Raylenth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Will I see you there as well this year QS? Unless the sky falls down on me or something like that yes. Yay, looking forward to spotting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Slightly nervous that the prices reflect certain people aren't coming but only time will tell. Scratch that. Same price as last years so here's hoping! It is but I think I'll wait for a 'lead guest' before purchasing a Platinum pass. I know it's not what you mean but Mark is a Lead guest.

No, he's not who I meant :) but the ticket pricing leads me to believe that there's no way, at that price for Platinum, that we're getting BC and MF. I am hoping for MF and AA as 'lead guests' since I did Platinum last year for BC. It's expensive to fly to London from the States... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They are indeed, like I posted above I thought they weren't but I've still got last years tickets in view in my Eventbrite account and the platinum price is the same this year as last year. Unfortunately it's just a bit 'worrying' that neither has been announced as obviously they are the guests everyone wants and at £600 we would expect at least 1 at that price Given that neither was announced I for one am a little worried but we can only wait and see. Quite a few people will hold off buying tickets I'd imagine until we know one way or another. Especially with the US one going ahead as well, a lot might hold off to see if they will attend that one.

Raylenth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I always ask my sister to help me and try at the same time as for the last few Ben related things I've wanted tickets for the website has crashed straight away and she has always managed to get through before I could, and sometimes I've not been able to get through until ages after her. I had her on the phone at 12 and used the link from the email so got through immediately; I said basically said to her 'oh, thanks but you can go now!'

Queen_Sindel Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That's what we did last time too. Countless meltdowns ensued. But back then it so wasn't funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascendant.angel Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Booking my ticket was a breeze compared to last year, totally stress free, even on a small screen. I think I had my ticket before it hit 12:01 really wasn't expecting that considering my experience last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think The Pink Lady hit the nail on the head when she said that people are holding out to see what happens which meant the system didn't get overloaded. A lot of attendees more than likely read the announced guests first before decided whether to buy or not and in the absence of Ben or Martin are waiting to see what will happen. I went and bought my ticket straight away too and was also pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, especially so because already being registered with Eventbrite I really didn't have to do anything, confirm my debit card, click on the acknowledgement and done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF is filming starting Sept, and he's the only person I'd travel to London to see (even if MF was announced for London, I'd be worried he might cancel), so I'm counting on the US con being a date and location that I can attend. Now I'm really getting antsy for the promised info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) If he does do the US one and isn't at London I'll shell out for the send in service probably(if there is one). Not the same as getting to meet him but don't think I can justify going to the US one as well! Edited February 1, 2016 by Raylenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhw Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm already travelling to London for the UK event, but going to the US event as well will depend on where it is (because a flight to New York isn't much cheaper for me than it is to London even though I fly past it on the way to London.) But if Martin is announced, I'd probably book a flight to the moon to get to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slhomitz Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So, I just need to get out some frustration. The US Con info has not been updated for over 2 months. Questions and comments from US fans (admittedly, they are mostly negative comments) are being deleted from the Facebook page and not addressed otherwise. I cannot justify the expense of attending the London event without Ben or Martin being there. Seeing as both of them are filming new projects starting in September, I cannot see how either of them will be at the London con. Does anyone really believe, after what happened last year and what's happening now, that there really will be a US con, even if it's in early 2017?! I'm ready to give up and spend my money elsewhere. Anyone have encouragement to offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The last update is from February 25, which is six weeks and not "over two months". http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91298 Unfortunately sometimes venue negotiations take time, especially if very likely the schedules of two very busy actors have to be taken into consideration.

That was posted on Facebook on February 2nd. So, it is over 2 months. I'm sorry, but just continually telling us 'it takes time' is not very reassuring.

Queen_Sindel Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 This info went out by newsletter on February 25 again, so it is still the latest update from that date. SM have clearly said they can't give more info at this point: "until things are signed, approved and the dates match we really can not reveal anything more at this point." So any update by SM would be the same I have posted anyway, negotiations are still ongoing and it takes more time than inititally expected. I don't know what exactly you expect that is more reassuring, sorry. The event has not been abandoned, the office is still working on it. Is this the reassurance you are looking for?

Yes, an official statement that the event is still being worked on would be more reassuring, thank you. Just reiterating the same information again on 2/25 is not really an update, imo. The fact that they are ignoring and/or deleting comments on FB is discouraging. The fact that they have given us no real updates for weeks is discouraging. Why is it that no one there seems to understand this? I appreciate that you responded to my post, so thank you again. In any case, I have decided not to chance London, and will spend my money on other US cons instead of waiting for a Sherlock con in the US. At least I was lucky enough to be in London last year for an unforgettable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
