Starbuck73 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Had some great reports for pass pick-up yesterday too, so far so good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneLee Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 See i had complete different view as i was picking up my gold pass today there was a back log getting in if you didnt have your pass already, so even though at venue by 9 wasnt in the building until 10 past 10. The issue was queue was backed up with diamond pass pick up so held everyone up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I have reported the delay, unfortunately that is all I can do seeing neither StuartG nor I are at the venue. Unfortunately SM can't stop people from lining up early, and it seems some did get in line really early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllaBlair Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I arrived at 12 and had no problems whatsoever. Even had a very nice security guard help me with my suitcase and getting it to the cloakroom. Wish I had caught his name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibble Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I joined the queue at about 9.40am today and I finally got inside Olympia at 10.15am, so it wasn't too long to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Everything went very well for me today and am impressed with the way it all went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaciouspirit Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I know there will probably be a dedicated thread for this, but the guy running photo area a has been great all day. Really clear, really honest and has managed a few delays really well Edited July 27, 2018 by tenaciouspirit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDeTemps Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I walked in easy at 10.45 and impressed by the through bag search (usually i get a glance and waved past) although what weapon in could possibly be carrying in my tiny purse I don't know. Lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I heard a couple of grumbles about dealers taking 30+ items at a time to get signed and having them all done in one go, but most of the staff on the desks were trying to limit it to five at a time at least, which is to be applauded.

Not all diamond passes were there and had to go all the way round to collect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Had a brilliant day yesterday, crew were all so friendly and helpful, added to the fab atmosphere :) here's to a great day 2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmoriarty Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Also need to add my thanks to (and my apologies for not catching their names): the girl running the extra help entrance yesterday morning. Made it run like clockwork, reassured us all the way through and made sure our entrance was in an orderly and fair manner (unlike the reports from last year) the guy running photo A queue. Had his work cut out for him right from the off with Meatloaf starting 10 minutes late and then over running. I think his honesty and humour was appreciated by everyone waiting around there, especially when there was a further issue later on in the afternoon with the camera delaying the Tom Welling/John Schneider session quite significantly too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver187 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Again brilliant gold entry in 13 minutes before 9am Nice and calm walk to photo area B SM might have finally cracked the entry problems from other years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartDT Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 They did well uestersay but not today. Queueing system shocking today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 A couple of people I was queueing with during the event yesterday for autographs (so not prior to opening here) said it was quieter than usual for a Friday. May have had an influence on the civility and consideration levels heh. I’ve only ever done one Saturday at a Showmasters event, and it put me right off doing one again, for reasons such as that. Hence my comment about Battle VQ yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartDT Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have a shoot at 12.10 no other pm shoot. I have my pass already for entry band but still been in this queie for ages. I better not miss my shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What line has issues, what possible clash are you facing etc. Posting those general complaints does not accomplish anything besides scaring new attendees, as proved yesterday when the Meat Loaf line had issues and people came on here claiming "virtual queueing has been completely abandoned." If you have something clashing or possibly clash talk to crew of the shoot/line you are in. They have infos on possible delays which I don't have, and they can give way better advice than me beng several hundred miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck73 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Waiting to see the usual comments from the usual people on how badly LFCC was run today. Under the circumstances (last minute cancellations, photo changes, delays etc) I’d like to publicly applaud Showmasters for doing a damn good job! Hope everything goes well for the rest of the weekend! xxx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksta Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 People will always pick up on the negatives. It is a complicated event and some elements are outside Showmasters control. In the round, I think they do a really good job. The guy marshalling the Paige Turco queue on Friday was really good. She was late arriving but he kept everybody informed, calm and in good spirits, fanning us down with some paper and offering us mints. Top bloke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Another brilliant day, cannot praise the crew enough they were friendly, helpful, and everything felt very organised and under control :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
