Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted March 3, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 3, 2015 Due to his filming schedule, James Marsters can no longer attend Cardiff in March. We can confirm that James will be attending the next Cardiff show on November 7th & 8th, plus London Film and Comic Con Winter on 14th & 15th November James Marsters will still be attending Newcastle as scheduled. Refunds for photo shoots will be processed ASAP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbug Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 excellent news I will be attending the LFACCW been wanting to meet James for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well this makes me coming up on the day less worrying; less hectic of a day. Disappointing for those that have tickets but I'll see him another time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECRICHARD_ Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Nooooooooo Me and my girlfriend were so looking forward to meeting him! Â He better not cancel in November now! I only just pre-book the tickets as well haha! Â Weird how I had some odd feeling he'd be cancelling.. Very unfortunate!

Stenun Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 That's terrible! :-( He was the main reason I was coming all the way from Brighton. I *hate* that entry tickets are non-refundable in these circumstances. Surely we should be able to specify when we buy them that we'd like a refund if Such-And-Such cancels? Otherwise it's a waste of money for us. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guest specific tickets for talks etc. are of course refunded. Â If entry tickets to a general event like this would be refundable this would open a whole can of worms with people using every possible excuse to get a refund. The event would lose a huge pillar of the financial foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully accept the t&cs that applied when I bought the ticket and understand that there are no refunds. Â What I'm saying is that maybe there SHOULD be refunds. You say people would be using "every possible excuse" but how about a simple mechanic where, when you buy your entry ticket, you specify which guests you want to meet and then if ALL of them cancel, you get a refund?

Moderators DavidB Posted March 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's an event as a whole - people buy tickets aware that guests can cancel but there's plenty more to see and do at the event itself. Â All signing events like this work the same. It's not just Showmasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourniquet Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Luckily me and my friend hadn't brought tickets yet. Will look forward to Newcastle then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â All signing events like this work the same. It's not just Showmasters. Â I know that. I've been to at least a dozen Showmasters events over the years and hope to come to a dozen more. :-) I also know that "all signing events like this work the same". But what I'm saying is maybe they shouldn't; because what I'm getting now is the impression that I shouldn't bother buying entry tickets in advance ever again - just in case there are cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosreddevil Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Bang and ouch, two big guests (Chris Cousins and James) cancel on the same day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Gutted! Â Will talk tickets bought on the old system be refunded automatically? Â I don't already have the tickets. Edited March 3, 2015 by benweblight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyromie Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Oh DAMN! Not like we're coming from abroad. I don't care that he'll be in Cardiff other time, I won't. I have other people to meet, but a friend is coming with me and she was only interested in James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btvsfan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Completely gutted I was only going to see James - I'd literally only on Sunday night booked a non refundable hotel and train tickets (£200) and now it's all wasted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non refundable hotels do sometimes let you change dates, perhaps see if they will change it for November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfilm_1 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I wasn't able to attend Cardiff so I pre-ordered an autograph from him from the pre-order shop. Will this be refunded the same way as photoshoots? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cant believe he has cancelled, as it is most of the dealers will be elsewhere. Â Â Heres hoping for a replacement guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffy2k Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) same here non refundable hotel and only coming to see James, glad he's working and will see him soon at something else but a lot of money to lose. at least will get the talk and photo ticket money back I guess only just got the tix in the post a few days ago too. Always a prob when you book for one guest.Oh well await a refund soon. Edited March 3, 2015 by buffy2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
