AndryPresh Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I hope everything is alright with Claudia's family. But I agree with everyone else, why not give Amanda her own talk? She'll be more than capable to fill a room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire316 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Out of curiosity just, why no exchange.. its £50 per head that would be going back into the show?? I assume most attending would swap for vouchers/photoshoots?? I'm assuming they don't want added people joining what will already be long queues at the show. Then why not do it now instead of waiting till after the show? At least that way people have the option to get a replacement item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmcburnie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Agreed, mad not to do a solo Amanda talk in that slot. She'll get the numbers very easily. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why can't Amanda just do the talk by herself. I bet 80-90% of people would still go to the Amanda talk, and then refund the people who don't want to go.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have someone do all the refunds the night before the show starts? Really not feasible either unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is not already there then she will probably be on her way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catavich Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Not to bring it up again because I know you guys must be busy and the last thing you need is a bunch of people panicking and asking all these questions... I understand about the refunds, it wouldn't be close to realistic to get them before the show, but what about exchanges? Or maybe even giving out vouchers for partial exchanges (e.g. If people just wanted a photo with Amanda now, not a joint one) or full refunds if that's what people would rather? Those people were already going to be going to the sales desk for an exchange anyway, so hopefully it wouldn't add that much moretraffic to it? A girl can hope anyway. Again, I'm really sorry to pester Edited July 4, 2013 by Catavich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire316 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I queued on the day to get a refund for my Red Dwarf group photoshoot, so don't see how it's different to queueing on the day for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonniesrg Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Hope everything is O.K. with Claudia' family. I will just catch her again in future. I really hope Amanda get's to do another talk. I would pay the £20 for her alone. Edited July 4, 2013 by bonniesrg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGraph Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I wish her and family well, was excited to see her added this week as I was pleased to see another video game voice added mainly for Gears of War 3 hope to see her added again for next July. Will now change to another voice that I just found out was in Halo 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitani Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 hope all is okay for Claudia. On the subject of the tickets could you offer the option for those with joint photo tickets to have half refunded and still get our photo taken with Amanda Tappin? I asked this the other day and was told you will need to get a full refund and then by Amanda's photoshoot separately. Hope everything is okay with Claudia and her family.

discodiva Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Clarification...we WILL DEFINITELY be offered the refund for the Saturday morning talk won't we?...even if a decision for Amanda to do a solo talk is made - I do NOT want to go to this and definitely want my money back for BOTH tickets that I bought...£40 is a lot of money and I can use that for Winter LFCC....with all this talk about people being willing to pay for a solo Amanda talk I want to be reassured that those of us who don't, will get our refunds in the normal way, expedited as soon as feasible for Showmasters staff... Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marousj Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 The solo panel is just an idea by us disappointed fans. It might not even lead to something in which case you will get the refund after the convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 It's been said that all talk/photo tickets will be refunded after the show. So you will definitely get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance.. Don't worry, without another guest to replace Claudia SM would not refuse a refund. It's just not how they roll. They know people paid for 2 guests for the initial talk. The Poll is just to see how many are happy to still pay that amount just for Amanda. Edited July 4, 2013 by bonniesrg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
