Hi everyone,

CHEVRON 7.2 now 20th - 22nd Feb 2009 @ the Park Inn BEDFORD!

We have been working on guests for Chevron 7.2 & because filming started on the Monday after the show, we were having difficulties getting the main guests we wanted. So we had to drop back the date a week so the guests are clear to attend Chevron 7.2. Because of this we have had to change hotel as well. We do hope you all understand it's for the best as now we can have a great line up. We are sorry and we wouldn't have done this unless it was the best for you, the fans.

You can find details on travel etc on the official Chevron 7.2 website CHEVRON 7.2

I would think if you have to book them yourself that you would have to change them yourself, but for you and a few others it would be nice to know this direct from the horses mouth.

I don't mind the date change so much, but the venue change might have killed me here - Bedford is smack bang in the centre of nowhere. I have to change four times to get there, it's a five hour journey, it's much more expensive, and I also can't get a trip home on Sunday so that's an extra night in hotels too, and a whole two days of uni missed, vs no days in uni missed.

This is going to require some thinking.

Just to let you know, there is booking information for the new venue posted on the website when you go to 'Venue' there is a phone number there to call to book your room, and the room rates have changed as well. :)

You can pay half for me. You're a mod, it's your job to get me out of sticky situations  

[DavidB]

Me? Get you out?

You know me better than that. I just push you further in

[Psychosis]

Hmph, well, then you're not doing your job properly.

I DEMAND an inquiry.

I went on the Bedford Park Inn site a couple of days ago and looked at the prices for the dates of this convention and they were only £46 per night (weekend rate), now since yesterday you can no longer book at that rate as all the rooms are apparently booked, I phoned up about this rate and they quoted the same price showmasters is, and that is £65, however every other weekend is still £46, so why is it that we have to pay an extra £19 per night for the room?

[rockluvva]

Maybe the £46 was room only, £65 is with breakfast? Will have to look for other accom if the hotel's full already!

Yes because £19 for breakfast is really worth it    I don't think it's full already, just shows it as full online because showmasters have probably pre-booked all of the rooms so only convention goers can stay.

I have to agree with this, it's an issue for me. Jason, I know you know I'm not usually one to whine and criticise - but I'm going to really struggle here. I am going to have to get an extra night in the hotel because the new location is in the middle of nowhere and nowhere near any major train routes and I had hoped that the lower price of the hotel would offset that a little for me. Not only is it no cheaper - Northampton was only £8 more expensive than the standard weekend rate would've been, whereas this is £19 more!

Edit: Obviously I have no idea whether this is down to you or the hotel (I'm guessing the hotel) - but I did want to agree with Christoff that it's going to be a problem for me.

I had a quick look last night and, IIRC, the lower rate was room only and the £66 (not £65) rate was breakfast staying in an executive room.  This does make me rather unhappy too, I must admit!

I must admit I was wondering about this difference in price too...
