jonathan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Really hope you can get her back another time. Just managed to track down a Sif action figure for her to sign. Alas it will now sit in the cupboard and wait patiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddlesStark Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Don't think I've ever felt so miserable about a cancellation She was pretty much the only reason I was going. I hope she can come back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabonam Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 At this rate there won't be anybody left. Frakes and the Red Dwarf guys will be next. Â I think with over 60 guests still attending, you might be blowing things out of proportion slightly. Â I think he meant guests that aren't sports stars/voice actors/comic writers & artists. Actual actors and actresses in tv and movies. There hasn't been nearly as many at this year's EMS. Last year there were loads, and quite a few big games. This year not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchestergirl64 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nooooooo! Gutted. Hopefully she can make it to an event in the future instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi13 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's a joke ?? Every day we have cancellation and the announcement isn't the same quality that's we lost... I have never seen such cancellation before a show... We can ask us if the show will be always announced... So sad It is always disappointing if a guest you were planning on meeting has to cancel their appearance, but it has always been, and always will be the case that they appear subject to work commitments. We all want our favourite actors, actresses, directors etc in work as it means more great work. I can remember in times gone by when a guest was called either at the airport or en route to the airport in the States by their agent to return home as the shooting schedule had changed last minute. Â As regards not being the same quality as the announcement, that is unfair on the new guest as they are here to meet people who want to meet them. Everyone has different opinions on what is a quality guest, or a big name guest etc. We should keep in mind that guests attending, or their agents, come on these forums form time to time and can read everything written. To say Guest A is not as good as Guest B is not a nice thing to read. Â Cancellations, especially where you have so many at an event like this which is different to a themed weekend convention, the chances of cancellations or rearrangements may seem higher and more noticeable as there are so many more attending. Â I am sure you will have a great time, as will we all, when the show happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasG Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Very disappointing also because she was one of the first guests to be announced. I know there are always cancellations but this year they are all guests I wanted to meet (without exception) and all of them I would class as quite big.

Â Big names and types of guests are down to an individuals personal tastes. I have seen someone post that not many footballers are signed to appear in comparison to former events. But Showmasters have to keeop a variety for all fans of all genres. One friend of mine going is super excited due to the boxers signed. He probably wouldn't have gone if they had not been announced. So, it is all down to personal tastes. I think the show will be a great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi13 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Honestly no ... I acknowledge that I have asked to see some small but each cancellation is disappointing and there is no guest arrival to believe that the show will be saved. Maybe for English's people with Red Dwarf, the EMS was amazing but for most foreigners, it is catastrophic ... Budget to come and stay exceeds 200 pounds and necessarily cancellations can not monetize the show while a 15 shows in Europe this month. Given the CM18 or LFCC, we were edroit to expect a huge show and in the end it is very light ... this is a fact!  There are still many days left until the event and Shwomasters do try and book guests up until the last minute. You mentioned about a budget to come and stat being more than £200 as you live outside England, but there are some of us who have to travel to London and pay for hotels with little change from £200. You are not alone. It will eb a great event. Fun. Meeting fellow fans. Don't be disheartened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is the first year since 2008 that hasn't really been like that - and the first EMS I haven't gone to in that time. I do acccept that it's nice for other people of all genres though. I hope it's a success for all that go. It just shocked me a bit to see it changed so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClockworkOwen18 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Unbelievable! After David Bradley cancelling, I thought well maybe I would go for Jaimie instead but now she is gone, I seriously doubt I will turn up just for one guest. Â Robert to cancel tomorrow?

LFCC is more definitive in its name - London Film & Comic Con EMS is more open to meaning for some - Entertainment Media Show  It seems that same genres have definitely had better treatment in previous EMS events, and now some of us fans of other genres are getting the red carpet treatment. Next year it will probably change again. It is also down to what guests are avaialble. As the cancellations show, these people are in demand for filming work.

Â Any Photo tickets will be refunded as soon soon as possible, but please bear with us as we have a lot to process. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboJoe48336 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Showmasters! I cannot even begin the imagine what goes into organising a convention! Logistically, you are at the 'mercy' of so many variables. Â All I know is this - on the day - despite my own disappointment at guests cancelling - the actual day is always fantastic. Â I like the roller-coaster of guest announcements (and cancellations) - that's all part of it surely!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
