This may have already been posted - if so, I apologise, but there has been a bit of trouble here in the UK about the Angel event in Brighton, where the man himself showed up for a Q&A.
Bizarrely, it was featured on a UK consumer programme called 'Watchdog' - this is what the BBC website says:
"On Tuesday the BBC1 consumer affairs programme Watchdog reported about the organisation of the recent David Boreanaz European Event.
The programme had received a number of complaints from attendees about the event, held recently in Brighton.
Deborah Longman, Kelly Dickens and Donna Brown were all disappointed with the way that the event was run. They complained to the programe about the delay in the event starting and the fact that stewards were not checking tickets, so that those that had paid a higher price for better seats couldn't get them.
Donna Brown told Watchdog what happened when she finally got to meet David. "We were told by stewards, no touching, no talking, he wouldn't personalise, we weren't to speak to him. They were literally shunting us in as fast as our feet would carry us."
Here was Jealous Events' response:
"Jealous Events said that they're not in the business of ripping people off. They're in the business to bring over Hollywood stars to Britain, and despite the problems they say the Angel event was a 'great success'. They do admit there were seating problems. And they admit the stewards were in fact fans who 'volunteered' for the job. They'll now consider reviewing those ticketing and stewarding arrangements."
The report has worried other convention organisers, who were concerned that their events would be tarred with the same brush. Cult are eager to point out that only Jealous Events were criticised by the Watchdog report. "
I wasn't there, but I know someone who went and had a great time! I guess there's no pleasing some people....
