Right, anyone got any suggests for cheapest places to stay in the relevant area?

Or, anyone wanting to go halves on a 2 bed room?

Travelodge has a sale on at the moment. The North Pier one is only 5 minutes away

Andy Nyman confirmed he's lecturing 'Warlock' & 'Big Reaction' at Blackpool this year. If memory serves me right he was due to perform either last year or the year before but had to pull out with other commitments. Should be good.

His Twitter says Saturday 18th.
Wish I could be there with you lot, looks good.

Hello,

I just bought tickets for Blackpool magic convention online and don't know what will happen next. Will they send the tickets to me?

Also I forgot to put my name in the invoice comment , will that be a problem?

Thanks,


Jonty

As long as you gave your postal address and a name somewhere, Arthur Casson will post all the tickets etc to you.

Uh oh... someone bought the tickets for me so they dont have my name anywhere

Get them to email Arthur and explain the situation, he'll be able to sort things out but don't leave it too long as he'll be up to his eyeballs in last minute ticket enquiries and bookings.

what's his email address?

Hello,

I'm only going to the Blackpool Convention for the Saturday this year ... haven't done that before ... any car parking advice... ?

I feel it could be problematic ...

Steet parking is usually free at weekends but check to be sure, if you find any spaces they'll be some distance away but walkable. There are NCP car parks and one or two other large car parks in the vicinity, Google Maps will probably show how near or far they are.

Should be an interesting time around the World Magic shop stand this year!
