Amber at British Convention & European Tour

[LilacWine22]

hi all



bugger i missed this i usally watch it too damn it kicking self





thankyou to flying poppy for posting their statement



i was laughing my arse off at it for example...

"THERE WERE SEATING PROBLEMS

they were not the only problems,there were many i could list but i would be here all night



"THEY HAD FANS AS STEWARDS" that's right blame other people for your mistakes,considering they were trying to be as helpful as possible( from what i saw) even though they themselves didn't know what was going on



oh and my fave

"IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS"

if that is the case why did they get bad press in the papers,why have so many people complained, why did they end up on watchdog??

if that is their version of a great success i shudder to think what their version of a great failure is.

The Amber fiasco wasn't mentioned in the report. It might be worth people who signed up for that dropping a line to Watchdog, theres nothing they like better than finding out a 'one off' problem is actually a pattern of behaviour.

Willow: ...I have to tell you....

Tara: No, I understand you have to be with the person you l-love

Willow: I am

Watchdog convention report

18 September 2003



On Tuesday the BBC1 consumer affairs programme Watchdog reported about the organisation of the recent David Boreanaz European Event.



The programme had received a number of complaints from attendees about the event, held recently in Brighton.



Deborah Longman, Kelly Dickens and Donna Brown were all disappointed with the way that the event was run. They complained to the programe about the delay in the event starting and the fact that stewards were not checking tickets, so that those that had paid a higher price for better seats couldn't get them.



Donna Brown told Watchdog what happened when she finally got to meet David. "We were told by stewards, no touching, no talking, he wouldn't personalise, we weren't to speak to him. They were literally shunting us in as fast as our feet would carry us."



Here was Jealous Events' response:



"Jealous Events said that they're not in the business of ripping people off. They're in the business to bring over Hollywood stars to Britain, and despite the problems they say the Angel event was a 'great success'. They do admit there were seating problems. And they admit the stewards were in fact fans who 'volunteered' for the job. They'll now consider reviewing those ticketing and stewarding arrangements."



The report has worried other convention organisers, who were concerned that their events would be tarred with the same brush. Cult are eager to point out that only Jealous Events were criticised by the Watchdog report.

hi all,



The department of Trading and Standards got intouch with me about what happen with this event,

They said that J.E are being investigated about this matter and they gave me an address to write directly to Glenn Dellimore,

they said that if anyone has complaints about this

to write directly to him and note all the expenses that you had to pay out for this event including tickets, hotels,travel expenses etc and why you thought you didn't receive your moneys worth,

and if you have not got a reply within 14 days you can take this further.

so i thought id post this up for anyone who had problems with this event or if you know of anyone who may need to contact him or if you think false adversting took place.
