Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 Updates

 

Hey all, just a little bit of an update post to catch up a few things.

This Thursday Sunday tickets once again sold out, leaving only a limited number of Friday and Monday tickets available (for sold out ticket types you can still go through the Lyte Ticket Exchange).

Badges are currently going out (and they look just as nice in hand!). We still have nearly two weeks to go so if you haven't received yours yet please don't panic. However, if you are travelling and they don't arrive in time it has been confirmed you can simply go to Will Call/Fan Services with your order confirmation and they will be able to issue you with replacement badges so there's no need to worry.


When you do get your badges, badge activation is now live. So you can follow this link to activate them. Again, don't worry if you can't do it until you get there, they don't need to be activated in advance.

Also live now is the official Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 mobile app, which you can download here for Android and iPhone. Whilst Lightspeed Lane reservations are being done online before the show this year, the app will still give you easy access to the panel schedule and show floor maps on the go, plus can send you push notifications ahead of those panels you just don't want to miss.

Speaking of show floor maps, here they are (click for full size versions):



Today I have made sure that everything on this blog is fully up to date, including all the vendor exclusives, pin reveals, and fan events/group photos that we know so far. The schedule spreadsheet is fully updated and all the information from this post has been added to the main preparation page.

We are less than 2 weeks away! This is where things updates tend to come pretty rapidly (like full show store reveals, entry procedures, more exclusives) so I'll do my best to keep up. Can't wait to see you all in London!

This is where the fun begins :o)

Some Early Celebration Europe 2023 Advice

Image
  Over the next few weeks I'm going to start updating this blog with a new 2023 hub and working on new guides for next year. But for those of you who want to get the jump on things I figured I'd do a quick post with the information we do have (and a little on what we can expect to be different from last time Celebration was in London). Next year Star Wars Celebration is returning to London, and to the ExCeL Center where both Celebration Europe 2007 and 2016 were held. This will be the first four day Celebration in Europe and will take place over the Easter weekend from Friday, April 7, to Monday, April 10. Ticket sales haven't been announced yet (hopefully we should see them in the next month or two), so most of this will be focused on hotels and how things ran in 2016. First quick note - ExCeL is card only for their food court/own vendors, so keep that in mind when deciding how much money to change. Here are hotels next to ExCeL London: Whilst the majority of these booked ...

SWAG at Star Wars Celebration Japan

Image
  The SWAG Crew is back and better than ever for Star Wars  Celebration Japan with a new website that is the perfect resource for learning all about SWAG and helping you to create your own. Fan made SWAG (stuff we all get/stuff we all give) is one of the nicest things to receive at Star Wars Celebration. It's different from the official freebies (cool as they are) because you know that this is something that someone has created themselves just to give away to their fellow fans. It's that personal touch that makes the fan SWAG so special. Want to get involved and make your own SWAG? The SWAG Crew Facebook page  is still here with a brilliant community who are more than ready to help you take your first steps into a larger fan world. But for anyone new to SWAG you simply have to check out their new website ! From the history of the SWAG crew to everything you need to know about making your own. There are guidelines, FAQs, links to recommended suppliers who can make your SWA...
