London Film and Comic Con 2012

[iycis]

I'll be in the UK in July to visit my husband who is going to be working in Cambridge for most of the year. We're thinking of going to London Film and Comic Con. What I'd like to know is does it normally sell out and how far in advance should I buy tickets?

How's the costuming scene there? We're thinking of bringing some Harry Potter and Star Wars costumes.

You can buy tickets on the gate but you will have to queue for a while. If you pre order the tickets from showmasters then you can get an early bird ticket and walk straight in. The costuming is pretty good. Lots of folks in costume last year.
Here is a link to the site in case you don't already have it.

If you are not bothered about getting autographs then the queuing is not much of a problem.

I was talking about queuing to get in.

i got there for 915am, i qued for 10 mins before getting in, later on around 11 am the que was seriously long.

for those driving in i'd advise pre booking a parking space below earls court - if you do decide you need to change out of a costume or buy large objects at the show you have tha ability to go out of the court to load up a car and then get back in

it wont sell out - just pay on the door

It's not at Earls Court this year buddy. It's at Olympia because of the Olympics.

Thanks guys. I'll wait to buy the tickets there.

I think we'll take the train and maybe stay somewhere close to the Con so that we can enjoy the weekend in the city. I guess I should find a hotel now and book it before it gets too late.

If anyone is going on Saturday and you see us as Lucius and Bellatrix, please say hello!
