ ticket all morning? why a 4-5 hour wait then? i knew my idea would be popular!!! i created the guest suggestion before the new halloween movie was announced, then all of a sudden good old showmasters booked him! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 According to my info Nick was on VQ all day. The issue is he is a very slow signer and people had to wait for their VQ numbers to be called for such a long time. I am messaging people at the venue. But I really can't proise when/if I get responses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechuck71 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 i guess it's because Nick is such a nice guy he's spending a few minutes with each person, and this is what is taking the time up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDonovan Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I got there in the end - was very pleased to meet him, because Last Starfighter was an extremely important film to me as a kid. It was worth the wait. So first of all, yes of course he's on a VQ system - when I said there was a long wait, I didn't mean standing in a queue! Showmasters are generally very good at organization, and this is no exception. Secondly, I think the reason why the wait is so long is twofold. First, he spends in general a fair time with each person, talking, and connecting. And that's a good thing. But second, he's rather more popular than I think SM anticipated. my unscientific theory is that about 95% of his queue wants to meet him for Halloween, and with the new sequel out, I guess his name is big again. TLDR - If you're looking to meet him tomorrow, I would strongly recommend getting there as quickly as you possibly can to get your VQ ticket. I'm sure it will be 10x as busy tomorrow! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't happen as you're not allowed to film during talks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 3 hours ago, charliechuck71 said: so a gold pass entiltles you to the front of the Q for any/all guests? and why would you buy a gold pass if your only going for 1 guest? which in my case is Nick castle, so basically to guarantee you have to pay through the nose? Gold passes do not go to the front. They can join the back of any non diamond guest without a VQ. They do not have priority 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golds and late arriving Diamonds should just go on the back but some crew may slot them in further down. But they don't all automatically go to the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yeah I think a late Diamond was slotted in behind me while waiting for Ray Park... but it's very much the exception not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
