gobo1979uk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Much going on in the same pay month for most people :-s but will have to see. Also clashes with london comic mart now - will this be incorporated? Still - enjoyed the show last year so will most likely go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Maybe it's so they can accommodate some great guests:let's be optimistic here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecadet is here Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Maybe it's so they can accommodate some great guests:let's be optimistic here! Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher? Now that would be cool..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animefan1984 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 this is frustrating as I had time booked off especially for this event and will have to miss coming now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffy2k Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) A week before hallowhedon too probably wont make winter even now as too close. I hope this doesn't mean we get everything left till the last minute for HW as too much going on with this event either it was so well organised last year and everything in place early.

mr.fids Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So this event was at Olympia 4-5 th October... then Earls Court 2 11-12th October and is now Earls Court 2 18-19th October !! I've clearly got way ahead of myself as I booked hotels in advance for the first and what I assumed would be the final date on 11-12th ! It may be out of Showmasters hands.. but it would be better NOT to announce any dates until 100% confident they won't move.. This is proving expensive...

dogsoldierspoon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Terrible dates for me, 11 & 12th were so much better. I'm not sure if I'll be coming down to London for the event in this case. I feel sorry for the people who've already arranged hotels, transportation tickets and days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately sometimes these things just happen. Most of the time they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most hotels have a cancellation policy - enough notice and you don't get charged a cancellation fee so you should be ok in respect of accommodation. Not sure about travel though you'd need to check with your provider, hope you can sort it out :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.fids Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Unfortunately to get the lowest rate at London hotels, you have to book at a 'no cancellation' rate.. It is always a gamble when booking hotels for any event, but I assumed I would be safe after the event dates moved once... I never expected them to work through THREE seperate dates... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted February 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2014 As I'm sure they didn't expect it either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Unfortunately to get the lowest rate at London hotels, you have to book at a 'no cancellation' rate.. Some of them will let you transfer to a different date, its not technically a cancellation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fissijo Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Fail me. I hadn't noticed the date change. This is actually a lot better for me than the week earlier. Guest permitting I may end up doing the Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahariel Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Ditto - now a toss up between DST3 and WLFCC, though with the weekend works planned on the DLR for that weekend I'm leaning more towards this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damncutebaby Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Oh I missed this change! I guess it got over shadowed by the Summer LFCC now gotta change time off work as well, lucky only a short train ride away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted June 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just noticed the date change for this, sadly with being so close to DST there's not a chance il get to this one, shame!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
