The Ritual. I liked this though it wasn't very scary. It was well made and the design of the creature was well imagined.

Did they make that into a film then? I'm not sure about that, I can't see it being very good.

Isle Of Dogs. I'm a bit late to the party with this one but I've finally watched it. It's a silly film really plot wise, but it's very good and I enjoyed watching it. It's really well made.

Better too early than 2 weeks too late I guess

Everyone is 100% attending until they aren't, no organiser is going to speculate or comment on rumours. I understand what you mean and there won't be a single person who will be surprised if more/all/most US guests cancel, but until it's formalised between agents and organisers there's not a lot they can say, and as each guest has their own agent, they have to be dealing with them all, it's not like they are waiting to hear from just one person. It may be that we get a statement next week, or the week after as I imagine it's likely Showmasters are waiting to see what the government says. Unfortunately this is a unique situation and lots of people are waiting for a decision either way. Hopefully it won't be long until we get an update.

They always announce cancellations, at least as far as I can remember. They announced John Wesley Shipp's cancellation and rescheduling a couple of days ago, and they posted today that Peter Davidson has cancelled. With Regards to Ming-Na, she has posted it yes, but as a contract exists between her and Showmasters it all has to be done properly and SM can only announce it once it's been confirmed to them by her agents. Additionally they will probably be trying to see if they can rearrange her so they post all the details at once. I agree that they need to be prompt and public when letting us know that a guest can't come any more but it's hardly as if they never tell anyone ever that a guest isn't coming.

What's the problem?

Total guess, but if restrictions are lifted it may also come down to what the guests want.

It says this in the details so I guess it will tell you when you order. Send in addresses: Please check the product description for details of which address below to send your items.

Sherlock!

Unfortunately we wouldn't be allowed to discuss it here really.

As the bear said. But ultimately if he's not attending we have to wait for Showmasters to officially confirm it. If you didn't have a Saturday ticket already, then yeah for the costume shoot, but if he is attending he will be there other days.

They won't have answers for every hypothetical I'm afraid. I think all anyone can say is that if things have taken a turn for the worse enough that they need to cut entry even further, the event probably isn't going ahead.

It's worth noting as well if you haven't bought entry, that the Costume shoot is on Saturday which is now sold out.

What will happen with the actual shoot we don't know I'm afraid. Showmasters haven't said what they will be doing and until they do it's guess work. My guess is that if the restrictions do get lifted as planned and there are no legal restrictions any more it'll probably come down to what the guests are comfortable with. With regards to what he will be wearing, it does say in the announcement that he will be in make up and costume.

I think they said somewhere they were adding him back in soon so keep checking.

It's not something they have done before but obviously the situation is a bit different this time. I have seen someone post elsewhere that apparently SM have said they aren't going to be doing that though so I think it's best to assume there won't be any more Saturday tickets. If you haven't you might want to contact them about that, they may only offer you credit but it's safer to assume no more Saturday tickets will be released and act based on that.

You didn't, no.

It's understandable if you have a long way to come but is there anything else you could do in the area on Saturday so you can still attend and have fun? There's the Dr Who interactive experience I think?

IIRC they usually do warn of low tickets, but sometimes you get caught out if there's a lot of people suddenly buying.

The good thing is that I think they are saying the vaccine works well against it so hopefully it will against any others that form as well.

Agreed. I know the government said the lifting of the restrictions wasn't guaranteed and they would assess it at each stage but as it stands it does look like there might be more of a possibility that the social distancing restrictions won't be gone when they hoped for now.

I could be wrong but I think Ernie's team said ages ago that he was holding off all cons for a bit. That was a while ago though. I guess unless SM say anything to the contrary that he's still attending, but as with all overseas guests the question is will they be able to travel.

No one knows. Until Showmasters make a statement on how it all works we can only guess, and as usual, they won't comment until they are ready to put out a statement I'm afraid. All we can do is wait especially as it's tied to the government lifting restrictions.

If a photo or ticket is sold out it will still be in the shop, but it will say 'sold out' where the drop down menu option for how many you want is. It's not coming up in a search so I would say they haven't added them.
