Fan Expo?

[homer]

Hello:

Can someone answer a question re: Fan Expo please? I ordered some deluxe passes online a while ago, and printed out the confirmations? Do I now have to take these to the advance ticket pick-up line to get the actual tickets? It says we can get in at 2 pm, what time does the ticket pickup booth open? Thanks

I went to Fan Expo once and never again. The geeks line up hours maybe overnight before the place opens. Just go in a few hours after the shoow opens to avoid the long line and the big crowds.

I'm not sure how the deluxe passes work, but if you order your tickets online, you have to show and line up to get your actual ticket. Not sure when that opens. There will then, depending on the time, be another line to actually get in the expo. This is not usually that long a wait.

Just a word of caution, if you go too late and the place is filled to capacity (by the fire regulation standards) you will not be able to get in until other people leave. A couple of years ago, people already in the convention left for lunch and then could not get back in.

That's been corrected. I went last year and they split the convention to use both the North and South part of Metro Convention Centre.
