"Damn, working that weekend. May have to try LFCC later, but I've heard it's crowded and expensive " I did lfcc once because Stan Lee was there, but it's really for pic and autograph hunters and can cost a fortune. Plus Showmasters are the worst company I've ever seen and the way they treat their customers is appalling. They'll never get my money again | |||

Unfortunately the only way this will change is if people stop going, but I think we're too polite over here. If fans were treated the same at a US con it would be out of business next time around | |||

Lol that would be fun "Nine World's has been on my go too list for a while along with Easter Con and Fantasy con (more for booky people). Last con I went to was a Starfleet Ball in Bournemouth and had a fun hour with a guy in a Klingon costume. | |||

"With the destination Star Treks (not been to others of theirs) I think it's unfair to say they're solely in it for the money, but the issues def come from their inability to plan shows flexibly. The volunteers can be great (a few can be odd in my experiences) but they are juggling the schedules that are too tight. trying to be kept updated on changes to the day, whilst informing correctly customers and keeping the guests happy. If they spaced things out a bit more and found a way to update the staff when changes happened it would make such a difference. | |||

Packing people in like sardines is never a good idea. As I've booked for next year's SFW I'll get free tickets for SFW in the City in Sheffield this October, hoping that will be good | |||
