lewysdanny Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 So all in all what does this mean ? , as it would be a sad day if we as a club did not have a club stand because of an internal problem with the organisers at Japfest . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 WTH? I take it we'll get refunded. I doubt I'll bother if we don't get a club stand. Good luck getting it sorted guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just awaiting admin confirmation regarding the show, Japfest had pulled the club tickets off sale nearly 2 weeks before the deadline this year due to apparently being "full up", meaning they went off sale just hours after we removed them from the club shop. Weve been battling hard trying to sort this out with Japfest but currently its not looking like good news unfortunately Please just confirm then do we have tickets or not? And does this mean there is not a stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thinking about this if there's no club stand, I'm not parking in the general car park so will want a refund, please could you clarify soonest the situation as the post is confusing.

lewysdanny Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If I,ve read it correctly then we don't have a club stand, just tickets , if this is the case I will not be going either ( which would be a missive piss off ) as this is the best show of the year eagerly awaited by a lot of members on here . So Berg ( or a mod ) can you clarify the situation please . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks for trying to organize it Berg, it's appreciated all the same. It'll be a shame if we miss out but not the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Admins im sure will refund all involved shortly, no tickets will be booked without the stand Theres nothing more we can do, i cant see any reason why they cant squeeze us in somewhere especially as we only missed the booking by such a short amount of time and the fact the tickets were pulled way before the actual deadline with no sign of it becoming full on the website, but reality is, they wont unfortunately. I can appologise to those who were looking forward to it even though its not our fault, trust me im as pee'd off as you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewysdanny Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Berg , just out of interest , don't you think we, as a club, should write a letter of complaint to the Japfest organisers putting the case of, early termination of the cut off date being totally out of order , and a stand be made available to our club, as we have been patrons of this event for many years and, as such thought they would have organised it to a higher standard than they have so far achieved .

As childish as it seems I was really looking forward to japfest and meeting some of you. I feel like christmas has been cancelled. Also lewysdanny I think you should be the creator of the letter.. you seem to be quite good with words lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewysdanny Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Harley, nice one fella . I know there will be a great deal of people both at club level , and outside of the club , that always come to our club stand when at Japfest , who will be greatly disappointed by our absence .

Sean56 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Surely this is one club they would make an exception too? The supra is one of the most loved Japanese cars that people want to see!

C_Strike Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Sigh. Well thats just crap. if I cant stick my car on another stand il be asking for a refund, im not doing general parking. Props for trying to organise it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie-S Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Talking of refunds, as it looks like this is not happening when will refunds be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have asked here there and everywhere about getting onto another stand with no luck. Every stand appears to be full. However if you do find a stand please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 So let down by this actually. Some topclass organisation skills on show by the event organisers. A few compliants on facebook from other clubs having the same issue. Probably making room for even more civics and scoobys for people to say stuff like 'phat' and 'thats sik bruv' at.

downimpact Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 can't help but feel as Dragonball has been given priority that organising a stand for japfest was over looked by the club until late in the day, usually the thread starts in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Jon , I think you have just written what I , and a few others on here have been thinking You would be wrong then. This is why we have Event Organisers so its not just one person dealing with events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I,m not getting into any debate on the wrongs or rights , all I,m saying is that each year Japfest is flagged up on this site a lot earlier, than this year. And as you know we as a club are normally well represented at this event however, this year i put a thread up regarding Japfest on the Wales section a lot earlier than the official thread. Even though I know we have event organisers , my thread was not picked up by the afore mentioned EOs so we could get the ball rolling and get the tickets and club stand booked then confirmed .

The thread still went up in Februrary so it wasnt much later Even though it was left "later" than normal we still had everything ready to book with Japfest 10 days before the actual deadline, the problem being Japfest themselves removed club booking 10 days before their own deadline, meaning us and quite a few other clubs have been left out. Missing the show has nothing to do with us booking late, or Dragonball, the only effect Dragonball has on Japfest is less members would be attending Japfest this year due to it falling on the same week as Dragonball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
