atticusfinch2004 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) It's getting hard to put on a brave face now. I guess buying a Gold Pass is one of the dumbest mistakes I've ever made. I count 7 Cancellations so far... Edited March 6, 2008 by Atticus Finch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungojerrie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm sorry but this really is ridiculous. I was disappointed in seeing one person cancel, but it's shot up to 6 now? I really am disappointed, and I feel very sorry for those people who've bought gold passes tbh. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock them in a room while they sign the contract and keep them there until the day of the show? Yes, it is disappointing when guests cancel, but it's hardly Showmasters' fault.

jakeblue Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I agree that its not Showmasters fualt but you can understand peoples frustrations when they see so many people cancel. Personally i was never going to Manchester so its not an issue, im just bloody glad this didnt happen in Coventry. I hope for those of you attending that Showmasters can pull something out of the bag in the next day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's saying it is SMs fault. It is disappointing for the attendees when we get cancellations and even more so for Showmasters. It's hardly great for them when it happens. Please just let people vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufresne Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 These people all seem more concerned about the quantity of cancellations than Brian (or any particularguest) specifically. If a guest doesn't matter to you .... shut up ! Cancellations are an occupational hazard for SM and for us. The writers' strike keeping guests from us is one thing, but when it starts effecting home grown guests ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess83 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 It's really starting to feel like this particular event is just cursed. I've seen cancellations for cons before but nothing quite as bad as this. It's really bad luck for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope It all depends what the knock-on effect is on the schedule etc. Obviously TV schedules have been pretty messed up, so they're likely to be filming later than originally planned. And movies? God knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
