We would like to take a quick moment to address the Blackjack Mulligan situation. Back in June we were sent the message Blackjack posted on his Facebook account that he was taking bookings with Barry. We pursued forward with the booking while keeping his health in the back of our minds. We entered into a minimal risk situation with this booking to cover all bases. At LOTR we always take chances to make our show a step above the rest. Life is all about taking chances. No appearance is ever certain until the talent gets off the plane and makes it to the hotel. James has kept in constant contact with BJ over this time and was confident that he would make it. Barry was also confident that he would be able to make it. On August 29 we did purchase air travel for him and Barry. We also were to secure him a wheelchair, transportation to the hotel and a Handicapped room at the hotel.

Approximately 2 days later BJ contacted James letting them know that due to his latest doctors visit that he wasn’t cleared to fly but would be driving up with Barry. We started to make the additional arrangements. I believe 2 days after this which would make it early last weekend he was hospitalized and now unable to travel long distance.

I don’t want to leave anyone in the dark for too long as we are in the process of working our LOTR magic.We are waiting to hear back from Barry as they were a package deal together before we can move forward.

We have been tossing some ideas around but with about a month left it doesn’t leave us with too many appropriate options. In the end I can assure you 15 talents booked on the Superticket. Replacements always disappoint as some might view them as a viable replacement while others will not or have met the guest already. Essentially you are damned if you do damned if you don’t. We do have a few ideas in mind and will move forward with a game plan shortly. As soon as this is sorted out we will contact people individually and process any necessary refunds or adjustments for the customers who purchased extras. Stay tuned!
