    Guest Cancellation - Alex Meraz

    in Eternal Twilight 7

    Posted

    I don't think it's disrespectful to voice disappointment or an opinion. By and large, the people who post on here are very complimentary of ME/SM and have demonstrated their continuous support by purchasing tickets for this event over the last few years. The calibre of guests *has* declined somewhat while the ticket price has risen. Most of us aren't made of money (especially when a lot of us attend several ME/SM cons in the year) so this is a difficult thing to remain supportive of. But we continued to do so because promises were being made, or heavily hinted at and, because we have maintained that support (a lot of us from the very beginning, my friends and I have attended since ET1) we had faith that we would not be disappointed. A lot of us here had decided that we would only purchase tickets for ET7 if the guest list matched our expectations (and not the big three, my biggest hope for an awesome guest list would be people that play characters I am already invested in - i.e. not someone only on screen for a few minutes - and people I have not met before) but we had an apple dangled in front of us and we bit. Perhaps then, if people want to vent a little then that's okay and perfectly normal. We will probably all still have a good time but that doesn't mean people don't have the right to be upset. I know organisers don't like negative comments on their forums and sometimes censor things but I hope they can understand where this is coming from.

     

    I don't think ME/SM have been deliberately negligent here, and I doubt that anyone else believes that they haven't tried to secure guests. But, I do think Twilight has become far bigger than SM/ME now and, as I've stated in a previous post, it was unfair to hype up this event before anyone had the absolute authority to do so. It *is* "swings and roundabouts" in terms of finances and whatnot but that's not quite the issue here. Some people feel duped and, indirectly or unintentionally, we have been a little bit.

     

    I totally 100 percent agree with this.

     

    Yes I am cross as you have said...we all bit the apple. However, what infuriates me is that having bought a standard ticket, if i want the group shot (which has been offered as a gesture of good will to all gold and silver attendees, as Alex will not be attending) Standard ticket holders must pay £20 for it!!!! I think that is well and truly unfair. You cannot off a gesture of good will to certain people and not the others. We have all forked out money for tickets and are about to fork out money for a hotel room and travel costs also. I think considering all that has gone on the group shot should be offered as a gesture of good will to all attendees.

     

    I mean no disrespect to ME/SE as I work in events an know how hard everyone works to pull an event of this scale off.

    I am gutted but I suppose it was inevitable. I hope that ME and SM come up trumps with replacement guest/s.

     

    Aren't Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in town?? just sayin' ;)

     

    Mega gutted, but tbh I expected it. I really hope that we'll get some great replacements as currently we have 3 people who can't even talk about themselves in the very film the con is about. Gahh ;)

     

    Sure ME will come up trumps though, as usual!!

     

     

    This, too true but fingers crossed

    Hi,

    This will be my 2nd ET my 1st being ET4, which I loved!

     

    Ive been registered on the rhis forum for a while now, but only just remembered my log in details. LOL.

     

    Im really looking forward to seeing everyone I met at ET4 and looking forward to meeting many many more new people.

     

    If anyone can remember as far back as ET4, I was wearing a bright blue dress with a little blue hat on the top of my head. Mostly found dancing on the chairs near the back of the party room on the sat night. If i can figure out how to upload a pic, i will. LOL.
