Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted June 21, 2016 Showmasters Admin Share Posted June 21, 2016 We have spent the past few months arranging guests for the next Autographica taking on board many of the suggestions that have been made on our forums. We do have several big guests we are working on but who are not available over the current planned dates. As such, we have taken the decision to postpone the next Autographica until 12th - 14th May 2017 at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel at Heathrow, London. We know that some of you will be disappointed but we strongly feel this is the best way forward for the show and that it will enable to us bring the best possible variety of guests and put on the best show possible and where there is a greater likelihood of our intended guests being available. We also wanted to communicate this decision as early as possible so as not to disrupt everybody's travel plans and we will notify via the website in the next few weeks should any of our guest be unable to attend the new dates. We look forward bringing you astronauts, military heroes, people of history as well as classic film and TV stars from all over the world to the show and trust that you will support us. Thanks The Autographica Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket7772003 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sad news for some, but from a purely selfish point of view, it's ideal. For those in retail, getting the necessary few days off during the pre-Xmas period (Noc/Dec) is nigh on impossible. Here's to a great show next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecadet is here Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Such a shame, these are great shows, Don't understand why you cant run both.. just get different guests. Oh well have to wait until May now. Hope SM puts on another Winter show to make up the lost of this one... Just thinking out aloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OurDek Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 From a purely selfish point of view this is great for me, I'm waiting for cataract operations on both eyes and they should be around November. This new date has taken some of the worry away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leacroft Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Disappointing. Hopefully this delay will make for an impressive guest list in 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcat Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Now I've booked travel/accommodation well in advance for the original show and I've got my entrance tickets. This is really annoying as I don't think I can get my money back, however with my tickets do they get refunded or can I use them for the May show? Would I have to re-pay for a new set?

Queen_Sindel Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 what can i do with my tickets for the original show (Nov)? Can anyone help me? You should be contacted at the e-mail you ordered the tickets from. Most likely they'll just carry over unless you can't make the new date.

18blue78 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Disappointed not to have an Autographica this year. Fingers crossed the decision results in a better & bigger show in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be contacted at the e-mail you ordered the tickets from. Most likely they'll just carry over unless you can't make the new date. I've had an e-mail telling me than Autographica has been postponed but nothing else about my entry tickets. Not to say if they been refunded or if they'll carry over-I don't know how it works...? Albeit I am still wanting to make the new dates, I want to c if my hotel will change the dates for my original booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I am looking at this as a positive move. Hopefully it will help with SM getting a strong lineup of guests. Edited June 23, 2016 by Tony1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
