The sales representatives from the company promised us the following:
Plenty of free entertainment for all ages (There was an empty stage)
25,000- 35,000 shoppers and sold tickets (I believe a total of 28 tickets were sold)
Santa's village and photos (No Santa or Village)
Winter wonderland (None)
Games, rides, raffles (None)
Exotic petting zoo (None)
Pony rides (None)
Over 250 booths (We counted 104 and we were all charged different prices for the booths)
They said that exhibit hall A and C were full so we would have to go to hall B (The other exhibit halls did not exist)
They said KIIS FM and ABC would be there filming (They were not there)
The produceres of the show were nowhere to be found. Not on location nor through phone. They could not be contacted. The phone numbers that I had were no longer working when I attempted to call them. IEM basically rented out the hall and that was it. No promotions, not signs, not marketing, no customers.
There will be a news report airing this evenning at 5pm or later on Channel 2.
I want to reachout to all artists who participate in conventions to be very critical of the shows you sign up for.
This experience was a loss of energy, time, and money.
