Hermione Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Does anyone think picking up the tickets will be a problem if the only ID I have is a passport that went out of date 3 months ago? I'm kind of reeeeaaaally worried about it (if I get tickets of course!).
Bubbles. Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Oh yeah... that's a bit weird considering that SB has a bar... I assume they will just ask people to present ID before going in and get their hand stamped or something if they wanna buy alcohol
Undómiel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The train back doubles in price tomorrow too :/ What are you going to do? I can get a coach from £14.50 and gets to London at 14.50pm

Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Just to give people an idea of tomorrow morning, the store to buy the idiot club membership has gone down already...

I'm kind of reeeeaaaally worried about it (if I get tickets of course!). It should be okay... what do you use if you get ID'd buying alcohol?
Hermione Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Some places accept like a council tax bill or something - maybe you could ring the venue and ask? Ah I don't have any bills, but obviously I'll have the card I paid on and the picture and details on my passport is still me . Shit.
Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 What are you going to do? I can get a coach from £14.50 and gets to London at 14.50pm When I've spoke to my friend later I'll book it tonight I think to keep cost down, just the train back anyway cause the train there stays the same. I don't think I'd be able to get there till about 5pm but I don't mind, I know I'm probably gonna be right at the back. It'd mean I can actual use the toilet and the bar for once, haha.
Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 What are you going to do? I can get a coach from £14.50 and gets to London at 14.50pm Ill be doing the same thing, coaching it up, im really stuck for time on thursday, but should pull through

You're going to book tonight? But what if you don't get a ticket? Ill be doing the same thing, coaching it up, im really stuck for time on thursday, but should pull through I am feeling physically sick about the work thing.
Hermione Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It should be okay... what do you use if you get ID'd buying alcohol? It's been fine so far but I know some places won't accept it. Really don't know what to do now.
Undómiel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It's been fine so far but I know some places won't accept it. Really don't know what to do now. Don't panic. I'm sure they won't mind that it's out of date.
Isabel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Who's getting a coach? Mine gets into London at 2:50 as well
Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 You're going to book tonight? But what if you don't get a ticket? The ticket is twenty something quid if I book it tonight but goes up to fifty tomorrow, if I don't get a ticket I'll just lose my money. I've got £16 on an evoucher, so it'd only reaaaally be like losing a tenner in real money Atleast that's what I'll tell myself.
Hermione Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Don't panic. I'm sure they won't mind that it's out of date. It's just bad because my sister would be depending on me to get her ticket too. She says she thinks it'll be fine and doesn't mind taking the risk though, so I suppose I will.

Martyn Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Ah I don't have any bills, but obviously I'll have the card I paid on and the picture and details on my passport is still me . Shit. Should be fine. Bare in mind that this is done just to combat touting so confirmation email + credit card are definitely needed, any form of id should be fine. Cos who's gonna end up with an ID with your name/their photo, a confirmation email sent to you AND your credit card? It will all be fine
Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It's been fine so far but I know some places won't accept it. Really don't know what to do now. I'm sure it'll be fine, they'll just want to see that your face matches up with your name, they probably won't look at the expiry date or care that it's out of date.
Tashidge Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Does anyone think picking up the tickets will be a problem if the only ID I have is a passport that went out of date 3 months ago? I'm kind of reeeeaaaally worried about it (if I get tickets of course!). As long as people can see that the person in the photo is still you, then it won't be an issue. It if was 6 months out of date, you won't be able to use it.
Mary711 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Do you think I should try get the day of work now (as in walk to work and beg various people) and then see whether I can get a ticket... or should I get the ticket and then beg people? I'd ask at work first and then get the ticket. Imagine the situation of you having a ticket and not being able to go because of work then.
Undómiel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I need to go do some housework but I'm to busy fretting about fucking work. URGH.
Hermione Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Should be fine.

I don't really have any other choice so I'll just try not to worry and hope it's not some total jobsworth as the ticket office lol. If I can even buy a ticket that is
WestboundSign! Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Good luck everyone! I really hope a lot of GDCers get to go
Undómiel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Is anyone going to try and get two to give to a GDCer in case they don't get one?
Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I wonder if this nervous, sicky, butterfly-ey feeling is actually gonna disappear anytime soon or if I'm stuck with it for the night.
