Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted October 31, 2014 Showmasters Admin Share Posted October 31, 2014 Unfortunately due to work commitments, Carice van Houten can no longer attend Cardiff Film and Comic Con. Refunds will be processed today but the funds can take 5-10 days to reach your account depending on your bank. We hope that Carice will be able to join us for another event in the future.

DookuDub Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 There's still Jason Momoa and a number of other cast members going. True. I wonder if we will see Carice at another event at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted October 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's impossible to do that. We've had guests announced and cancelled within 24 hours. It's like people ask for contracts to be unbreakable, and that'd mean guests would never sign up because work will ALWAYS have to come first. Unfortunately it's a risk we all have to play in attending these events. It's always going to be disappointing, but in the end their work is why we want to meet them in the first place.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we will see Carice at another event at some point Well the good thing is this shows she's willing to come to one when possible, so I'm sure SM will get her when it works out.

Moderators StuartG2198 Posted October 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2014 Just heard about Carice cancelling through a friend, sad news!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 it's always a shame when guests cancel but we have to look at he positives that we know SM are in contact with her and are booking her for events :) Hopefully she'll be able to make it to anther event soon :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw499 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I know this isnt the rule and I understand why but I've always felt that cancellation from a headline guest should be accompanied with the offer of reimbursement for tickets no longer required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The definition of a headline guest is extremely subjective. Not saying Carice isn't one - but if SM would start doing that they'd have to do general refunds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw499 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I've always maintained that the whole "big guest" thing isnt really that subjective - I'm not going to name names in case anyone is offended by their status as a small guest. The pro-subjective argument always seems to centre around a "there are plenty of small guests that I want to meet" mentality. Thats fine, there are lots of small guests I want to meet too. But this doesnt make them big guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
