Many people that live in CA have to work etc during the week and the poor souls flying like me can't afford to change plane tickets and pay for hotels for 2-3 more days so we can make the session.

Don't get me wrong im very grateful vamps is even coming but they should know when they announce something like this its going to get everyone's hopes up and im sure some people have already bought tickets just to attend this session and now they might not get to go..

Another point well taken. But we also have to consider several issues: VAMPS tour schedule, the possibility that it took much longer to organize this than expected (that much is true, I know), and just a whole other bunch of issues. They had been working on this for a while, and somewhat as a last-ditch effort to boost ticket sales because they are not doing well at all.

VAMPS' tour staff also knows that a lot of people would be angry about this and they also know that they can't please everyone. But what could they do? I am not going to pretend I know everything about the planning process of a meet 'n greet session because I don't. I do know that there were a lot of delays in getting confirmation and some other things that were out of the staff's control. They know not everyone can make it, but they believe there is a good number of people who can. Again, I can't express enough how much this news may suck for many of you. Heck, even I might not be able to attend an autograph session. But the bottom line is that it's understandable that many of you (if not all) are going to be pissed. However, again, please consider the circumstances in which these events are being planned.

i bought my ticket as soon as they became available and am surprised they haven't sold out - since when HYDE was here a few years ago tickets were gone as soon as they came out (but maybe this is a much larger theatre than Fillmore/Slim's)

No, see, I completely understand your frustration (I'd probably be pissed myself). However, I just want people to see the bigger picture and perhaps, ease the frustration a little? I dunno...I'm very much stuck in a difficult position because as a fan, I know how disappointing this is. However, when I am given this information, I am obligated to post it. I know it may hurt a lot of people, but it could also be helpful to many. I just want people to see the positive side of this, if any, and try (if at all possible) not to focus so much on the negative.
