natfrog5 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 ...San Diego have already announced their dates for next year and it's the 21-24 July. So realistically will this mean the LFCC dates will have to change? Coz otherwise our guest list possibilities will be pretty much non existent for current shows!

Moderators DavidB Posted July 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2015 No need for it to change. Plenty of potential guests plus not all current tv show casts will be there. LFCC won't suffer at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualmpeddler Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I agree with DavidB i dont like to talk about other ones but i think they will be big on star trek having a feeling its something to do with the 50th anniversary next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_mark Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I come every year from Switzerland for the LFCC for five years and I won't miss that in 2016. With these dates I have to quit my summer job in a music festival to be there in LFCC and I can not get my job back if I miss one year. So I'm a bit sad to read that. It was usually the second weekend of July and now it's the forth. Why do you have to change again the dates this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvega Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm good with pretty much any date as long as those date does not change as soon as I got my train tickets, hotel reservation, and my vacations request set with my employer... Meaning if dates have to change for some reasons make sure it's done by December, I've read that LFCC winter date had shift, don't want this to happen here, don't forget that many of us do come from abroad, so we do need to plan ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they can only run the show when the venue is available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means more people will be able to attend the Friday as it will be during the school holidays too. 2 shows in a week? Gonna have to do some prioritising now! The other one could well sell out, three day tickets have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all bands play at Glastonbury, but there's a reason why none of the other big European festivals take place that weekend. Nobody wants to clash with the mother lode, because nobody looks good by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2015 SDCC is a whole different beast. It's promo focused and the meetings etc are very very limited. LFCC will continue to do what it does. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13thsasquatch Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My point was that simply having it the same weekend invites comparison to an event people already see as bigger in stature. The reason I mentioned festivals is that they can all run on the same weekends, and many do, without so much as a batted eyelid, because most don't even notice they clash. But the second one of them clashed with Glastonbury everyone would notice and draw comparisons. That's what's happening here; it's not like SM events never clash with any others happening in the US, but as soon as it's San Diego people notice and think that it'll make LFCC worse. And while they are different events it is obviously going to place additional complications on potential guest availability. I can easily see a scenario where SM puts on a terrific show, only to drown in grumpy comments of "but if you'd held it on a different weekend, person X would have been available", whether a valid comment or not.

Queen_Sindel Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I can easily see a scenario where SM puts on a terrific show, only to drown in grumpy comments of "but if you'd held it on a different weekend, person X would have been available", whether a valid comment or not. That will happen anyway. "Had you moved it by three more weeks show A would not have started filming yet and B would be available." We go through that every year for different reasons.

TerraHawk Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 SDCC is a whole different beast. It's promo focused and the meetings etc are very very limited. LFCC will continue to do what it does. I've said before SDCC looks forward, LFCC looks back. There's room for both. But I do find it a shame that just as LFCC is getting the greater worldwide recognition - websites reporting on the Weaver panel and BTTF, it's going to have to do well to be heard above everything that goes on at SDCC next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiara72 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I am happy with these dates. I hope only that there will be a lot of guests from different series, as usually. I hope that there will come a lot of sci-fi guests, especially from Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, ... Edited July 29, 2015 by chiara72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullseye Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I personally think its crazy to have this at the same time or within a couple of weeks of SDCC. You are potentially limiting guests who may favour going to SDCC over London. Its unnecessary. Edited July 29, 2015 by Bullseye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchb Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My only worry with the clash is the affect it may have on what Game of Thrones guest may attend, as the most popular cast always attend SDCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shippercrazy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I agree. I realise a lot of guests Showmasters get won't be at SDCC however, getting any decent guests from current shows just won't happen like Hayley Attwell for instance. It will be a real shame if it does clash as the shows i watch are still current so these are the guests i want to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamsphere Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 so i guess i have no hopes for any main cast members from once upon a time then! they go every year, its pretty big, they show previews and everything every year there for new seasons. always wished i could meet robert carlyle at one of these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMD1984 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 SDCC was on the weekend before LFCC this year. usually it is the other way around, LFCC is a week before SDCC in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
