frosty007 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi, next year the convention is around the time of the games....it's going to be hard to book hotels close by, unless I book well in advance. This year didnt you change the dates of the convention? (or am I going mad??) If I book next years hotel soon ...over the next two weeks...am I safe in the knowledge that you wont change convention dates again? .....I'd hate to loose the hotel money.

adriangill Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 If I recall, the date changed for LFCC 2011 due to the fact that Earls Court double booked and already had another event for the date that was booked originally. Hopefully that won't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_moonshine_x Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Go ahead and book it, just book a hotel you can cancel. Yeah, it costs a little more to do that, but you don't have to pay upfront and it solves the problem. You have a hotel, and if the date does change, you have the option to cancel it and rebook on the new dates.

enty Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The dates were in the program which I cant find. From what I can remember its the same weekend as this year but its in Olympia and not Earls Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 6th-8th July, Olympia Grand Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar6662 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Came in on the train each day this year which was nice and cheap though meant an early start. Olympia is just that little bit trickier to get to so might book a hotel that can be cancelled within reasonable walking distance just in case. Adds quite a bit to the expense of the weekend though as I'm not keen on the really cheap ones. Can't believe I'm thinking about that already before I even know if there will even be any guests I want to meet. Though that may not be such an issue based on this year.

Moderators DavidB Posted July 14, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2011 They certainly don't ever PLAN to change the dates, but no one can 100% guarantee that nothing will change. It's very rare for signing event dates to shift though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_g Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 is Olympia Grand Hall easy to get to from either earl's court or victoria coach station? I don't really know the area. We found earl's court very convenient for our national express busses, would this be similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraHawk Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Go ahead and book it, just book a hotel you can cancel.

You have a hotel, and if the date does change, you have the option to cancel it and rebook on the new dates. Its the other way round for me at the mo, I usually spend £30 on a hotel then £200 on autos than viceversa. But at present the only rooms coming near £30 (which aren;t that near!) want money now (still recovering!) or have a cancellation fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar6662 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oh man it clashes with Sonisphere AGAIN! WHY?!!!! Metal fans are geeks you know. I thought they were going to move that back to the start of August again. The only reason it was this last weekend this year was because that's the only time they could get the Big4 all together to do all the shows. Ah well, to be honest I had such a good time at LFCC I think I'd rather do that and catch any bands I want to see when they tour on their own. Most bands come round pretty regularly, most of the guests at the SM events don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorock Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Interesting.........where is that if you don't mind me being nosey!?! Euro Hotel Hammersmith.

crippsy_99 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Euro Hotel Hammersmith. Booked through late rooms. I looked on laterooms, and saw that hotel, but it was £65 a night? For two people anyway, perhaps you were looking at single rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bands come round pretty regularly, most of the guests at the SM events don't. Sadly they're sticking with July. I went on the Friday for the Big 4 and travelled back home that night, got up at 5am to crew on the Saturday and was subsequently a whinge-bag all weekend as I was so tired and acutely aware that I was missing some great bands. I just hate having to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
