REL1203 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Please excuse the newb question, but this is my first LFCC so I am not exactly sure of the process. I have a 3Day Gold Pass. I generally only care about getting a few of the bigger name Autographs, and less about getting pictures, so I keep going back and forth on getting Diamond Passes for some of the stars I care most about (again, mostly for their sig) since you are guaranteed a Sig with the diamond. I know with my gold pass, I can basically join whatever Queue is currently formed for the guest for their Sig and skip the entire VQ part. If I really just want to guarantee a Sig, should having the Gold Pass be enough? Curious what you Vet's of previous LFCC have to say about the benefits of the Gold Pass... Specially looking at Duchovny, Momoa and Neill. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Even with the gold pass, you still need a vq ticket for any guests who have a diamond pass, so the gold will not help you with the guests you’ve mentioned. As you get in earlier there is a good chance to get lower vq ticket numbers, but if you want to be sure you’ll get the auto, the diamond pass is the way to go.

REL1203 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 OK, so yeah I totally missed the part in the fine print with the VQ still being needed for those Diamond Guest... Guess I need to go buy them... This definitely raises the question now to me if the Gold Pass was worth it, I guess it should be for all the non-gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think gold can be worth it if you have a load of photos and a load of non diamond autos to get, but I agree it is not as useful for diamond guests. This is the first year I have not bought a gold pass since 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REL1203 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 OK, so I just got 3 diamond passes (Duchovny, Rory McCann, and Sam Neill)... I am obviously just a little under-educated on how my Gold Pass works with the Diamond Passes.. So now that I have my DP for those 3 people, does my Gold Pass help in any additional way? Anything else that can make things go a little faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else that can make things go a little faster? Not with the diamond guests, no. Having the diamond passes is about the best you can do. The fastest way through autos and photos is to have a low numbered diamond pass (as they will be called in groups starting with the lowest numbers) but that means you would have needed to buy them ASAP after they were released, so you have done all you can do at this point. Essentially, the diamond pass trumps the gold pass for those particular guests. Edited July 22, 2018 by Wrong Name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Gold pass in theory means slightly earlier entry to the event, so you have a better chance to grab low VQ numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REL1203 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 So if I don't buy a Momoa DP, and on Friday/Sat/Sun, i book it to get the lowest VQ ticket I can, do I stand a chance to actually get the autograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't book VQ's. You go and collect one when you get in and wait for your number to be called, but they are only a place in the queue, not a guarantee of getting an auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt mean "Book" it as in make a reservation or advanced purchase.... Since the Gold Pass Members get in 5min early, if I run to get my VQ ticket for Momoa, do you all think i would have a chance to get it, or would he be one of those guest that its unlikely to actually get to his VQ line?

If you run you will be soundly told off by the crew. DO NOT RUN, all you do is risk knocking someone over, and if the crew see you running you may even risk being held back for VQ's for those who didn't run We can't predict if VQ holders will be seen with any certainty Rel, I imagine he will see some, but it's not certain nor will we know how many. To be honest if you aren't buying the Diamond, as long as you go and get your VQ as soon as you get in you will either get it or you won't, we can't say more than that Edited July 22, 2018 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee that he will make it to VQs, but having a gold pass does give you an advantage in terms of getting a low number (and also, running isn't allowed in the building ).
