Murph Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well if it's for certain all is good I'll just get either Mads or Famke. Or both....*bank account screams in the background* Both is a solid plan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2016 This close to an event, I'm sure people realise it's very difficult to find replacements, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

RoryMcGarrett Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I will replace him. Some make up and beard and I am good to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy270492 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 true... just hoping for the best and preparing for the worst :) either way its a great line up... but never any harm in hoping you guys manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bank account would have a heart attack if I tried to buy diamind passes for both. I usually just go for photos anyway as I'm awkward and never know what to say 😶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like we haven't got much left is it.. I think most people here are just dissapointed and are hoping that either A. Ron is able to make it anyway, as if by magic (or perhaps by magic?) or B. You guys are able to conjure up an equal big star in less than a week. I personally have a ton of guests to meet, but Ron cancelling (if that happens) is a real punch in the gut, since he was THE guy for me to see. These are the sorta things that can happen. Atleast I'll have 160 quid to blow on something else.. how's your red light district? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2016 Of course, we're all disappointed if this turns out to be the case. Just managing expectations :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenun Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well ... my Con plans were staggered over three days. Friday was Gemma Whelan and look round the Con. Saturday was all over guests but one. Sunday was Ron Perlman. Now Gemma has cancelled Friday and Ron has cancelled completely. Which means my Saturday is going to be very busy and the other two days very empty ... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 can I just ask, and im sure a lot of other people will want to know. how quick are we looking at getting refunds for the diamond pass? ive got lots of free time now for more photos so when I get my money back im going to buy quiet a few photos :) not all bad. im gutted as ive been waiting since jan for this. but im going to try make good out of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy270492 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) i think we have the extra problem of it now being weekend...we know SM dont typically work weekend. Whilst i may be wrong, i would imagine refunds may not start rolling out till beginning of next week Quite amusing though... QS told me panics never happen on this forum until Friday Nights, its why the mods come on over weekend. turns out she is right lol Edited July 22, 2016 by smithy270492 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Also they won't do the refunds until they know exactly what's happening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenun Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I would imagine the weekend before their biggest show of the year might be an exception to the "not working at weekends" rule. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2016 As I'm sure you can imagine, 'working' comes in many different forms, and actually it's probably even less likely they'll be online this close to an event! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy270492 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) in their defence, they probably left the office at 5pm feeling pretty pleased with themselves. guests sorted, schedule released, magazine sent to printer... i bet one of them even jinxed it with a "we are really organised this year" comment. then only a few hours later... tada! a certain excrement hit the fan Edited July 22, 2016 by smithy270492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyggebjerg Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Correct. Once all is confirmed then that process will start. Once the process is started, what are we looking at? 3-5 business days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2016 Usually quicker than that these days I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
