nosfer2 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I noticed this on the official Red Dwarf website: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2009/01/30/please%2Dnote/ I guess all publicity is good publicity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw that, its not like they have an alternative I loved the Dimension Jump cons, but they aren`t on anymore. Have to admit its a bit wierd to put that on the website as front page news though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I am confused and just checking here probs being dense but anyways the website says 13th and 14th yet the ticket programmes say 3 parties and Gold reception on Friday night, so really it's the 12th to the 14th not just the 13th and 14th? dargh now it makes it slightly harder being the week after C15 surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted February 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2009 The site dates are right. It's just 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 then perhaps they need to change the description in the tickets in the online shop? because it clearly says 3 parties and Gold Drinks Reception Friday night, which therefore implies the con is 3 days but you are saying there is nothing happening that night because it's only the 13th and 14th sorry I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth booking hotels for Fri and Sun as well, which it obviously wouldn't be if nothing was happening Friday night and the Sunday party is quiet (especially as it's only a few days after C15 ) surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta_Jan Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yayness!!! Just booked two standard tickets for me and my man. We're so looking forward to this, cheers SM, you guys have done great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as having the gold pass reception on the Friday night, so TECHNICALLY, if you are a gold pass holder, the convention starts Friday evening. But for silver and standard pass holders. it is just saturday and Sunday. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for silver and standard pass holders. it is just saturday and Sunday. Is that correct? The website says two parties (Saturday and Sunday) regardless of which ticket you go for and a drinks reception on Friday for gold ticket holders. So, unless you're getting a gold ticket, if you can travel on Saturday and get there at a reasonable time, it's probably not worth booking a room for the Friday night. The only problem then might be what to do with your bags until you can check in to your hotel but there would probably be somewhere you could leave them.

surfy_sah Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 phew ok so C&P issues so there is def NOT anything on Friday? so as I will be living in London then I only need to book Saturday night at the hotel (and if they are taking money up front I won't be doing that till I get my first pay check in May ) thanks for clearing that up Joyce I did not know you liked RD, rock on!!!!! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 16, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 16, 2009 It is definitely a 2 days event and nothing is happening Friday. The only thing that "may" happen on Friday is we may open the reg desk. But that's to be decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks for confirming that ah. Think I've found what Dom was referring to, have just looked on the shop at the tickets, the Standard and Silver still say 3 parties and the Gold still says "Exclusive drinks reception with the guests on Friday evening" and 3 parties need a bit of editing there! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 18, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Yep I'll be there. There will be a Gold Pass drinks reception.

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted February 19, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just to confirm.... The gold programme does include a drinks reception as stated on the website. However, Better than Life is a two day event so the drinks reception will be held on the Saturday and NOT the Friday as with other cons. Hope that clears things up.
