dragonsanddaffodils Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I would imagine given how popular Twilight is at the moment, that all Twilight guests end up expensive in comparison to some others. Plus the cost of flying everyone over. Twilighters have quite an expensive obsession lol ps Can't believe you made poor Stitch bash his head like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted September 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey I guess what I was trying to say was, aren't the tickets a bit more expensive for this con than most of the others because of the cost of the Cullens, if we aren't getting a Cullen should the tickets be as expensive? I totally understand that ME have no control of Peter cancelling and it is unlikely they will be able to get another Cullen to attend at short notice and I know you guys do a fantastic job in trying to get the guests people want to see. Basically no, it's not simply down to having a Cullen. I know other non-Cullen guests who would be just as expensive, if not more. And to be honest, we don't know how much the others are, plus there's more guests than normal, and they still have to come over etc. And they can't change the ticket price now. They could get a replacement guest, or throw in something extra etc, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray_x Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 What if they announced Nessie? She's a Cullen. Would people be happy to have her replace Peter? No. So asking for a Cullen to replace him is silly really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted September 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2010 How about .. Charles Cullen! Charles Edmund Cullen (born February 22, 1960) is a former nurse and the most prolific serial killer in New Jersey history. Cullen told authorities in December 2003 that he had murdered as many as 40 patients during the 16 years he worked at 10 hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I reckon he'd be pretty cheap? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Cullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechy08 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 1. Some guests change their flights and do not go home for days after a con because they like their trip so much. 2. We are working on guest for up to 3 events in front to try to catch the big name guests, but its only up to a week or two from the event that we get a final answer on the bigger guests if they are free to attend or not. The agents keep the offers live incase something drops out on their dairy and they can attend the event. We are happy to let this happen as one day this will be the way we get one of the bigger guest . 10. We never stop trying to book the main 3 stars of Twilight. 14. The green room is were the guests rest and have food, drink and nibbles. The cost for this room over a weekend at ET is over £1000!!!! 15. We still believe that we will get all the cast from the Twilight films to one of our events one day. 16. We have had more Twilight guests to our events than any other con in the world. 17. An economy flight now costs £800 for an agent to fly with a guest to ET! Every guest has to have someone fly with them. 19. At the drinks reception over 600 glasses of wine are consumed! 20. Guest costs for 2010 are stable but are still 3 times what they were when ET 1 started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 21. So far all the guest that attend an ET have said they would love to attend another ET. Thats 100% of the guests! 22. An Upper Class flight now costs £8,000 to £12,000 and lots of guests have to have these so they arrive refreshed and ready to take part in the Con. 23. Some guests have so much fun at the event they ask to attend the next one. This is something we try not to do as we want you all to see different guests at different cons. 25. If we booked Robert Pattinson we would probably not announce it to the fans as we feel that we would sell out to people that had not supported ETs over the years, so we would try to keep it a secret for as long as possible, so you, the fans that have helped make the event happen, would get the tickets and then you would find out that we had him! That way we feel it's fair to the fans that come every time. 26. Some guests, even though they have signed a contract, forget they are even going to an event. 27. Massive Events has not made a profit in the 3 years it's been running, but thats' not an issue as the company was not set up to make lots of money, but to brake even. So as long as we do not lose too much we are happy that we are doing the right thing for the fans and running some of the best cons in the world! 31. ET is the biggest Twilight Con in the world right now and you are all a part of it 34. We never stop trying to put on a bigger and better Con for you, the fans and if we could book the complete cast of Twilight to attend an ET we would just go for it! 35. We have a tick list of guest we have had and we plan to get through all the names on the list by the time we stop running ETs! These are just some of the points of a rather lengthy list posted by SM in another thread. As you can see, the price of the tickets is really reasonable on SMs part, just looking at the costs of the flights for the guests, let alone the alcohol that us Goldies drink at the drinks reception I have no doubt that SM will pull out an awesome replacement for Peter. ALL HAIL SM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HohoCullen Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) DAMMITT!!! I meant I'd hide while he's talking and then get out when everyone runs away. In fact I've just decided I'll pass on that talk...I'll stay in my room. He'll have a long search before he find that XD Edited September 21, 2010 by HohoCullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. So asking for a Cullen to replace him is silly really. That's a bit rude tbh, I didn't actually "ask" for a Cullen I just put the topic our there for discussion. I said "should we" not "I want" there is a difference between the two. I actually feel that your comment is a little silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HohoCullen Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I suppose that makes up for it a bit...though I would have liked to have met Ashley and Jackson before I die... XD The closest I got to meeting them was screaming for Ashley to come over at the premiere for Eclipse and she walked off. And HohoCullen doesn't have two capital H's. Only one and I don't Ho ho, my name is Holly and I just randomly thought of Hoho and then added Cullen because I like the Cullens XD Edited September 21, 2010 by HohoCullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
