Anyone going to the HMV signing on 8th September? - Page 5

Adje · 05 Sep 2016, 18:18

Just a reminder to you all. Just 3 more days before eBay is going to be flooded with signed Meat Loaf CD's for just 100,-- or more!

Just had event reminder email from HMV, doors open at 5pm, signing at 6pm

Danny L · 05 Sep 2016, 19:41

That's weird I haven't had a reminder email, i'll arrive in London by half 3 so gives me time to explore, also I worked out the location of hte Sanctum Soho Hotel, not far at all for the exhibit

nor I. how irritating.

Danny L · 05 Sep 2016, 21:10

Maybe it's because when we bought we didn't create an account - checked out as a guest?

welshman1976 · 05 Sep 2016, 21:19

Danny, I forgot my account details, so bought it as guest. Had the reminder email late this afternoon

Danny L · 05 Sep 2016, 21:37

Well I have my confirmation email on paper so should be ok

People on here im sure know how it works?

Danny L · 06 Sep 2016, 14:52

When I get off the tube I think Ill run in and ask a shop Asst to make sure

CarylB · 06 Sep 2016, 15:13

I think they just use that expression to make it clear they'd expect you to be there at 5. Last time the queue went from the front door and snaked round an alley at the back, but the only ones taken through a side door were those with priority tickets (which they didn't offer this time). Might even be to try and ensure people don't star queuing too soon, as that can make the police in Oxford Street twitchy.

Last time few in the store knew much about the arrangements as HMV sent a goon from their PR department with all the gentle manners of a stormtrooper, accompanied by a security force just short of being armed with weapons to manage it

Dick · 06 Sep 2016, 15:36

So whats the plan for Thursday?

Is anyone meeting up before hand?

Its a different HMV to the last one, as the last one is now a sports direct.

Dick · 07 Sep 2016, 19:06

i still aint got anything. will have to look back through emails and send it to myself

madonna123968848 · 07 Sep 2016, 19:16

I haven't had a confirmation email either but I have the original order that they confirmed was enough, so will be fine I am sure, must not forget to take ID apparently, just in case! I am now going on my own as my friend can't make it, I wonder if we will be allowed to take a photo? if so, I am hoping someone kind in the queue will do this for me as I will be Billy no mates

Someone will help, just ask them. Everyone is usually a friendly bunch at these things.

Just a tip when they don't allow pictures (which is very likely). Ask the person behind you in line if he/she wants to make a picture when you are at Meat's desk. You can look back in the camera and you have your picture that way

Thanks Adje, good idea!
