^ I agree, basing the fate of future ETs on the turnout of ET8 is silly....ET8 was successful because Peter was announced and people who came to previous cons didn't want to miss out on the last one. For ET9 the attendance will dwindle back down to the 300s, not that i'm complaining as i like it when there are less people to crowd the guests...I went gold for ET8 as myself and my mum sincerely believed that this would be the last one - we find it hard to manage the money for standard tickets let alone gold, so this was a major pain in the bum. Also, a tad unprofessional SM/ME....I'm not judging, if great guests are announced i want to be there in a shot....

I would like to add to this. There was some SERIOUS overcrowding at the drinks reception. it was my first drinks reception and i was told by friends that previous ones were a lot better as there were more tables, so less overcrowding. We arrived on time to the drinks reception but by the time we got our drinks all the tables were taken and after paying £255 we weren't going to split up... We went to one table but didn't get any interaction whatsoever so we decided to try and make our own 'gathering'/table but we were later told that this was a no go. Thankfully Rhi (crew member) was so helpful and organised for us to table hop to catch up with the guests we missed and one crew member even got Daniel to come over and chat to us, which was nice. However, it doesn't make up for the fact that us and other people missed out on the full gold experience due to the lack of organisation - especially as we spent so much money because we were told at ET7 that this would be the last ET.......

I was thinking as most people are either at/packing or already on their way to the Hilton i wanted to quickly post the follwowing message: I just wanted to thank ME/SM for organising the ET events over the past few years - i think i can vouch for everybody for the fact that it has been the highlight(s) of my year. I have met so many amazing people through my ET experiences, both guests and attendees. SM/ME get a lot of stick when it comes to guests/parties etc, but i admire how they manage to organise such amazing weekends when there are up to 1000 attending (ET4). I know i'm not one to say this as i haven't been to every ET event, but you guys have put on a great show and i just wanted to say thank you. So, as it is mere hours before ET8 'The Finale' kicks off, i wanted to wish that everybody has a fantastic weekend and that this ET will leave you with great memories that you can look back on in the future - I'm sure ME/SM will make sure that we go out with a mahoosive BANG! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE EVENTS SO SPECTACULAR AND SPECIAL! YOU HAVE BROUGHT SOMETHING WE ALL LOVE ALIVE AND WILL REMEMBER THESE EVENTS FOREVER! So yeah, on this post i guess you can write all your 'thank you' messages - here we go!

Hi I have a similar problem. I wont be arriving until 7.45pm and i have a gold ticket and was wondering what time the gold drinks reception starts? I can't get there any earlier and i won't be devastated if i'll miss out - but it would be nice to be able to join in the fun, especially as it's the last one!

YES YES YES YES YES i loved the party bus!

Pleaaaassseeeee can we have themes? And can we pleeeaaaaaaaaseeeee get the party bus back?

Yes! Please get him back!! :)

BUMP

BOOBOO BOOBOO BOOBOO BOOBOO

^ and Booboo!

i actually think that having repeat guests will be a lovely way to end the event and have 'closure'. it will be like a big reunion with all the people we have met over the years and definitely remind us of all the great memories we have had with the amazing range of guests we have had the oppurtunity to meet. BRING BOOBOO BACK PLEASE!
