CelticRob Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 What is the other event with similar customers? In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way. There will be little effect having another event in July. LFCC had well over 100,000 attendees and the percentage of those who would pick the Dark side and miss out on attending LFCC 2016 is tiny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube1701 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd be surprised if there's an LFCC in July. There's another major event during the same month and it will attract similar customers. I personally can't afford to attend both in a single month and I know that'll be true for most customers. If they chose to have it the week before or after the competing event, then I doubt the LFCC will sell out next year. Well, they're doing a spring one which is supposed to be Star Wars focused. They'll likely just focus on other stuff at the july one, there's a ton of stuff that wouldn't be represented at that other one. Personally, I'd choose one which focused on multiple franchises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I would go again next year but it would depend on what guests are announced. And if SM do manage to get all 6 halls I really hope they don't oversell it. Use the extra space to make things more comfortable for attendees and have a serious re-think about the layout. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StuartG2198 Posted July 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2015 They are referring to another companies event which cannot be discussed on here I afraid, SM forum rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie138 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 as w/ every one of these, it totally depends on the guests - i don't go just for the sake of going, no even when it's at my home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the advert I don't think its just about Star Wars - guests from the entire saga and tv and film stars etc etc. Two big events in the same month would have one advantage, you will have loads of American and other overseas visitors in London that month, who've never met all the Stormtroopers and other SM regulars many of us met years ago. Besides this Winter's event moved to avoid a direct clash. You can save for two with a years notice. What is the other event with similar customers? In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way. There will be little effect having another event in July. LFCC had well over 100,000 attendees and the percentage of those who would pick the Dark side and miss out on attending LFCC 2016 is tiny. I know people who've never attended an official event who've already bought tickets for it. Last one sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I'm a huge Star Wars fan but I would prefer to go an event that has multiple genre's and/or franchises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Cobblepot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yet to see an official communication on the Forum or Website, but... Spring London Film & Comic Con - 27-28 Feb 2016 Summer London Film & Comic Con - 22-24 Jul 2016 and I expect... Winter London Film & Comic Con - no date yet (typ. Oct/Nov) Damn I was hoping the Summer Con would be the week before that (on my birthday!) This means I'll have to book off more annual leave at work.

Myself and a mate were only there for Saturday, arrived at 9 and got in at 10.30. It was a bit hectic trying to get our bearings and getting worried that we wouldn't get everything done. We did enjoy it and got everything we wanted but you're right 'it was hard work' compared to last year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahariel Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 12 months to go... maybe not get so set on the dates yet . WLFCC this year had 2 date changes so, I might hold off on giving my work those dates to book off till January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter is the week before another convention. Someone has said on Facebook Spring is instead of Collectormania in Milton Keynes, but I don't know if they've been told that or that's just speculation..

defender05 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I saw a picture, I think it was from the program, that said the Spring one was a Star Wars one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
