Oh I am so sorry for you! I really dithered over this con, especially as it's so close to me,literally a 20 minute drive. The trouble is I've been burned too many times by actors cancelling at the last minute. I understand why it happens, but it's just all to expensive nowadays to take the chance. I think they book the cons with good intentions, it pays well, travel to a foreign country and it fills in some time in the hiatus, but then some work comes up and they drop the con to do the work. It's a win/win situation for the actor, but a very dodgy one for the fan. I don't blame them for taking the work, but I got mighty tired of paying out hundreds of pounds for tickets and hotel rooms for actors I didn't really want to see.
