I just hope that Booster Entertainment ends up getting as thoroughally investigated as Detective Stewarts appears to be ... getting...

I really hope that most Flan2 ticketholders respond, others we will never find out if fraud was intended, or we should believe that it was just stupidity.

Whether it was stupidity or fraud, the fact that BE is still selling tickets for future events is what gets me. I don't think they're crooks, but they are completely incompetent. Heads firmly up a$$es and not able to see the signs of their own impending doom, nor recognize the magnitude of what they've done. I don't care about criminal charges, but BE needs to be shut down for everyone's good, including their own.

BTW, this isn't the first I've heard of the fine detective. I've already contacted him and filed a report with my bank to get my money back.

Last I heard, the ability to "checkout" in their online store was disabled, so I don't think they ARE still selling tickets for future events at the moment.

Interesting... I didn't go that far. That's good to hear though!

Well, I responded to the detective's call. BE still owes us for our sizable travel allowance, not that I expect I'll ever see that money.

So if you manage to get money back from your credit card company, and want to donate to the Bedlam Bards' travel fund, drop me a line. Just a few bucks from everyone who attended would be a big help. :-)

Once again, thanks, all you Browncoats who did contribute to the travel fund at the Browncoat Backup Bash. And a huge thanks to the CalCoats who saved Christmas for everyone! You are heroes!

I'm going to watch this thread and if I see that the info re: the Detective is correct and there is no way a scam is being perpetrated, I'll BSC post this as far and wide across the 'Verse as we can get it to go. For my part, I think it's legit, but I want to be sure before I have it posted on all the forums and the yahoo groups the BSC can reach.

Thanks to Embers for getting my attention about this when I've been busy recovering from the awesome weekend we had!!

well I sent an e-mail giving my name and address and total dollar amount paid to Booster,
and I got an e-mail back saying that he would be following up with the precise information he needs later...
I'm expecting that credit card receipt information would be wanted in document form (ie mailed in)
and probably an affidavit form filled out....

I definitely think the detective is the real thing,
I know that at least one person at BE Victims met with him in person (they live in Oregon and filed their complaint at the Ashland Police Dept) and of course Lexigeek confirms that he spoke with the detective on the phone.

I really feel that an investigation is the only way to settle my belief that they knew exactly what they were doing when they spent my money on other things....
