Hi guys,
We'll ticket sales have been slow, actually slower than slow...
all in all i think ive sold 11 tickets... The venue hire is $380 so i need to sell 19 tickets just to cover the cost of the venue
There have been alot of forum members who have put in alot of effort in getting the word out with flyers, forum ads, and even tv / radio ads. so heres a huge - THANKYOU!
i appreciate all of that very much.
So im just wondering if any of you guys think you might have any mates that would want to attend? or maybe you have heard something on other forums that people would be interested in going?
its less than a month away and id love to maybe at least double the amount of tickets sold!
Maybe next year things will pick up and tickets will sell like hot cakes... |

Hi Brad,
did you try contacting aussie-nintendo.com ? Awesome website, huge traffic. I'm sure they'd be happy to put an ad on their website for you.. |

Brad, I'll ask my friend who managers the game store called GAME in watergardens to see if he would put up your flyer in the store. Funny thing is his name is Brad as well and loves Retro. he he _________________ Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us |

I payed up about a week ago. I think Brad has just been busy.
On the day if you are short on attendance let us know, I am sure we can pass a hat around to make up the difference so you are not out of pocket Brad. |

Ike - he sounds like a great guy! (nice name)
Also, i have been really busy lately, things at work have been busy, ive had to take my wife to hospital a few times in the past couple of weeks, i'm studying for an assignment, im applying for a new job, were in the process of building a house and the bank is slow to provide the funds for each stage... things have just built up on me lately.
So i apologise to those guys who bought tickets and i forgot to send them, but they are on their way now.
And i dont expect you guys to have to pay anymore for the convention
but thanks for the offer.

Hi Brad, I spoke to my mate Brad the shop manager of Game and he said he wont be aloud to post up the flyer on the wall but said small flyers can be placed on the counter. So I've made 40 copies of your flyer and printed them up in A5 size. Will drop them off on sunday. Hopefully we will get some more bodys going to the convention. _________________ Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us |
