[ Dear Manifest... ]

I can barely write with out adding adjectives that would make this post R rated.
However, I'm not one to take bull lightly, and so I will make my case known.

In short, I guess you could say that I was ripped off by Manifest (Melbourne Anime Festival Inc). After paying $200+ and getting a confirmation email, we were then told "sorry, you don't have a

Avi told me that Henry was sending out invoices and confirmations without even checking that there were enough tables. That's why there is this issue.

I think if it's first come first served then the fact that they send you an invoice should mean that your spot is secure.

How are things going now?

i don't really know, they're still trying to organise my table.
GOD. Taking forEVER.

they'll give us the table for $700. i might try and bargain some more or just not bother at all.

That is so misleading! Ugh, so stupid.

Manifest is in shambles I think.

$700 is still $500 more than what's due to you. Have you found someone to share with?

You still going through VCAT or CA?

[shadlez]

It's not misleading, it is plain as day lying.

We can FIND people to share with... but i don't really want to pay them more than the $200 I already did. since i had nothing to do with their crappy organisation skills.

I'll go thru CA cuz vcat doesn't seem like the place for this sort of complaint. I always thought VCAT was more for negotiations.
