Attending a fan pen does not guarantee meeting talent. It doesn’t guarantee talent will come out to the pen. And talent being confirmed to attend does not mean a photo or autograph is guaranteed.
Go because you want to be part of it. Hopefully it does go your way, and you get what you’re hoping for, but keep your expectations realistic, and you’ll enjoy it a lot more.
Was it a battle pass exclusive, or is there still a way to unlock it? Not sure if I missed it or if it’s coming back at some point.
Fan pen details are confirmed for The Dog Stars World Premiere.
Date: Thursday 20th August

Wristbands: collection begins at 8 am on Wednesday 19th August at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square entrance. First come, first served until they run out. They won't be numbered, so the time you collect doesn't affect your spot in the pen.

No overnight queuing is permitted. It's forecast to be hot, so bring sun protection, and you can bring your own water into the pen.
Happy to answer what I can in the comments.
quick bit of good news.
more spaces have opened up in the fan pen, so a fresh round of emails is going out now to people who entered. if you weren’t successful first time, keep an eye on your inbox as you might still hear.
check your spam and junk folders too, and remember it’s only those who get a successful email who are in.
if you don’t hear, please still don’t travel down on the day. wristbands are only for people with a successful email, there are no spares or standby, and the carpet isn’t visible from outside the pen.
good luck to everyone still waiting.
Quick update for anyone still waiting to hear.
All ballot emails have now gone out, successful and unsuccessful. The only people who won't have received one are those where the email address entered on the form was invalid, and there were a fair few of those.
So if you've had nothing, check your spam and junk folders first. If there's genuinely nothing there, it most likely means the address entered on the form had a typo or error.
If you weren't successful, please don't travel down on the day. Wristbands are only for people with a successful email, there are no spares and no standby, and none are given out on the day to anyone else. The carpet also isn't visible from outside the pen.
Gutted for everyone who missed out this time.

Submitting the form does not guarantee a spot. Successful entries will be emailed full confirmation details by the end of Friday 24th July. If you have not received an email by then, your entry was unsuccessful on this occasion.
If selected, you collect your wristband(s) from security in Leicester Square at 2:00 PM on the day.

Hey everyone.
I had a proper look through the Reddit today and I genuinely can’t believe it’s been a year. The goal has never changed: helping the real fans get into these events.
I started going to fan pens back in April last year, before there was a Reddit or any pages, and from the start I cared about the people who had absolutely no idea how to get in. Believe me, I had no clue either. I just did my best to make sure people knew a premiere was happening and tried to cover as many events as I could.
I’ve always appreciated everyone commenting, sharing feedback and advice for other fans, even the ones being critical of a premiere, because I know exactly what it feels like to stand in a pen and walk out feeling like you wasted your time. I’m a fan too. I used to get so excited for these films to come out and wanted to support them. Last year a load of us were going mad trying to figure out how to get into the Fantastic Four premiere, and seeing people post their spots on here genuinely made me happy.
Most times I’d even post about premieres I had no intention of going to, just to help some of you out. The community has grown so strong and it means a lot that people now actually know how to get into fan pens.
The autograph hunter thing annoys me as much as it annoys you. I stopped going to pens for a long time because of it. There’s nothing more frustrating than standing in a pen for a film you’ve been excited about for months next to someone who doesn’t even know what the movie is. It’s the one thing that genuinely gets to me, but I try not to let it take away from what these events are really about.
It still feels surreal that a year ago I was the one posting on here asking how to get into a Marvel pen, and now I’m the one sharing that info, trusted by the organisers to do it.It was always a dream of mine to actually attend a premiere, and recently I finally got to. And lately, watching videos from the fan pens, I’ve noticed there aren’t as many autograph hunters anymore, just genuine, respectful fans. That means a lot.
I feel so lucky to be getting the official fan pen and cosplay sign-up info to share with you from several different premiere organisers now, not just one. That trust means everything to me. And honestly, this is just the start of what I want London Premieres to be. In a year’s time I’d love to be doing cast interviews, or covering events on the ground in a bigger way. I want to be more involved as it grows.
I see every post and every comment, and I feel for anyone who couldn’t get a wristband or had a rough time. Pens are unpredictable, and I wish I had the power to make it better. All I can do is keep sharing the official info for the real fans, as accurately and early as I can.
To everyone who sends kind messages, and especially the organisers who trust me with this, thank you. If you’re waiting on info, just hang tight and trust that it’ll be posted here. I’d appreciate it if no one asks about upcoming premiere logistics on this one, I want to keep the post nice and low-key.
Here’s to the next year 🙌
