Chakotayfan100 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Can't showmasters just hold Milton Keynes Collectormania at the Centre:MK Shopping Centre? as that's where it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPPiE13 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They moved from there for a reason I cannot remember at present, but there is a reason they are not there anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well basically it had outgrown the shopping center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPPiE13 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well basically it had outgrown the shopping center. Are you sure it wasn't because they needed tighter security for when Ben Browder was a guest and you were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I wasn't around during the shopping centre days but I heard there was an issue with photography there as well? As in you're not actually allowed to take photos inside the shopping centre for some reason but again as I say I wasn't actually there when it used to take place there so this is just stuff I've heard.

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 27, 2016 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 27, 2016 The show is now far too big to go back to the Centre. This was true even before they made it about 15% smaller by moving some of the shops forward into that space. There is no way we could run our event there now.

CHAPPiE13 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) You got your location wrong - Ben attended the first event at the Stadium. Hence why they had to move. They knew the shopping centre couldn't handle your fangirling ways if they got Browder Edited January 27, 2016 by CHAPPiE13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I believe another company uses the NEC so may have an exclusive contract for these types of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPPiE13 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Venue issues at both MK shopping centre and 2nd issue at MK Dons stadium i think there is no way that CM24 will happen unless SM could try and go down the road to Birmingham NEC Birmingham is not exactly "down the road" 70 miles and 90 minutes by car Edited February 20, 2016 by CHAPPiE13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony1975 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I believe another company uses the NEC so may have an exclusive contract for these types of events. Star Trek Destination Europe is at the NEC so can't see any reason why Collectormania cannot be there also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Trek Destination Europe is at the NEC so can't see any reason why Collectormania cannot be there also. Same reason as for the ExCel being used for prior Destination shows, but not for LFACC. An official event is different to a crossover signing show. It all depends on how the existing contracts are phrased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.fids Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Lack of financial incentive... a sad day for one of the best cons that Showmasters did... all these new ones may compensate.. But for this 10 yr veteran.. this is not good for the people who have helped make SM what it is today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for this 10 yr veteran.. this is not good for the people who have helped make SM what it is today.. TooTall has already posted earlier what there's currently issues preventing SM to hold the event there. If it was just financial issues that would have been the most easy fix - never mind that if I go by the complaints of some people about the show in the last years the plug would have been pulled way earlier if that was it. There's apparently way heavier issues going on behind the scenes. Collectormania has always been the original event, and thus something really had their hearts set on. Not having it was a decision that can't have been taken lighthearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
