um, are you insa.......wait, yes - that is the price of the tickets - be sure to join the choc-chip convention next week, hosted by me and HypoThesis. And yes, you are allowed to pet the flying elephants after the expo is over.

i'm sure blu would of been a lot more p1ssed off if she got scammed out of R37 500 - she probably lost about R7,50 - anything more would cause the opening post to contain multiple F* words.

The chocolate festival was supposed to take place 20 - 22 March 09.

Got e-mail from the organisers saying it has been moved to February 2010.
NO reasons given.
NO undertaking to refund people who bought tickets.
This is NOT how you communicate with the public in a professional way.

I smell a rat. A chocolate-coated one :mad:

If Blu lost R37,500 it would have required it's own "rant" section, let alone thread...

R37500?... Seems like there's a sucker born each minute and a extreme one each day :D

I'd have commandeered you to lead the pitchforked mob in hunting down the organisers.

And I'd have congratulated them on a job well done when I found them. Then let the mob have their say, just for the sake of a youtube video...

Thats a lot of money to spend on chocolate!
Firstly I would give them 7 days to respond to your email/calls/communications, I would then send them a lawyers letter and if there was still no response I would go to the police and open a case of fraud.
