Meat Loaf London Event Cancelled
 

Regrettably the Meat Loaf Event at the Mayfair Hotel on Tuesday, 9th October has been cancelled due to reasons beyond the control of the organisers.

Marlene from Select has personally tried to contact everyone who had booked to attend the occasion and she has now asked me to post this message here.

Diane

:( Bummer !!

This was the one thing that kept me going and gave me something to look forward to, Damn !!!

Does anyone know if meat loaf may be sick? I sure hope not. :?

im well gutted but at least we have november to look forward to

no hes not sick i think he might be double booked thats what marlene said at the organisers

makes you wonder who screwed up...

Thanks for the reply just wanted to make sure he is okay. We would not want anything happening to him. Still concerts to look forward to. :-)

Thanks for posting this Diane, Luckily Marlene phoned me to let me know this afternoon.
She was very sorry.

Oh well at least there is a concert to look forward to now.

Feleena x

Bad news.

Still plenty to look forward to though we've got the concerts and the DVD release looming!

:twisted: Alternative? :idea:

Well i am well gutted! I have paid for train tix, that are none refundable.

But what gets me is, someone out there obviously couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!

I know Meat is not at fault, i am not having a go at him, but what the hell!

I got an email from Marlene saying she'll take up any request for out of pocket expenses if that helps

Thanks monstro,i appreciate your reply.

I have not received an email yet,it was just a message on me answerphone.

she emailed as my mobile was turned off. I'd ask if I was you, don't ask don't get and all that jazz.

Maybe the fact that, far as i can see, there was no mention of this on .net should've been a tip off...then again maybe not as i seem to find out more announcements here then on the official site.

I feel sorry for all those who had made plans to go, could someone scheduling an event nine days before the European Tour starts just be asking for trouble in the first place?

Whatever happened someone messed up

I think the least the people who screwed up could do, was actually giving the people who made plans a proper reason or explanation why the thing was cancelled, but what do they say? "reasons beyond the control of the organisers"

Will our £75 be refunded?

I hope so:?

i feel so sorry for the people that have booked trains for this event , they should have had meat sign up to it , before they sold the tickets , not saying , they never did , but if you think to yourself this event came out , of the blew it makes you think :wall:

which leads us to believe it could be anything...like the room for the Mayfair was double booked, Meat Loaf already had another commitment, they didn't sell enough tickets or they didn't want to screen it unless RJ was there:D

Someone knew enough about it to try and sell tickets on Ebay.

There's something about any promotion to do with Meat Loaf, over the last few years, that always seems to take a wrong turn.

ha my thoughts all reved up , but people and true fans that have took time of work and , paid out for trains , tickets etc etc , leaves a bad taste in you mouth , ifeel for each and everyone of you , , we will all make the ibils ONE HELL OF A NIGHT :metal:

It would appear so.

or keel over with collapsed livers trying...actually that does sound like a good way to go...

I was told that my credit card wouldn't be charged

I like that thought! they cancelled it because I couldnt attend! lol

but on a serious note:
I'd like to suggest that somehow the article on the frontpage was changed/took off there, as anyone visiting mlukfc.com sees the announcement of the screening as first info.

if anyone is interested Neil is trying to organise a piss up for tuesday night to drown our sorrows he has put it on the Events as he is still coming to London

I feel really bad for all those who paid their £75 to go :lmao:

Pud :twisted:

I feel compelled to reply to this just to set the record straight.

Select, who were organising the Meat Loaf evening at the Mayfair Hotel, are a highly respected and reputable company who specialise in luxury event packages. I checked their website and spoke with them before details were posted on MLUKFC. The package offered to our Fan Club members was genuine and offered in good faith. I can assure you that the people at Select, who have been a pleasure to deal with, are as disappointed and upset that the event has had to be cancelled as those of us, (myself included), who had made arrangements to go.

To suggest that the offer was in any way other than genuine is demeaning to them and MLUKFC as information of this nature is always validated before being posted here.

Diane

Very disappointing for everyone involved. I'm sure Meat will be disappointed too.

Is there any indication from Select that his event might be rescheduled????:idea:

Nothing has been mentioned.

Diane

What a shame, especially as Meat Loaf is in England anyway at the moment as they're playing a private gig in Stoke on Trent tonight, (although the band at least fly home tomorrow.)

It's a lovely gesture by Select to reimburse fans' expenses though.

Fair enough.

I'm sure they were genuine, but I'm still going to suggest that there is a chance that someone on the Meat Loaf side of things was not made aware of it otherwise i think it would've been something Meat and his management would've wanted to promote on the official site since they've tried to hype up this release for a while.

I'm not demeaning anyone, least of all this place since I stick up for it often enough.

Like i said in previous messages I feel sorry for anyone who paid for tickets and organised travel for it

So I was right to just look forward to enjoying it on my sofa on the 16th at home!

I didn't know they had definately said they were going reimburse fans expenses, i have yet to ring them.
I shall be doing that on Monday.
Has anybody had official word that this will happen?

I'm sorry but i doubt it

Interesting, you haven't update the main page with the cancellation...

It is now :)

I noticed Leeds are playing a soccer match the night of the cancelled event, I think I know where he was double-booked :lmao:

Pud :twisted:

I wouldn't have thought it would be rescheduled as there isn't much time in which to do it...if it is rescheduled it's going to be extremely last minute :shock:

Very disappointed it's been cancelled but praise where it's due to Select who, I think, have been great :up:

:lol: Pud, I'd like to think that Meat could turn their fortunes around, but somehow I doubt it ...

Credit to Select and Universal for keeping their word.

Received a package today containing copies of the 3 Bats Ltd Edition DVD and Bat 3 CD as compensation for this cancelled event.

Very cool :cool: Did you get one per person ?

Yeah, got two of everything ... even down to the letter of apology from Universal.

We're gonna be getting used to all this free Meat Loaf stuff arriving in the post!

Nice to know Andy. Still watching my mail box!

Diane

I got my DVD and Bat III album as compensation today :)) !!

It was a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting them, I just thought it was a promo thing :cool: !!

Thanks Select :lol:.

I'm not understanding how people are getting excited over recieving copies of something that they've already got.

Pud :twisted:

so they can sell it on and make money :p
(probably what id do)

Nope !!

I am not selling either :shock: !

Not sure anyone's excited so much as pleasantly surprised that the company stuck to their word and send what they said they would
