Coolio! Thanks!

Hiya! Me again! Has the schedule been posted yet, and if so, where so?

Yes, that should be fine, but you would all have to pay that. That's correct Ok, gottya! But...........

You think? What are you unsure about? Right now, even my name escapes me! So back to this group photo! lol We were wond'rin wether we could have a group pic WITH them, ALL of them, and us (5 of us)... I kinda thought maybe yes, but we'd all have to pay the £30 to do so... Any clues?

That's good to know! mmm subway nomnomnom *wants a subway now* Another question... can you pay for the group photo's on the day... or is it better to do it online? The Meatball sub on Italian, hot chilli sauce and Olives please!

Ohhh ok! My friends and I were just wondering about the 5 of us in the same photo as the cast (singular or plural) Gottit now...I think!

Right, so are we all friends again now? lol! What a pallava, glad you got back to us Mark! Cheers! X

Thanks for replying. It got pretty heated in here today. I wasn't made aware that it was an incentive, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that some people, myself included were actually given the wrong information by the Park Inn as early as last December. I'm really hoping that Mark WILL have serious words with them tomorrow, and hopefully come up with something that can appease those who feel they've been duped. I'm not one of them as I have a Silver ticket, but have been told I may be able to upgrade on the day of arrival. And I'm looking forward to everything and anything I can have! For the record my hands are tied re. where I'm staying, my room was booked by someone who paid in advance, at the Ibis, owing to her remote situation and being told there were absolutely no rooms left at the Park Inn, she wanted to make sure we got a Hotel as close to the Event venue as possible. She incidentally is a Gold ticket holder. Once again, many thanks for replying.

Sorry if you think I was being pedantic. I was only picking up on what you said. As for feeling duped .. I'm not gaining anything from this situation. If I end up at the Travelodge and I miss out then so be it. I'm just going to get on with it, enjoy what I'm entitled to, and be happy for those lucky enough to have the group shot. That's just me though, and of course I understand anyone that has a problem with it I wouldn't mind staying in the Travelodge either! lol But my concern is still for those that have had to (through being given false information) book other rooms elsewhere, and won't get the same oppo's. You see I and others like me actually rang the Park Inn last December and were told 'no room at the Inn' and had to go to another Hotel, which we really didn't want to do. Some of those attendees are Gold, so because their hands were forced, should they miss out on the chance of some of their lifetimes? I think they shouldn't. So what I'm basically proposing is that all Gold ticket holders get that chance. Get me yet? lol Aye, we will see closer to the time, I guess! I just hope they at least try to do something for those that feel they're missing out through no fault of their own. Thanks for being pleasant Rhianydd, I can be a bit bolshy sometimes! ~grin~ you didnt see me this afternoon when I came back to the house ready to make a wedding cake and found my kids and friend spread out all over the house! It will all get sorted, perhaps not everyone will be happy with the final decision (if we havent had that already) And just checking people are emailing the right place and not the shop? office email is info@showmastersonline.com (I think ! Eek! brain hurting!) lol Ack!! Cake making and kids don't go together, unless they're employed to lick the Spoon! Aye that's the address I've been using for the past few months, cheers, and good luck with the cake!

It would be awful if they took it away now!! I really hope it's what you just said: they like to see people sweat! I promise they are not keeping you waiting intentionally, I just checked, they are not online at the moment, and probably have no clue whatsoever that this is happening, until one of them checks in later or tomorrow I've a feeling they do know, with the amount of mail I know has gone to them since this was made public today! I should imagine there's lots of stroky beard and coffee time for them tonight. They'll have to do something about it.

is neccesssarily the right way to go about this. Would that mean everyone got the gold pass reception or everyone got guest encounters etc etc Where do you draw the line? I guess it is just all up to showmasters if they change the way they implement this or not. I have a Silver ticket, hoping to upgrade at source. But you miss my point. Gold ticket holders at the Park Inn are the only ones that have this opportunity. And many, many Gold ticket holders have had to book rooms elsewhere because of false information from the Park Inn regarding room availability, from the outset of Bitten being advertised, online AND over the 'phone! Surely these people shouldn't miss out on this opportunity simply because the Park Inn gave the wrong information in the first place! I think everyone would prefer to stay at the Event Hotel, hence the outcry now! It's only when differences in opportunites comes to the fore, for all those that have paid the same amount for a particular ticket, that people will complain. And quite rightly so! Incidentally, if I can't upgrade on the day, I will still be upset for the friends of mine that have paid for a Gold ticket but are NOT being given the same Event courtesy and opportunities, because of Park Inn management/Bitten event management, not giving the correct and accurate information in the beginning! I am really sorry, not trying to contradict you, but this wasnt offered with the gold programme admission, as Queen Sindel said earlier. This is new and only now being introduced. I am also afraid that tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangable, but I will wait for Queen Sindell or David to confirm this for me (normally not a problem, cos I would check on the website, but tonight, I assume there may be half a dozen replies before I check) - I will still check the website for that information for you That's quite odd, as I know a few people who have upgraded, and was told from source that I could ask to be upgraded on the day. I know this is only now being introduced, and only now it comes to light about the information people were given last year and early this year regarding availability at the Park Inn, that is precisely why people are now discussing it. I've checked the website already, but thanks ) Oops, I have no idea where that emoticon came from!

So honestly you'd rather people got their group shot taken away because you and others can't have it? That seems really harsh to me. You are being pedantic, you know exactly what I'm saying! That those with Gold tickets that have had to book rooms elsewhere because of false information at the end of last year, should be given the same courtesy! And of course there is no way you can actually prove that, so the logical thing to do would be to offer ALL Gold ticket holders inclusion in the group photo! And if it was you who was feeling duped, you'd have something to say about it, I'm pretty certain about that!
