JJ Abrams Convention cancelled

i just learnt it :( here the message from showmastersonline.com

hi all

it saddens me to have to tell you that Abrams Inc is having to be cancelled

we had a meeting today to see if there was anyway to move forward on this event and we all agreed that there is just not enough interest in this event

now we had this issues before with the lost event we ran

as lost was the bigger show behind Abrams Inc we felt if it was going to work we needed a big lost name

with michel we had that big name and if it was going to work then this would give it the big kick it needed

but when he was put up as a guest lots of people talked about what a great guest he was but we sold very few tickets of the back of this

we needed more ticket sales to book the next big guest , but sadly that never happened and with only around 67 tickets sold we could not keep this going and have to cancel Abrams Inc

the sad thing is we all here are big fans of lost and Mark loves Alias and we all wanted to run this event

now i know people are going to say we needed more guest from the start but please try to understand if we booked more smaller guest it would not have saved this event and also if we booked some of the smaller guests we would not have had the budget for more of the bigger guests , so really we needed people to book tickets of the big name we put up and then we could go for more guest , but sadly this is not to be

we tried and we so wanted this to happen so we are sorry

we will refund everyone in the next few days for there tickets and hotel rooms will be refunded as well soon

all i can say is we have been holding back on Lost ,Alias ,Fringe guest for all the other shows we run so now you will get to see more guest from these show at Collectormania the like so fans of the shows will get to meet some of the guest in the future

anyway i hope you can see we did try our best and that we are sorry to have to cancel this event

yours
