cultman1 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 as a dealer no one came round with forms or info for next years show. Also there were no flyers so who knows. Maybe 2019 tenancy issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravogd Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I don’t think there’s any problems but with attendances dropping at a lot of these regional events they probably just don’t want to 100% commit to anything a year in advance. I’m sure they’ll analyse whatever they need to analyse and announce the dates some time in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hope they announce them soon I've been to every show since they began but sadly I couldn't make it this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we don't know how easy or difficult it is to get the big names north of the wall (pardon the GoT pun) and what it costs too, but big names = big crowds pretty much every time. Then everyone wins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracis Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I agree. My boyfriend and I have been going to Glasgow for years and SM were doing great job building it up but sadly its slipped the last couple of years. We usually have an early bird ticket but given the first photoshoot between us was 3:55pm, there was no point so we just went for general entry. I completely understand that SM have to make every event as great as possible to make it fair but just worried that is being done at the expense or sacrifice of other shows. Plus dont want to risk losing the only Scottish show. The only plus side of the show being quiet was we got a good look at all the stalls and great merchandise for sale. However, if the stallholders dont make a profit, they wont come back either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravogd Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A lot of the regional shows seem to be in the same boat. Everyone is correct, big name guests bring people out but they also cost more up front with no 100% guarantee so it's a vicious circle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
