Ticket holder mail

The event has been ’postponed’ and the organiser has run off with thousands and thousands of dollors of fans money. He hasnt been heard from in a month, even by people who were closely associated with the organisation of the convention, and ticketholders havent been contacted. The only way to know its been ’postponed’ is to go to the actual website.

Vendors who were booked for the convention have been contacted and they were told it was cancelled, not postponed so we can only assume that the ’postponement’ was a ruse to get people to give him a bit longer before they started kicking up a stink. I’m a ticketholder, and I’m in contact with many others. We have filed a letter of demand and are in the process of getting all ticketholders to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Trading. The next step is making a police report regarding Fraud charges.
