:? Well, they already confirned it, I just don't have a link to their FB page. A friend copied their post for me. Basically it doesn't make a big difference for me - he won't be there and we will only get refunds for photo ops and autographs, but not for tickets. I'm angry, especially because I really was torn on going because I dislike the FedCon ppl and their attitude and I only bought a ticket because od RDA.

You're right, Anne ,the most important is that he won't be there and I feel sorry for you , specially for those who were supposed to meet him for the first time and were so looking forward to it ...

OH, Anne and V, I am so sorry the FedCon people have cancelled RDA's appearance in Bonn.

Thank you, though, for reporting this, Anne.

Here is what the link said:

"We regret to advise fans that for economic and financial reasons, Fedcon have cancelled Richard Dean Anderson's appearance for this year's event in Bonn, Germany."

This is just so bad for the people who were expecting to see Richard in person - especially those who were going to see him for the first time - but also for everyone else.

thanks again for reporting this....as bad as it is.

I've just read the FedCon message explaining the whole thing . I owe Mr Paul Brown an apology . Fedcon is responsible and cancelled RDA ! Very mean ! Shame on them !!!

"FedCon

It is always a great pleasure for us to announce the new stars for a FedCon. It is all the more difficult when we have to take back the planned visit of a popular guest. Of course, every effort will be made beforehand to be able to avoid such a step. But that does not always succeed.

We have such a situation today. After careful consultation with the agency, it is clear that Richard Dean Anderson will not be in Bonn from 18 to 21 May 2018. Of course, all already purchased autograph and photo vouchers will be refunded.

As for the reasons, we do not want to talk around the bush. The organization of the star guest visits is almost always associated with very high costs and risks. This requires decisions that have to be made well before the actual event. This is comparable to a high-stakes poker match.

If it becomes apparent that funding is in jeopardy (eg, too low autograph and photo session ticket pre-sales), respond as quickly as possible so as not to put the whole event in a difficult position. As organizer we have a high responsibility towards all our visitors.

We count on your understanding and you can be sure that we will do our best to make FedCon an extraordinary experience."

In Düsseldorf , during the m&g RDA told us he wasn't paid for cons . Does FedCon get a percentage on every pic and autograph ? That's what I'd like to know !!!

Glad you posted that.

I don't know what RDA said at the Meet and Greet, but that statement is not accurate.

I am waiting to hear RDA's version of the FedCon situation, but in the meantime, I suppose I have to take the link off the homepage.

So sorry for all those who had already bought their tickets to go. :(
