What the main problems were at this convention were: What do the VIP\u2019s get? As they were promised stuff originally but things were subject to change. I attended as VIP and all we received was a lanyard that said VIP, access to the VIP terrace which was an exclusive area that had a bar where you could only go if you had the upgrade and they got the best seats in the Benidorm Palace, we were sat third table back centre to the stage. VIP\u2019s were promised more than what they got however they did their best and it was a manic event as anticipated. On the first day, there was teething issues and there was a lot of miscommunication however the organisers did do their best to sort it out and I think everyone had a very good weekend.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d28c1e2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d28c1e2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c28ea8\" data-id=\"7c28ea8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db0a2da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db0a2da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What I\u2019d expect next time<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dd6b397 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dd6b397\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-04c0d40\" data-id=\"04c0d40\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-709f75c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"709f75c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If I were to attend a BeniCon in the future if they held one, I would expect that near the time they\u2019d give a clear indication of everything that needs to be booked and sorted as there was nothing in the one I attended and there was nothing worse than the queues as they were right near the Grand Salon.
