The StarVerse

First they made us wait ages for information, then they had been vary about the little information they gave. (like some time at the end of 2014)

Suddenly, 5 days ago, comes the info that the con in fact will take place and that it will be at the end of April. Like everybody has time in April, right? No obligations for school or college or university to attend - noooo. (working people have the chance to get holidays that’s why I’m not including them)

And of couse there is nooo trouble with arranging flights and accomodation at such short notice. Not to mention that this could get way more expensive when not having the chance to book this stuff in advance.

Yesterday the ticket sale starts and the prices are like out of place. Basis tickets are fine but you get nothing for them. You want to gave a great con-feeling?-Pay 200£ upwards.

As someone who’s not living in the UK and who cannot afford a weekend-trip to London, “Sherlocked” was never an option to me. However, I feel incredibly sorry for everyone who does have the opportunity and cannot attend the event due to the insane high ticket prices. What kind of insane human being would expect from an audience that consists mostly of young teenagers (majority might even be in college/uni) to pay £3000 to meet their favourite TV stars in person?

I get that they are famous and that they don’t exactly have a lot of time to do this kind of stuff but they should remember that WE - the FANS, the YOUNG TEENAGERS - and our support made the show as popular as it is. It’s not fair to demand of us to pay such huge amounts of money and expecting us to be thankful for it! We’re not some insane crazy fans who’re desperate for every tiny bit of attention the precious cast may grant us. Sorry Sherlock-Crew but this Sherlock Convention is no Thank you to the fans. It’s just another cheap and disappointing way to make money out of something for as long as it lasts.

If you want to thank us then please release tickets for mortals who’re actually able to afford them! Maybe - over all the glam and awards - you forgot that not everyone out there earns millions of pounds and if you create a TV show for a young audience you should keep in mind that we don’t have the money people with actual jobs have (and even they cannot afford buying a VIP-ticket).

It’s not always the most dedicated fans who’ve got the money to buy the most desired tickets and you’re causing anger and disappointment by treating fans by the size of their purse. You air three episodes every two years and we’re okay with it because we love the series but with things like “Sherlocked” you ruin it because you cause envy and disappointment throughout the fandom.

It’s sad to say but I’m also disappointed in the attending actors playing along. How are you living with the knowledge that people spent £3000 on a fifteen minutes meeting with you when you forget about them the minute they close the door behind them? What kind of conscience do you have to justify that this is somehow okay?!
