Extra Help?

[BartyJnr]

Hey guys, I sent in the extra help form a little while back now for both this convention and London, and as of yet haven’t heard back for either of them. What should I do? 

 

Cheers.

If you don't hear back go and speak to the entry team on the day Barty, that's all I can suggest.  Take any papers you may need and explain to them.

me too, I can only think that once you hand in the entry ticket you'll get an extra help wist band. as Raylenth said bring paper work example DWP or PIP or anything to prove you have a disability. The crew are excellent when it comes to helping out people with disabilities, I've never any problems. Top tip always try and get in early and go to front of desk to get extra help band and when you have photo shoot or autograph tell/show crew member and they'll put you in front, however they normally let diamond passes in first which is fair enough.

Cheers guys, I have early entry for Saturday only anyways, and have had the band every other showmasters con I’ve been to since diagnosis. I take photos of my diagnosis sheets with me as it’s the only thing I have :)

Hope you get it sorted and I assume your message may have just fallen through the cracks

Just a heads up this yeah its all changed! even with a wristband you still need a VQ ticket, and have to line up as normal due to the amount of people scamming SM last year. its all in the extra help thread that's been updated 

Can you direct me to where I can find this please? I’ve tried searching the topics here, general, the faq, and it’s just not showing up for me :/ 

 

And yes, it’s very annoying that people keep scamming the damn help. It makes my life so much easier and less stressful when I’m there. I only use the bypass if I need it but having it makes me feel so much better.

OH. I was being a dumb and looking on the forum. It looks pretty much the same as usual, it was pretty much this at LFCC too, and if the VQ was none existent or low anyways they would just shove me into the queue. Thank you :)
