Pin trading night... is this doable?

[rhysd2]

Hi all

So we are in DLP from the 24th to the 28th of Jan. The pin trading night is the 28th which is the same night we leave. It starts at 6pm. Our flight leaves CDG airport at 9:50pm. I know we're supposed to be there 2 hours(ish) before and it'll probably take 45mins to an hour to get to the airport(I think?).

Now that means we need to leave around 6:50pm ish(if I've got my times wrong please tell me!). Does this leave me enough time to queue up and get the special badges released for the night? I've been itching to go to one for ages but dont want to miss my flight lol. And if it does leave me enough time how do they work? is it a case of line up, get a voucher, pay as you go in for the badges, then leave?

thanks in advance.

Rhys the pin addict.

You might be cuting it fine. Some times depending on how many people attend they organise some fun and games first and then issue the pins later in the evening.

Other times if it is quite they release the pins stright away.

hrmm how much later do they do it? and when they give out the pins is it a case of line up with the voucher? or is it organised differently?

The local pin traders start to q at 4pm for the pins, we useally get there about 5 to 5.15 and have never got our pins before 7pm.
You really would have to be there very early to be in with a chance of making it.
