I'm not bothered whether they run the show or not but I am annoyed that they didn't seem willing or able to clarify where or whether the event will take place.

I don't think I'm being rude at all; at least not so rude as someone who can't be bothered to answer emails asking simple questions whilst still making people believe they're running the show.

I assume that neither of the last two posters have ever been to the show so they've little or no idea of the format its taken over the last deacade or so.

If Sheehans can make money running a concert, they can surely make money charging people admission to a show wher most of the displays will be provided by the manufacturers.
