I apologize if you have explained all of this already but I would be really grateful for some advice! I have a Gold Pass. I will arrive from Stansted in Kensington around 10:00, then (if I understood that correctly) I'll go across the street and collect my Gold pass wristband, then proceed to Gate H where I will get in pretty much straight away? There are a few Diamond Guests that I would like to get autographs from on Friday - do you think I'll be to late to get VQ tickets for them at around 11:00 am? (Have a photo op right away and won't have time to collect VQ before that) On Saturday I don't want to get any Autographs, just have lots of photo ops. Do you think I Need to be there very early then? I definitely have to come early on Sunday, the info says it's open at 7:30 - I am not sure if that means with a Gold Pass I'm good if I'm there at 7:00 or if I should come earlier. Sorry for asking so many dumb questions, but I'm absolutely terrified while simultaneously nearly exploding with anticipation O.O Yes after collecting your pass you will definitely get in straight away at that time. The Friday VQ’s depend on the guest. You will get a high number yes but that doesn’t mean you won’t get to them that day. Just take a ticket and keep an eye out for how they are progressing On Saturday with a Gold Pass you will get in first and will only need to be in the hall for your first photoshoot so no need to get there ridiculously early. 7.30 is when it opens, people will queue before then so it’s up to you if you want to get there earlier. Theres no such thing as a dumb question. Everyone was a newbie at first. Have a great LFCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 entrances only, one for YALC and H for LFCC. It's specifically explained DP Collection is not an entrance. Oh ok I get what you're saying now, my mistake, I just thought as technically I'm collecting the extra help stuff too I thought it might be all in the one place. Not to worry though! So could I in theory collect the extra help stuff from the YALC entrance, as I'd be walking past that entrance to get to the Diamond Pass collection point?

At that Point everyone will be in and you can walk straight in. 11 AM will be too late I think. Who are you after? If you only have photos on Saturdaybe there in time for your first session, that's it. The Holding Area opens at 7.30. Who do you want to see Sunday? It's really hard to give a Timing advice without knowing who you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really hard to give a Timing advice without knowing who you want to see. On Friday I was hoping to see Billy Dee Williams and/or Zachary Quinto. On Sunday I have more, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton, Jason Momoa, Val Kilmer, Brendan Fraser, Jason Momoa and Finn Jones. Thanks so much for your help, also @Ravogd and @Raylenth!

On Friday you will probably be too late to get those two but you never know. It’s not going to hurt to ask at their line when you do get there.

Check at the lines and if they still Hand out tickets take one and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Okay now I have another question. Is it possible to upgrade from a Photo op to a Diamond pass? And *should* I do that (my bank adviser will hate me), I collect the Diamond pass on friday with my Gold pass - and will I then be able to see Zachary Quinto even when I come in at 11:00?

You Need to contact the online store. I am not sure if they still allow Upgrades at this Point. With A Diamond Pass you will get to meet Zachary on Friday as Long as you get in line before the Autograph line is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading should be possible but you should contact the shop. If your upgrade is successful you will be able to join the queue to see Zachary any time you want after your diamond batch number has been called.

Charmer Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'm not sure if it's been asked (sorry if it has) but in terms of exiting, will we be able to exit through any exit (including the Grand Hall Foyer)? As last year we were only aloud out of the exit we came in at which I don't think I'm the only one who found a bit inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowingwings Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'm really sorry if this has been asked, I have autism and get easily confused. I would like to know as mich information as possible so I don't go into a meltdown on the day. I've applied for Extra help but Im not YALC, I've got a Saturday and Sunday day pass. Do I go to Gate H, this is only my second time doing Extra help. At LFCC Spring, they checked our names off in the queue. I'm hoping to collect my Diamond passes on the Friday (whens the deadline time for that) If they don't check you in the queue, where do you go?

You go to Gate H and there will be an Extra Help point there. You can collect your Diamond on Friday in the place marked on the map in the first post, and collection will run from the open to the close of the event that day.

dreximgirl Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just to double check it says the YALC entrance is the yellow line but then it says to collect the YALC extra help pass at the YALC entrance pink line - which one is correct? Do we need to go to the yellow or pink line for YALC extra help passes? Apologies if I am reading it wrong and have confused myself. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
