Flint2979 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 As the title says this is my first Con. It's fair to say I'm a bit nervous . I would like to ask some questions if someone can help that would be appreciated. 1. I'm meeting 12 people (Photo Shoots) 6 Saturday, 6 Sunday. How does this normally work? Do I get a list of times I see them? What happens if times clash? 2. I understand at the shoots you can't get autographs. Do you queue separately for this? 3. Now this may seem an odd question. What do people normally wear for these events? I would like to dress up but lacking ideas Thanks for any help you can offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecter Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Also I have a question: Since I do not miss much I wanted to have clarification, this is the first time and I think the last, considering that I live in Italy and I take advantage to see both London and this convention. At the moment I have 5 guests that I will take with them the picture, I printed by Eventbrite the tickets, the day on which I participate must bring these printed sheets and go in a cash desk and they turn them into coupons or other? I admit not to know English perfectly my mother tongue is Italian, the team of LFCC speaks someone in Italian or only English? If I have problems in making me understand if there are for example two pictures at the same time of guests and I can not explain well? Help me You,please.

A schedule will be released (and probably updated a couple of times) in the week before the show. If you have any overlaps it's usually pretty easy, the basic rule is go to the one that finishes first. If you are unsure once the schedule is released, post in the thread and we'll offer you some advice. 2. Yes, you need to queue for autos separately. Have you read up about Virtual Queue tickets? 3. Anything you like. Bear in mind it is likely to be anywhere from hot to really blooming hot. 12 minutes ago, Lecter said: Also I have a question: Since I do not miss much I wanted to have clarification, this is the first time and I think the last, considering that I live in Italy and I take advantage to see both London and this convention.

Just bring the printed tickets and they will be scanned as you enter the photoshoot area. You can also have them stored on your phone. There is no need to have anything exchanged into coupons (I'm assuming you haven't bought a Diamond Pass for anybody). The helpers are busy, but they should be happy to try to work through any language communication issues. You could always get a translation app on your phone to help you out a bit. You should both have a read of the 'New Attendees Advice Thread', especially the first few pages. Any more questions, feel free to ask in there and someone will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to dress up but lacking ideas As nate said, it will be hot inside so wear something light. Many people wear a geeky T-shirt so if you have one celebrating your favourite fandom, now is the time to put it on. You may also want to cosplay as a character from your favourite fandom (just keep in mind that it will be hot and there will be a lot of walking around, so you might want to choose something comfortable). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Gold Pass. So from what I understand I can join any Queue without a VT? Is that for Autographs and Photo Shoots?

Is that for Autographs and Photo Shoots? Thanks for the advice everyone No. You can join any Non Diamond guest queue without a VQ. Even with a Gold you will need to get a VQ for any Diamond Guests you want to meet that you don't have a Diamond pass for. For photoshoots Golds get called first irrespective of the batch you have, but if it's a diamond guest shoot you will be called second after all the Diamond pass holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
