isnt this forum supposed to be about this weekend and not crap music groups and personal web pages.... Constructive Critisism for future Showmasters shows. Dont like on your web site (or you can read that as....tell us all we need to know in your website please) The more information we have, the better we can arrange our days out. Hold the events in a better venue. Charge for entrance (this will remove all the gawkers and kiddy screamers "i saw elijah awrghhhhhhh" (gimme a break)

Okay. so anyone who wasnt happy today is an idiot. Thanks for that one. I shall be going to the better organized event. Got that one sorted too. No reason to call me an idiot just because i have attended the very well advertised (kind of) C4. Ive been to MANY other events by other companies. So im not a novice. I dont call you an idiot for siding with the Showmaster people. Nor do i insult them personally. I just said that (and stand by it) it was a total mess. People are forgetting that at the end of the day Showmasters are in these events (as are the stars) to make a profit (which im damn sure they did) Lets treat it like a business shall we and not a free for all riot and slanging match. Yours Sincerely. A disgruntled and one time customer........

You cannot charge to get into a Shopping Centre. Thats why it was "free" Although it wasnt free as you did have to pay to meet the stars (and ive no objection to that at all) I agree with the people who have stated they would rather pay for an entrance ticket and have a professionally organized event, than have a so called free event that only benefits the residents of Milton Keynes who arrived at 4am to get tickets... Again. Showmasters arent doing these events for charity. They arent doing them for the good of the fans (who can blame them, its a business after all) But they trully suck when it came to organization. And whats with all the children posting abuse to those that justifiably complain in here about legitimate complaints......Lay off....Your entitled to your opinions...And the many, many grumpy people (me included) are entitled to ours.... Other memorabilia companies manage to get great names attending their events. And organize and uphold their promise to a great day....

(1) Will people stop going on about how wonderful and how much we should appreciate the Showmasters crew, i was under the impression that Showmasters put these events on for business purposes. The attending "stars"are paid well, as are Showmasters and the crew. (2) I havent attended any of the other Collectors fairs (i have been to other (and BETTER) memorabilia fairs) and used the website for information before attending. Nowhere on the website did it mention that we would need tickets to meet certain stars (i have a saved webpage that states NO TICKETS ARE NEEDED) It also states that the event opens at 10am. (which according to this forum, it didnt. It started way earlier than that.) (3) I read a lot about how hard to organize this event was. Well myself and my friends didnt see ANY organization at all. The queing system was totally ineffective and caused people to queue way longer than would have been needed if the event was organized correctly (and ive been to many events where they were organized correctly and efficiently) (4)We travelled around 3hrs to this event (each way) only to find that all tickets were gone (the tickets that we didnt even know about) and the people we didnt need tickets for(few and far between) had line up times of between 2-5hrs. Awful. (5) whos idea is it or was it to hold this thing in the middle of a busy shopping centre? Hair brained idea or what (6) If they had any idea how many people were going to turn up, from the LOTR stars alone, then where were the safety issues? Good job there wasnt a fire or a bomb scare isnt it! (7) Before anyone goes mad at me for complaining (and i and my group have every right to complain) DONT! Like i said, ive been to several other events and none of the problems that i saw today were there. Ive seen many people questioning whether they shall attend C5 or not. I for one WONT. (clap hands everyone, one less moaning group!) As i was led to believe that the Showmasters events were the best around. Today proves them to be the worst organized event since the Jean Michel Jarre concert in Denmark!!!! (8) Showmasters....Sort yourself out. Your supposed to be running a business. And all you ran was a disaster. (No need for anyones mother to reply to this posting. I was p*ssed off today, I shall still be p*ssed off tomorrow) End of Sermon!!
