AUTO & PHOTO FAQS
CAN I BUY AUTO & PHOTOTICKETS ON THE DAY?
Provided the opportunity is not sold out then yes, you can pay by cash or card at the guest tables or at the entrance to the photoshoot queue.
​
DO I GET QUEUE PRIORITY FOR HAVING A PHOTO-OP TICKET BEFORE THE EVENT?
Yes, in most cases we ask our staff on the day to give priority to customers with pre-paid Autograph and Photograph tickets. This is especially true with the busier guests, some of will only have time to complete the pre-paid orders.
You can pay on the day for autographs at the guest tables but generally only after 12.00pm.
​
CAN I HAVE SOMEONE WAIT IN THE DIAMOND PASS QUEUE WITH ME?
Only the pass holder will be allowed to get their items signed or their photograph taken, no other person may accompany a Diamond Pass holder in the queue unless they also hold a Diamond Pass. Similarly, while two people are allowed in each photograph for every single ticket, if using the Diamond Pass to queue jump, then both parties MUST have a pass of their own. You can find out more about this on our TICKETS page.
WHO CAN BE IN MY PHOTO?
Each pro photo ticket allows two people into the picture. Infants do not count towards the two people (So you can have two adults and an Infant in a picture for the cost of one photo ticket)
​
VARIOUS EXAMPLES:
A family of four with two adults and two 9-year-olds will need to purchase TWO tickets.
One adult and two children over 5, will need to purchase TWO tickets.
A couple wishing to have a photo-op will only need to purchase ONE ticket.
A 9-year-old WITHOUT an adult in the photo will need to purchase ONE ticket.
A couple and a one-year-old would only need to purchase ONE ticket.
One adult, a 10-year-old, and a 3-year-old would only need ONE ticket.​
WHEN ARE THE PHOTOSHOOT TIMES?
Photoshoot times can be anytime at all during the opening hours of the event. The schedule is released around two weeks prior to the show and will be emailed to all customers who have purchased a ticket. They will also be displayed around the event and will be available to buy on our programme at the event.
Before making final travel plans, please wait for the final schedule to be published.

WHAT TIMES DO GUESTS SIGN AUTOGRAPHS?
Our guests are usually available at signing tables from 9.30am until 5.30pm. Their days are interspersed with other activities such as live Q&A panels on stage, photoshoots, and break times (including lunch). There will be a schedule on the guests table, and at the end of their queue to help you to check times, please note, this is a live event so timings are subject to changes throughout the day.
Guests may arrive late due to their travel schedules so please be aware of this when making your plans and try to be as flexible as possible. Please speak to the staff at their table if you have any concerns or questions about fulfilling your pre ordered tickets.
