Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted December 23, 2014 Showmasters Admin Share Posted December 23, 2014 Due to an issue with the current dates, we have have to reschedule next April's event. Unfortunately we have not been able to secure a alternative date in the first half of the year and therefore the next Autographica Show will take place as follows:- Fri 11th- Sun 13th sept 2015 at the Radisson Edwardian Blu Hotel at Heathrow. Anyone who has booked tickets already for April will be able to carry over there tickets to the new show at no additional cost or if they are unable to attend a full refund can be obtained. We are currently checking the availability of our initial guest line up as to whether they can still attend in October and will update you on this shortly but believed it was best to announce to you all of the date change, before people make plans and commitments. The website will be updated after the holidays with full details of the new show. Thanks David, Jason and Paul Autographica Events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God L'Eponge Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Too late, Eurostar booked already as it's mandatory to book earlie (tickets are being put on sale 6 months in advance!!!) to benefit from reasonable fares. So that's a 83,50 € loss (+/- 66 GBP) Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonightboat Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 What about the hotel booking ?, Will this be automatically rescheduled as i booked the room at the radisson for the previous dates ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18blue78 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Disappointed but these things do happen. I would rather we find out now so plans can be changed. Couple of questions; 1/ Do we need to contact you individually about swapping our tickets or does that happen automatically? 2/ Am I right in thinking there is only 1 Autographica in 2015? In other words are you also cancelling Autographia at the Hilton Metropole NEC in September? Keeping my fingers crossed that Dave Scott & Jerry Ross can still both attend.

denis007 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 As opposed to these fellows, I view this as a fantastic news as I am abroad on this week-end and as a result, I could not have made it! This is the best news for this last day of the year. woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxbanjo13 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 First of all, I'd just like to say that I really love the autographica events, I've been to the last three, and only wish I knew about them sooner. I can't tell you all just how much I appreciate getting to meet all of my heroes, shaking their hands and have them answer questions I've been thinking about since I was a child. I think that these events really do provide us with wonderful opportunities. I'm really looking forward to the event in September, I won't be attending the Jerry Ross event (I'm sure he has remarkable stories to tell but his missions aren't in my area of particular interest). Like flash storm above, I've lost almost three hundred bucks on two sets of flights. It's terribly annoying, I'm not a wealthy man by any means, but I do understand why the dates were changed. However, what's been bugging me the most, even more than the loss of money, is the lack of an apology from Showmasters. I feel at times that we, the customers, the lifeblood of this event, are taken for granted by the organisers. I've spent several thousand euros on these events and dinners and autographs, and I know that this has been my choice, and I don't regret a penny of it. As I've said, I'm not a wealthy man and it's not the loss of money that annoys me, it's the lack of an apology. We all spend such a large amount of money at these events, and the prices have only been rising. So in a situation like this where there has been a double cancellation/ date change, I think that we all deserve an apology. I genuinely am grateful to the organisers for the work that goes into organising these events, but without people like all of us on this forum (I know I'm only new but I've been a long time follower!), there would be no event! I'm looking forward to September, I hope it will be a fun weekend, but I think that for at least the time being, I'm not going to book any more tickets! All the best guys, thanks for listening, sorry for ranting! (I really can't emphasise how much I love autographica!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted February 4, 2015 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hello there With 2 date changes we are still renegotiating all contracts. As soon as I have concrete contracts I will let you know. We will announce extra guests as they become available. Guests are always subject to work and health conditions and with these guys getting older changes to The line up are always possible. The next few months will be extremely busy booking guests and we are already underway. Dave phillips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
