I'm so dissapointed.
Its such a joke... everyone who booked this needs some sort of compensation, like a free year in EVE in terms of Subscriptions tbh. MMM can pay.
Sigh.

Edited by: Xicon on 08/06/2007 22:13:14 Allow me to interject here.
The management of a very unfortunate announcement of this nature is most difficult. Email people first, and by the time you are half-way through the list of people to contact there will already be posts on the forum. Announce it publicly and individuals who feel they should have been contacted first will understandably be upset.
Why was there not an official announcement from CCP? Because this was not a CCP-organised event. We have of course consulted CCP over this decission and the conclusion was unanimous. No one, really, is to blame here. Sometimes circumstances conspire against you.
I have personnally written this evening to all people who had purchased tickets (bar possibly half a dozen whose order details I do not yet have). My apologies are sincere and heartfelt.
We are refunding in full all those who have actually purchased tickets to the Awards.

I don't think anyone is complaining about not being mailed first. The issue is that there was no announcement on Eve-Online.com by anyone concerned, it was just dropped on a site that a lot of people haven't even seen before (I ordered tickets and hadn't even seen www.eonawards.com until I saw the cancellation linked, I just got them straight from the link in the Sales Thread, like a lot of people I know did.)
Still, it's nice to get a response eventually. There's an ass load of planning down the drain for everyone, MMM included.
Tbh the Tour de France needs to sod off back to Normandy, it's not called the "Tour de Europe" for a bloody reason.

Originally by: Miriyana Xi, what was the "special" significance of 7/7/7?
It's the anniversary of the London suicide bombings two years back, as well as the fact that the date is 07/07/07, which apparently is really lucky.
Plus the fact that the Tour De France is coming to London over the same weekend.

The Tour de France visit to London was scheduled in a year ago.
The real question here is why the people booking the eon awards event apparently didn't bother checking what else was going on in London on the date they decided on. Pretty basic event planning really.
I feel sorry for everyone who has spent money and wasted time on this.

And why their contracts for lodging, facilities, and catering weren't iron-clad and backed by an army of Flesh Eating Lawyers. Sounds like someone really half-assed the planning phase.

Edited by: Clon3 on 10/06/2007 22:11:37 Question:
Wouldnt it just be bloody easier to move the venue to say.. outer london? e.g. areas such as oxford? Yes yes i know distances. However London has shuttle buses that run every 15 minutes between London and oxford... and it only costs ú12? i think a return ticket...
While this may not be the ideal solution, it atleast.... Doesnt disappoint the probably hundreads of eve players that are coming to london JUST for the eon awards =/...
While time maybe running out, its the least EON organisers can do to solve this mess...

If SirMolle was organising this, the Tour de France would have been mysteriously cancelled.
