[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5031335, member: 19675"] Was the convention within their legal rights do do as they did? Certainly. But as has been pointed out, just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. The "unvite" is a potentially bad business practice. IME with other conventions (mostly trade shows for jewelry, guitars and the medical & entertainment fields), a retailer with a paid booth who gets relocated usually has either a partial or full refund for that convention. For regular attendees, a discount on the next convention after that is virtually assured- not an "unvite." If you're a pain in the butt, the typical response is you get a worse booth location the next time around...again, not an "unvite." To get an "unvite," you REALLY have to tick someone off. Now, I don't know if LFG had/has a bad track record that led to this, but if I were running a Con in this economic climate, I wouldn't "unvite" anybody willing to pay for a booth. [/QUOTE]
