How does the gil system work?

What is Mognet Central?

Is food and drink available?
Yes. Food and drink options are available throughout the venue and at the station.
GUEST INFORMATION & AUTOGRAPHS
How do autographs work?
Autographs require either a Kupon or an Autograph Bundle. Autograph sessions are schedule-based and capacity-limited. Autographs are not guaranteed without the appropriate access.
What are Autograph Bundles?
Autograph Bundles allow you to collect multiple autographs in one easy session. Bundles are limited and not all guests appear in all bundles. Availability is shown clearly in the ticket portal. Bundles do not override guest schedules, breaks, or availability.
Can I buy autographs on the day?
Autographs may be purchased on the day if Kupons or Autograph Bundles remain available. There is no guarantee of availability onsite, though if guest schedules allow, there may be a free-for-all session where a bundle or Kupon isn’t required. Please note that this session may have longer wait times.
Can I give gifts to guests?
Yes, but please avoid consumable items. Gifts or letters should be dropped off at Mognet Central. Please be mindful that some guests may be traveling from overseas and might have limited luggage space. Guests may decline gifts at their discretion.
SATURDAY EVENING EVENT
Is the Saturday evening event included?
No. Entrance to the Saturday evening event (Pomtins Holiday Party) requires a separate ticket purchase.
What is the age restriction?
The Saturday evening event is strictly 18+. No exceptions.
When does the evening event take place?
Evening registration will begin at 19:30 in the ballroom lobby. The doors to the ballroom open at 20:00. At 20:30, the All-Star Gil or No Gil will commence. Arrive early for the full experience. Late arrival may result in missing part of the programme.
Will there be a bar?
Yes. A bar service with themed drinks will be available.
What should I wear?
While the theme is optional. It is encouraged. Think classic British holiday camp energy. Loud, unapologetic, and just a little bit tacky in the best way. Bold printed shirts, Hawaiian or floral patterns, polos with popped collars, shell suits, track jackets, shorts that are slightly too short, white socks with sandals or trainers, bucket hats, flat caps, bum bags, fake gold chains, and oversized sunglasses are all very on theme. Sundresses with bright patterns, playsuits, high waisted shorts, crop tops, neon or retro tracksuits, denim skirts, chunky sandals, big hoop earrings, scrunchies, bold makeup, and oversized sunglasses fit perfectly too. Accessories like plastic pint cups, resort wristbands, novelty name badges, beach towels worn as capes, and inflatable props are encouraged.
If it looks like something you would wear to the clubhouse after bingo, karaoke, or losing a fiver in the arcade, you are doing it right.
COMMUNITY DAY
Is Community Day included with my ticket?
Yes. Community Day access is included with all main event tickets. Please note there are no single day passes.
What are the Community Day hours?
Doors open at 10:00am, with the event closing at 4:00pm. All attendees must vacate the show floor by the posted closing time.
Are there competitions on Community Day?
