I think you are right there Darren.

Here the prices for the parking.

"ExCeL London is not located in the Congestion Charge zone.
Parking

ExCeL London offers car parking facilities for 4,000 cars.

Cars & Minibuses

0 - 2hrs - £3 per hour
3 - 5hrs - £9
5 - 9hrs - £12
9 - 15hrs - £15
15 - 24hrs - £21.00 flat fee

Motorcycles

Motorcycle parking is free of charge."

I would bring the bike but I can not carry anything.

So the parking is £15 for how long we expect to be there?

Depending how many can fit in the van (with all their gear as well), that might only mean £3-4 each.

I'd prefer to pay that than the DLR ticket and lugging all the gear on/off the DLR.

Discuss?

If we do have a table I can always bring a facehugger and a Hicks (resin) Shotty to put on it.

Cant lend you any alien goodies to put on a table if you do one because they're all going through various stages of being refurbished so to speak. Later on in the year no problem.

Country: United Kingdom

So what's the deal with the tickets? Don't want to queue all that time and then find out I could have got in for free?

Also, what time are people aiming to get there? And what's the plan for all meeting up? Will you meet before and all go into together or meet up inside?

I'm only asking as I'm trying to work out my timings for Saturday morning as I've got to drop babs off with the grandparents, drive to Watford to drop off the car (staying with friends), and get the train/tube in whilst fighting my way round the engineering works. I seriously can't see myself being there before midday.

Only if you're arriving/travelling home over the weekend and need the section between Canary Wharf and Tower Gateway (like I will on Sunday).

Looks like the best bet is to use the Jubilee Line, as that'll take us from Canning Town (DLR) all the way to London Bridge (east section of Northern Line), Waterloo (Bakerloo and west-Northern Line) and Wesminster (but Circle and District Lines will be closed).

I'll be going home from Waterloo then. :roll:

Edit:

Map showing the main problem of part of the DLR and the entire District and Circle line closures:

Go the same route I am.

I'm sure Charing Cross trains (which stop at Waterloo East) stop at Strood.

Edit: Just checked trainline.com and they run every half an hour to Strood from Waterloo East. So you'll need to get on the Jubilee line from Canning Town and then get on the same train as I am at Waterloo East.

Edit 2: I'll probably just get a 3 day Travelcard, to save time having to queue for tickets every day.
