    So I wasn't sure if would make it to Celebration this time round due to holiday from work, and having a job to do that evening. But I thought; 'ahh screw it, when does Celebration come to London' (I live 30mins from Central London).

    Booked the day off today and getting a Friday ticket! Excited is an understatement!

    Do guys know what we can expect for the Friday?

    You guys have no idea how frustrated I am for not realising the celebration tickets were out sooner than I did. London is just one and a half hours of by plane from my country (Greece) and I have both the money and the time to go... And when I went to book, the tickets were sold out.

    :(:(:(

    I hope next year they'll go somewhere in Asia, since China is my working country.

    That's a bummer. And, I am sorry to tell you that next year the Celebration is in Orlando. If you are aiming for Celebration Europe, 2018 seems to be your year. But, follow closely the news and this part of the forum - that way you won't miss it next time. As soon as announcement is made, tickets go on sale. They are already selling tickets for the next year. So when Orlando approaches, they will announce the next European destination. Pounce on it immediately.

    Come to London for the weekend! You can still get tickets for the Friday and Sunday (Saturday is sold out). On the Saturday just go and do touristy things around the City. :)

    Can't believe I posted this thread 14 months ago, and now it's just 14 days left.

    Are any Cantina members meeting up at SWCE?

    I recall a thread from months ago where a couple of us mentioned we were going, but I can't find it now - would be good to have some sort of Cantina meet-up and 'team photo'.

    Why is this thing still called Star Wars Celebration EUROPE? We left the EU! Please rename it Star Wars Celebration UK instead.
    Also, If there was a Star Wars Celebration in the country of Tunisia, it wouldn't be called "Star Wars Celebration AFRICA" would it? Or in Sydney - Star Wars Celebration Oceania? Or Tokyo - Star Wars Celebration Asia? No. ;)

    how much time do you guys think we'll have to wait to get into the panels? I know I'll have to sacrifice some to see the others but I'd also love to just walk around and see the costumes, displays... I'm afraid I'll be in line all day and don't have the time to walk around

    Hi! To get into the Celebration Stage (also referred to the main stage) Panel's you will need to get a Specific Panel Wristband. These Wristbands are free but they are limited. The Wristbands will be given out at 6AM everyday and they will only be available for the specific event that you queue up for.

    Once you have your wristband for the main stage you can choose when you want to queue up for the actual stage - this will only determine how near the front you will sit. But if you have a wristband for the main stage, you are guaranteed a seat at the main stage - it may not be a 'good' seat but it'll still be a seat. So technically you can turn up a minute beforehand and get in.

    For example, I will be getting to ExCel for about 4AM to queue for the Rogue One Panel wristband. This is a system that definitely favours those who will stay up all night for the wristbands but it means that there will be less queuing during the day. :)

    As for the other panels outside of the Celebration Stage (main stage), you do not need a Wristband and it is purely first come first serve.

    I've tried to explain the best I can but let me know if you got anymore questions. :)

    Looking over the schedule, I'm only interested in the RO panel and future film panel. Thankfully both will seemingly be streamed.

    Absolutely. I think this convention will run more smoothly than people think. :)
