If I've already bought (probably non-refundable) plane tickets to fly to a conference, and I get an email a week before the conference saying it's canceled, I'm going to be very mad, even if I get my conference admission money back.
- Cmccann7 16y agoI would be mad one way or the other too, but if I got some sort of notice in time to cancel I would be happier than getting no notice until I show up the day of. The problem is hoping some miracle will happen in the last week and it turning into a disaster like this.
- jackowayed 16y agoOh, I agree that a week before is better than when I've already flown there. I'm just saying that you really should aim to be sure you can do it months in advance, save for smaller events that really are just drawing people from a specific metropolitan area.
