This is a bit of a joke really isn't it?
Thats 800 sterling ill have to work to get back.if i add up time spent getting this sorted , time booked off and time spent sorting this out again.... At my rate of pay 3 12hr days off, 4hrs booking....4hrs sorting this out even if i do get that cash back im still about 900 sterling down.
and the intrest base is definately there,im half tempted to try to reorganise one in time...
what a joke
just anyone else replying ,out of curiousity, post how much money you had tied up in this thing i'd like to see the scale in which this has messed with people
I'm lucky I didn't have a ticket, but god this is pathetic. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have probably been lost because of this.

Can this get some glue paste for a while, till a proper announcement comes out. I'd hate to think people are still organizing plane tickets and such.

I'm not one for having a go at CCP or MMM because best part of the time they do a kick ass job, but this is beyond a joke.
The most annoying thing for me in this to be honest is that the announcement was made on the OFFICIAL GAME FORUMS by a PLAYER, not a member of CCP or MMM.
There's no news announcement, no sticky thread by someone from CCP with confirmation and instruction how to get a refund, nothing.
Had maruud not posted, a fair few people might not have noticed for a couple of days and possibly missed out on avoiding cancellation fees.
This comes after the final voting was postponed for more than a week without anyone even posting regarding what or why.
Communication between CCP and the playerbase has been completely shocking over the last couple of months.

That EON announcement doesn't even mention the date of the cancellation. It should really start "city, date:" or similar.
The 7th July is the 2nd anniversary of the London bombings as well by the way. Not sure what's going on in terms of rememberance.
Amazed it has only been mentioned so close to the time.

I know, but with any luck, you guys should be able to cancel your flights and get your money back. Its just the effort to organize everything that goes to waste for the people who have been looking forward to this.

Edited by: Takahashi Arran on 08/06/2007 18:18:39 oh dear that majorly sucks. I was going to go buy a ticket tonight - luckily i live a bus journey away not a flight but its still lame.
The ticket price was probably also to blame though I imagine it scared alot of people off.
Still my advice to all those who bought flights ect is not to let it go to waste if you can;t get refunds but to instead go to london and have a night out with a load of other eve players.
It might not be the awards but I still think a big party in london with a load of other eve'ers would still be good fun. I'm sure we can find a decent party place to yarrr in.

I'm sure the award winners will love being awarded their EVE award in a cardboard box by the DHL/FEDEX/UPS Delivery guy at his doorstep. NICE one wow! The prestige of it all .

No Offence, but that doesn't tell us any more than whats on the EON Awards site. Are we going to automagically get refunded the ticket amounts, or do we have to contact you? I'm assuming people that have other expenses will have to contact you.

Will you be refunding the added costs that people paid based on what you were supposed to organise for them to go towards attending?
i.e. Unrefunded Train Fares/ Airline Fares?
Unlikely!

I also think you are very wrong here. You guys pay these guys to a do a job for you. Yes they didn't do it properly and that does reflect badly on them, but so does it for you. ***** your whip harder next time or maybe you should find a new publishing house.

You'd think people would consider actually booking the venue before announcing the dates and selling tickets.
There are hundreds of solutions to a seemingly simple problem. Here are a few:
1) Stay away from the central London area, hold it 30 mins away by train. Surely the further you go from the core, the easier and cheaper it must be to find a venue.
2) Delay it by a week or two.
3) If you find nothing that works, go to Hyde Park and we'll have an outside BBQ!
It really sounds like somebody just gave up and said '**** this, I'm done' here.
A lack of funding? Don't think so. A lack of dedication? Maybe. A lack of caring? Probably.
Disappointed.

At teh very least I would have expected an email from them letting me know instantly they realised they*****ed up and cost me nearly ú200 in flights which I cnt get back. Though I believe I will get my hotel booking refunded.
How do you get the tickets refunded is it done automatically, or do i have to email and ask for it back
thats right I need a new sig |
