InsO Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) 1. At the diamond talk as you go first if your partner has a standard ticket, can you hold a sit for them so you can seat together? I see how it would be unfair on diamond and gold pass holders if everyone held a seat but at the same time it would be somewhat unpleasant if you and your significant other are separated because he/she is not a big enough fan to purchase a diamond pass. 2. As a huge Peter Capaldi fan, would love him to sign all 3 of my Doctor Who posters. Is that possible to buy 2-3 more autographs on top of the Diamond pass or is there a limit one per person please? I might be imagining this but thought it said guaranteed extra autograph when I purchased the pass but the text has gone now. Apologies if these have been answered elsewhere, did a search but could not find anything relevant other than traders buying insane amounts of autographs with diamond passes in previous years. Ta for the answers in advance! Edited July 20, 2018 by InsO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) 1. Yes, see here: 2. If you wanted to sit together, you would have to sit further back with the standard ticket holders, they could not join you in the diamond/gold area. 3. You can purchase up to 5 autos at one time. You should have a read of the FAQ thread where a lot of this is covered Edited July 20, 2018 by Wrong Name 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 1. whenever you want Inso, on Thursday or the days you are attending. Not sure what you mean, the guests are usually there for opening and if they don't have a photo or talk first thing they will go to their auto table. 2. No. If you want to sit together you will have to sit in standard seating with him. That's unfair to everyone else with standard tickets otherwise Think about how many extra people would be up front if every diamond pass holder did that 3.You can buy 5 auto's at a time, so on top of the one included in your pass you can buy 4 extra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorgris Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hey folks, About the extra autos - I’ve seen it said a few times that you can buy up to 5 extra, but the listing in the Eventbrite shop states otherwise: “The guaranteed option to buy up to 1 extra autographs if wanted” I only wanted 1 myself but I wouldn’t want anyone to be disappointed on the day.

How many autos you get to buy can be limited to a lower number because of different reasons, but this does not happen often. Some diamond passes have stated there is a guaranteed option to buy x extra autos, so with them you are guaranteed the option to buy x extra autos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There's only 1 guest so far with a lower than normal extra guarantee and that's Meatloaf at 1 extra. Everyone else should be normal rules. But note it's 5, so the one included in your pass and 4 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know though, the Capaldi listing on Eventbrite does have the same lower than normal extra guarantee as Meatloaf’s listing. An error, I’m guessing?

Possibly, or they have added it in so they can cut it if needed if they need to speed the queue up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerj Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Sorry Just read this on a different thread - can a mod confirm this please "If you have a Gold Pass and Diamond passes - you should go to the Gold Pass entrance and your Diamond Passes will be held with your Gold passes. You do not need to go to both places." This is going to make it a bit easier as I have gold pass to pick up on Friday and some Diamond passes.

Beepages Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Question: my son and I both have Peter Capaldi Diamond passes and we’re both planning on going to his talk. Unfortunately, I see on the schedule that it clashes with his photo op with Isaac Hempstead-Wright. Can I save him a seat so he can join me later when he has finished taking his photo? Also, we are traveling from abroad and we may have trouble with the cell phone reception at the venue. I am afraid of how difficult it will be if we get separated. Can I accompany him to his other photo ops and stand on the side or do I plan ahead to meet him at some pre-established point? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how old he is Bee, if he's young then yes you can, if he's old enough to be on his own (Ie over 15/16) and you aren't accompanying him in a carer capacity then you won't be allowed into the booth without a ticket, you can wait for him near the exit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepages Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks for the reply @Raylenth. Can he get in to the talk with his Diamond pass even if the talk has started? He was looking forward to that. And on the day, we will pick a meet up spot if we get separated. We are looking forward to the event and it will be his first trip to London!

Late comers are admitted to talks Bee, there won't be any issue with that, but he will just have to find any available free seat. You will have a good time, the best thing to do when you get in is have a look around the venue so you are familiar with the layout then you can pick a meeting place you are both comfortable finding again. There's often lots of movie cars dotted around the venue so they make a good meeting place as they are instantly recognisable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irdamajere Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 On the topic of diamond passes so I don't start a whole new thread, do lanyards come with the passes or do I need to bring my own? Maybe a silly question but it's my first time buying a DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be better off bringing your own lanyard. 15 minutes ago, The Friendly Dalek said: The pass itself is a lanyard with an image of the guest and your pass number on it. A lanyard it the strap part that you hang round your neck. The pass itself is a plastic laminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
