Slayercon 2005 Cancelled (Adelaide, Australia)
Posted by Mark on May 24th @ 23:54
[ATTENTION AUSTRALIAN VISITORS]
[I recieved this email today, This is a copy and paste.]
[Start of email]
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. Just thought I'd let you know, maybe you could put something up on the site to let people know. Its been over for almost a month and we are still hearing from people almost every day who have only just found out, so anything you could do to spread awareness of the disaster its become would be greatly appreciated!

Thats two conventions in the last few months were someone has ran off with the money to the buffy events. The HUSH convention and now this one.

Apparently it has been confirmed that the organiser, and sole holder of all the ticket money took flight to the U.S.A. after announcing the supposed ´postponement´.
So if any of y´all meet an Aussie Buffy fan named Edward Schumacker, kick him in the nuts for me, ok?

I have only just found out this event isn´t going ahead. Grrr..... Does anyone know who the person is that´s organising the complaint to the Department of Fair Trading? I´d really like to get in touch with that person as I need to try and recoup hundereds of dollars.
If that person happens to see this, please contact me on analternativeangel@dodo.com.au.

Hi I also had tickets for this event and would like to know who to contact at the Department of Fair Traiding and information about pressing charges. Because I would really like to be involved.

Before purchasing the tickets I did check that the people he said would be there were scheduled to attend so I am furious with this.


Mark please get back to me if you read this as I would really like to be involved with the process. I am owed $365, and I have $45 in cancelled airfare and accommodation, I know there are many more people out there that are owed a lot more.

Thanks Louise
