Crewing FAQ

Why Crew? Well, you get free entry and one free-meal a day. And of course you get the satisifaction of having helped the convention out. We're always happy to provide references to people who work for us, so it's something extra which you can add to your CV afterward. Crewing is also a very easy way to get to know other members of the con, and there is usually a lot of camaraderie between fellow crew members over the course of the event!

What Kind of Work is it? Usually a crew member will help to manage queues, serve attendees, act as a runner to move equipment/items around and so forth. When you join crew, you are placed on to a team. Each team has a team-leader who you will report in to and who will look after you over the event. Each shift you are given is usually three hours long.

How many hours does a full-crew member do? Each full-crew member does 14 hours over the two days (7 hours a day). This entitles them to free entry in addition to free meal.

How many hours does a part-time crew member do? Some teams will allow for part-time crew. These are crew who work for one day only. Part-Time Crew will get one day of free entry and one free meal.

What Teams are there? Specialist, Video Gaming, Artists Alley, Registrations & Help, Cosplay Organisers, Hall Events, Bar Events and Dealers.


I've already paid my entry, can I get it back if I crew? Provided you do the shifts which are allocated to you, then you will receive the entry money back on the Sunday.

What's this about Friday afternoon and Monday morning Crewing? If you want to help out on the Friday or Monday for setup or take-down, then shifts you do then will count toward the 14 hours. This means you'll be working less on the event days.
