CT2K8: Oct 7 Update
Well, we're plowing into the meat of the convention planning season now. I come to you today with several things to announce:
MODIFIED REFUND/ROLLOVER POLICY
The deadline for getting a refund for this year's convention has already passed. I wanted to let you know, though, that the rollover policy now has a deadline as well: November 1. If you find you have already paid for this year's Chicago TARDIS but can't attend, please let our membership coordinator know at membership@chicagotardis.com. You'll be able to rollover this year's membership to next year's con, with only owing any difference in prices. (i.e. if you paid $50 for this year, and next year's same membership costs $55, you'd owe just $5.) ***You have to let us know by November 1st, though!****
SPEAKING OF MEMBERSHIPS...
We're getting close to selling out of Reserved Seating tickets! If you were thinking of getting a Reserved seat (which gives you an assigned seat in rows 2-5 for the weekend, plus a special Thursday evening reception with the convention guests and priority in lining up for photographs/autographs), you might want to get your ticket NOW!
For those wondering, here's what the At-The-Door Prices will be:
Reserved Weekend: $135 (if available)
Weekend: $95
One Day: $45
HEADS-UP FOR SUNDAY
We've just found out that Elisabeth Sladen will have to leave before Closing Ceremonies on Sunday, as she has to be in London on Monday. We're hoping we will be able to get in everything we need to get in with her (brunch, autographs/photographs, panel) before she has to head for the airport-- but at this point we can't promise she'll be able to do everything expected on Sunday.
CON SCHEDULE?
A preliminary weekend schedule should be online by November 1, thanks for asking.
