Hi all,

I'm new here and I hate to do this because this is my first post, but I have some constructive criticism for the people who run Gatecon.

First, I think the website (gatecon.com) is sort of designed with previous attendees in mind, with no consideration for people who have never been to one before.

I just recently got into the show...which doesn't really make me any "less of a fan" even if it means I'm a more recent fan.

The site lists out that the SuperPass gets you admission to all talks, sessions, etc., but doesn't give any info on what actually goes on in each of the events, how many there are per day, what the schedule is, etc.

I was looking for this information to try to decide whether or not to attend.

I even sent an e-mail to all four of the Gatecon folks...but nobody wrote back to me. This was my first disappointment, since I figured that ONE of the four would at least give me the courtesy of a reply.

So, not wanting to be a pest, I just waited to hear back, but the next time I checked the website, I saw that the SuperPass tickets are sold out.

And unless I'm reading the site wrong, only SuperPass holders are guaranteed...anything (even though I'm still not sure what's included).

I suppose none of this matters since the Gatecon site implies that this will likely be the last show, but I have to say it's disappointing not to have had access to information that would have prompted purchase of tickets, to get no response from the event coordinators, and now to not have a chance to go at all.

It would have been a good idea to list on the site how many tickets were available originally and how many were left in order to light a fire under those of us waiting for information.

Again, sorry to make my first post kind of negative, and I really hope this is being read as constructive and not a flame. I'm just disappointed that I'm not going to get to take part in something that seems like it would be both interesting and fun.

Lou

I guess you've been unlucky!

I guess you've just been unlucky because I was like you at first and I asked a lot of questions to Rowan and the others to know how the gatecon was working and what was exactly include etc...I got answers shortly after my questions and I quickly made the right decision to buy a superpass ticket. Keep in minf that they get a lot of e-mails. The easiest thing is to go on the forum and ask questions that will be quickly answers and there is already old forums that answered most of my questions.

The problem with that is that their site doesn't say "Have any questions? Get them answered on the ASciFi forums at [blah blah blah]."

On the About Us page are the names & e-mail addresses of the four people who run the show, so that's how I contacted them.

 

[timdgreat]

im actually quite suprised then, thoose 4 people are very helpful and usually awnser emails when they get them, some of them do post on here they may see ur post and get and awnser to why they didnt respond:rolly2:

Yeah, to be honest I'm kinda surprised none of them has responded thus far too, considering at least Allan is obviously active here on a daily basis and Rich posts a lot, too. Oh well.

well for everyone out there who didnt hear there is some good news and some bad news about gatecon

the bad news, we arent going to be able to go on the Studio tour or show the first STargate ATlantis episode,


However Instead of that we are going to get Christopher Judge for a day, and 6 people who win an auction are going to get to have lunch with him at the Hotel restraunt,

so its not all bad:rolly2:
