Showmasters Admin Massive Events Posted November 1, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi everyone, We are really sorry to say that Chris Judge had had to postpone his appearance at Chevron 7.7! He is currently filming The Dark Knight Rises and while he had the time booked off to come over to the show his shooting schedule has changed and the production company are unable to release him! Whilst we are disappointed Chris can't make the event we are pleased that he is still working and also on such a high profile movie. We wish him the best and will definitely be bringing him back to a future event. On a personal note, Chris was actually really upset about not being able to make the event as he loves seeing you all so much. He is definitely looking forward to making it up to everyone as soon as we can next get him back over to The UK. Take care, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodiva Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I'm buying lottery tickets tonight....I told a friend yesterday that I had a feeling Chris would cancel.... I actually thought it would have been due to the schedule of the other film he talks about filming in an interview ...a 12 week stint in Virginia and the Bahamas on something called "To Have and To Hold"...

crippsy_99 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Now im annoyed again as I only booked yesterday for Chris and Vanessa, and the 3 replacements ive met so many times now ive got nothing left for them to sign, not to mention after the number of events they've done, they cant possibly have anything else to say about SG If I could have got a refund on everything (hotel, trains etc) I wouldnt have bothered now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional photo shoots that have been purchased will be refunded. Normally that happens after the event. Three additonal guests have been announced. It is never a case of 'x' is a replacement for 'a', 'y' being a replacementh for 'b', and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenmarqueiro Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Greatttt, two big names cancelled excellent. I really only bought a ticket for Chris Judge, and yes I understand why people are saying 'thanks for replacements' and such but to be honest It's not really good enough, swapping big names for little ones. No main SG actor there?! Cost a lot too, feel more sorry for those who bought gold and are coming over from another country For mine and my boyfriends first convention, what a let down.

Moderators DavidB Posted November 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2011 As with any convention, organisers have to get the guests that they can. At short notice I think they've done a very good job. It's unfortunate that this is your first convention experience. Sometimes it works out perfectly, while other times this happens. It's always going to be risky booking for one particular guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellefyne Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I agree with David, I think ME have done a great job in securing 3 new guests at such a short notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 but to be honest It's not really good enough, swapping big names for little ones. No main SG actor there?!Torri Higginson was a main cast member for three seasons, which was two seasons more than either of her effective replacements. If you mean a direct replacment from SG-1 then it does not work like that. You may not get a like for like replacement from the same show of the franchise. It depends on guest availabaility, especially at such short notice. Plus this is a Stargate convention that covers all of the shows within the franchise when possible. It is not a SG-1 convention.

fifi Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Now I'm really fed up. The other guests go no way to replace Chris and Ben. I've met all the others before. It costs a lot of money to come to these events and they've always been good but there needs to be a real star guest now to make up for Chris and Ben not coming.

amyr1985 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It is disappointing that Chris has had to cancel but Torri, Alexis and Peter are great guests and I'm still looking forward to coming. 3 days to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teresaw Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That bugger is well placed!! So disappointed at Chris cancelling. This my first convention and bought a gold ticket purely because of Chris and Ben and now both gone, how unfair is that!! Although the other guests are fab and will be good to meet them, its not quite the same is it. I have also bought a gold ticket for 7.8 because of Amanda Tapping, if this happens again then I will seriously question buying again for chevron, no members of SG1 or Atlantis team, do feel let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) If I wanted this kind of punishment I'd have kept thwacking my backside with the birch twig...reckon you'll need Too Tall to handle the complaints on this one:-). Any chance with the next one you could book no guests at all and then go "SURPRISE!!" when some actually turn up:-) . I'll be pleased to stand in for Chris on the Saturday - don't mind signing a few 10x8's and a natter on the stage... Just Wishing it was April 1st instead of Halloween...

david111066 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 i am very disapointed the two people that where the reason for me bying a gold ticket have cancled and though there is nothing wrong with the new guest they just dont have the same pull for me plus i've allready meet them. oh well there is till venessa and musetta (from xena one of my all time fav shows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazowl Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I suppose we have to be grateful that they are working. I'm not as disappointed as last year when Michael cancelled but I'd not met either and Lexa had scrawled all over a photo of her and Ben for me to get him to sign - would have been a true original. Still, of the new guests, I've only met Peter Williams so it should still be a great weekend and isn't an awful lot of the weekend about meeting and talking to like minded people who don't think you are an absolute nutter to go to cons?

Yvie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 i paid for an in costume photo shoot. was realy looking forward to meeting him. it cost me £25. i read there will be a group photo shoot for that same price. will our in costume photo shoot with chris be swapped for the group photo shoot enstead? or will out money be refunded and we then have to pay again for the group photo shoot? pleas coupd you answer this question? an if possible i would like to exchange my chris judge in costume shoot for the group shoot. Photoshoot refunds will be dealt with at the event to save time and fuss. You can transfer the value of your cancelled photoshoots to other photoshoots/autograph vouchers at the reg desk, or you can have the refund keyed to your credit/debit card (but these take a few days to clear). Any refunds not handled at the show will be sent afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
