Not sure why you thought that, it says "Delegates can book online using all major credit or debit cards. The checkout system is Paypal, so if you have a Paypal account you can also choose to pay using that."

Yes, I know, but since I have a Paypal account, the checkout procedure recognized me as such and tried to use that. At that point, there was no way to enter new card details. Anyway, sorted now.
 
Everytime I see a new speaker lined up for this, I get more depressed that I have no money and can't go. Is there anyone out there with more money than sense...?

;)

Ok, I'd decided to use Paypal so I didn't see the problem; though I did have some problems when the pop-up window seemed to have an unfortunate interaction with the script-blocker in my browser and disappeared at what seemed to be an important point. Luckily, it then took me into Paypal and everything seemed to go through OK, though I might have missed something.

Looking at the site now, it does still seem to be offering tickets; perhaps this year the venue is big enough to satisfy demand.

There might be some with more money than morals.:cool: What can you offer by way of return?
(Enter several large JOKE smilies here).


Incidentally- anyone know if tickets are transferable, as I may have to back out due to shift changes and I'd be happy for a deserving person to get the ticket if so.

ETA- I think the problem is the PAYPAL radio button is checked by default. You must UN-check it to use a credit card. Bad design.

Follow up on the above. For a reason as yet unexplained, Paypal rejected the payment. As paypal has access to an account with plenty funds to cover it, I have no idea why they would do that.
Anyway, beware the paypal default.
I give up.

Well I join you in feeling depressed that I can't go, but it's because I'll be on my way to Heathrow and then Brisbane.

One thing that makes me smile is that, whenever my screen reader says Paypal, it sounds like papal!

I see that 'two extra speakers' have been booked. Anyone know who they are? I might as well add to my gloom by knowing who else I'm going to miss.

The last three speakers added were Richard Dawkins, Alan Moore (which could be veeeeeeery interesting if he is going to talk about magic and the occult) and Graham Linehan (Father Ted writer).
 
Also "V for Vendetta", "From Hell" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", just to stick to the ones that were kidnapped by Hollywood. (In every single case I would recommend the comic/graphic novel over the movie.)

Melinda Gebbie, his girlfriend and collaborator on "Lost Girls" will also be there.
