Pweeease! Sorry but tickets are paid for in full at time of purshase, that's not going to change anytime soon, including "putting some on hold".

Moderators etmuse Posted March 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just think of how unfair you'd find it if you were someone who hadn't been to any, who had the money now to buy a ticket but were told the only tickets left were being held back for people who'd been to one before? (And then if those people don't find the money in time and don't buy a ticket at all, showmasters have lost out on potential ticket sales, and potential attendees have lost out on the convention experience!)

yellowmarlin Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 In reality, how many cons have ever completely sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted March 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2011 In reality, how many cons have ever completely sold out? ET2 and ET3 did. Possible ET1 as well. I don't know about earlier cons. I do know both Hub 3 and the first Hallowhedon sold over 700 (which I think made them less than 100 tickets from selling out).

dragonsanddaffodils Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not many Plus, its only the gold and silver tickets that usually sell out, so you are most likely guaranted a standard, and can then purchase photoshoots on top. You dont miss out on the whole con experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted March 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2011 Only at the event itself as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted March 2, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 2, 2011 Only at the event itself as far as I'm aware. Correct. As there were gold and silver tickets available at the show it's self, Mark decided to allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmcc@live.co.uk Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Oh i wished id have known this at the time when i bought standard as i would have stretched myself to buy silver there and then ,as it was i just wanted to know i was going and I thought you could upgrade I heard on the et6 website that people had upgraded before they got to ET5 event online thats why i just bought standard??

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted March 2, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted March 2, 2011 If you can show me anything official that says you can upgrade (ME website, a forum post from Mark) I'd be happy to take it further. But I'm sorry you should have asked first, as far as I'm aware we've never allowed upgrades apart from at the event it's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i will try n ask who upgraded online thanks Stuart, sorry I didnt ask cos I already had that info I didnt know it would be necessary to check at time of purchase I just assumed as other people had done this it would be ok for me too Hopefully I will be able to as it just makes things easier not having to carry around yellow phototickets and worrying incase i loose one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfaxlady Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 i have only just found out about the tickets so im hoping there is some silver tickets left over, i have some how got to convince my b/f to come with me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 From the ME Shop FAQ: I have bought a ticket for X convention but I would like to upgrade/downgrade - is this possible?No, I'm afraid all ticket purchases are final. This policy is in place to protect the event and to prevent people from hedging their bets with a Standard ticket and upgrading to Gold or Silver if a guest they like is announced. Yes, some upgrades were allowed for ET5 because the Golds and Silvers weren't going to sell out, so Mark said it was okay. There has not been a change in policy and people shouldn't count on being allowed to upgrade or encourage others to do so either. Please support the event properly and buy the Gold or Silver tickets if you want them. If enough people are involved, the extra money between Standard and Gold could easily make a difference to the guest line up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
