New BANKSY stall, by Skinner on Nov 6, 2018 14:44:49 GMT 1, Just nipped up there at lunch. Bit of a queue but it moved quickly. Was queuing for about 20 mins which for lunch isn’t bad.
They herd you round the queue, give you the poster, mark your wrist with a green pen (which you can lick off easily so quite why they do that I don’t know. The nightclub stamps used to take days to get off. They would have been better), and give you a few walled off hotel postcards and business cards. And pencils if you want.
Is well guarded and managed. One guy behind me got told ‘no you were here earlier. You’ve got one. We’ve only got limited numbers so it’s one per person’ but he still got given one so go figure.
Great to see the wall piece in the flesh but you do feel a bit rushed. Some managed to get a pic by it. Depends on how busy I think.
Is worth going just to see the piece. If you’ve been to the hotel then the additional stuff like postcards etc I presume are what’s out there. Poster is obviously a great bonus but there were many people who were queuing because ‘oh banksy is giving away something apparently’ so many taggers. Which is fair enough I suppose. Who are we to judge?
Don’t know how many posters they’ll have but I guess you should be ok going anytime. Unless they do run out of course.
Not sure if there’ll be any special add-ons or surprises though. I presume they’ll be either none or random ones like when I get home and unfurl my poster to reveal it’s signed.... maybe...
Just go to enjoy. Don’t go to flip.
Oh and dress code? There seems to be none. They checked a couple of people’s badges with ID otherwise I think I could have got away with the speedos and inflatable unicorn.

Oh well, I’ll just have to make do with walking round London wearing my Palestine scarf. That I got given and put on, less than a minute before getting chucked out. No poster for me then. Looks like they are finally cottoning on to the fact that people are only there to grab some Banksy freebies.
Why to make them culpabilizing ? Banksy likes youths, people, or not ?
This is not against Banksy, but a lot on this forum seem to mock the people, and nobody even Banksy has to be surprised of what is happening - or not  ...

Looks like they are finally cottoning on to the fact that people are only there to grab some Banksy freebies. To be fair, we have to resume : Banksy announced on his Instagram ( to lure the fan or passerby, to give importance to the stall, and meet the WOH contingent ) these freebies ! We have to be honest. People are going there, they are queueing, and have not to be treated as thieves, or flippers. Why to make them culpabilizing ? Banksy likes youths, people, or not ?

After queuing up at the stand I was asked why and what I was there for then asked to leave with two security guards marching me out then following me back to the train. Face and Job title didn't fit the criteria and I don't do suits. 😊

No I am not mocking you , but if I was you, I would really upset ! grrrrr !
Banksy asked to play the game, you did it ! You subscribed, as asking, and what do I hear ?! Who asked you to go away ? Security guards ?! The stall ?
Not good at all ! You should write to Banksy !

I think it would be great to set up that a donation to Palestinian cause warrants poster. Like the Ai Weiwei auction - $50 donation gets the poster.

After queuing up at the stand I was asked why and what I was there for then asked to leave with two security guards marching me out then following me back to the train. Face and Job title didn't fit the criteria and I don't do suits. 😊 To be fair, the vast majority of people are going under false pretences, so they can hardly complain when they are asked to leave. This is, after all, a trade fair not a Banksy convention. I don't blame anyone for going along and trying to get some free stuff (good luck to you) but I do question the judgement of Banksy himself who was encouraging people to 'pretend' they are in the travel business and to get in when they shouldn't. If I was the organiser of this trade fair, I would be a bit pissed off by it all. |

Glad I managed to go yesterday. It was pretty quiet on the stall when I went. No more than six people around it, although I had to come back an hour after visiting to get the poster as they were trying not to give out too many at once. Far from the massive crowds there today.
Anyone know how these are printed and what the paper's like? Glossy or Matte? Looks quite like a digital print on matte paper in these pictures. It's on matte paper. Don't know the weight but it's pretty thick for a giveaway poster. No idea on printing method, sorry, but suspect just digital. It's decent printing, though. Glad I managed to go yesterday.
