    I attended MegaCon In ******* on 2/8/25. Leap Event Technology was providing services for celebrity photo opportunities. I paid for my event and I missed the time slot due to accidents, traffic and increased crowd attendance. When I approached customer service at the ********************. I was told that I could obtain a refund by simply scanning the ** code and request a refund online. 1 day later I received an email saying that no refunds would given and are non-refundable. No service was provided, No refunded given when offered. I felt that I was misled as a consumer and I am owed my $100 refund.

    This past November 2024, I attended an event called ********************** where Leap Technology was in charge of doing professional photo ops as well as autographs. Opportunity online was available to pre order autographs. They do state refunds need to be submitted Wednesday prior to the event. The event was Friday-Sunday where I attended Friday and Saturday. I had preorders for **** ******* for three autographs valued at ***** a piece. I attempted both days Friday and Saturday to obtain her autograph with my pre-order but Ms. ******* would either arrive late to the event, leave early or the volunteers to the event would stop me from getting into her line. I find this very unfair to the consumer where I had zero warning I might not be able to obtain things I purchased for. Might as well pay on the day of. Leap Technology order numbers are as follows: ********, ********, and ********. I have contacted Leap, they said they wouldn't refund as it was past their deadline of Wednesday prior to the event. I didn't think going into the event I would need to apply for a refund. It was purchased through Affirm, but I feel Affirm didn't do its job to protect the consumer through the dispute process either. I know this is probably a lost cause, but it just seems really unfair as a consumer who tried his best to cash in his preorder. I couldn't attend Sunday due to work obligations.

    Hello this company has many shell companies and has changed it names several times over the years. The names are informa, informa connect, fan expo ********, leap event technology, ticket leap, wizard con, in December of 2023 I bought a ticket to go to the convention in Jan 12th 2024 the event was held and unfortunately there was a blizzard a natural disaster and the mayor *** ******* of ******** in the city put out a warning saying to drop what youre doing and go home. Ive only been at the event and had just got my ticket and had just got my ticket. I tried to talk to staff and they said to talk to customer service because obviously the ******************** was being canceled. After a week of being trapped in my car and the company going against the mayors orders and kept everything going. They forced people to walk in the blizzard no public transport to the convention if they did not do this they got no refund. The company reached out to me after a week and said ticket for next year take it or leave it. I said that was not going to work and if they were giving it to me it was by force. And they gave me a ticket after a few days I said it wasnt going to work and I needed my money back because they promised a safe event and it wasnt. I got a response saying again they dont promise a safe event even though its in there policy and they dont if it was a natural disaster. They then took away the ticket they provided and basically stole my $154.35 the price to go to the event. I tried to reach out again and no response. This company is a scam and intentionally after you pay can take your money and give you nothing in return. Put the safety of others at risk and not care. There is an event happening again this January and snow is already being predicted they are going to scam everyone again and must be stopped thank you. Please call me at ************** or email me at ****************** for more info

    This is a long and confusing story. The big issue is that the refund policy is not clearly stated anywhere on the premises, and going straight to the customer service desk, the logical thing to do, voided my opportunity to get a refund.I was at the Fan Expo Dallas convention on June 9th. Its a pop culture convention where you can get autographs and photographs with celebrities. I paid for a photo op with the actress **** *****. At these events, you don't know beforehand if there will be any restrictions in the photo. Its stated in their terms online if you don't like the photo you can get a refund. In this photo you were not allowed to interact with the actress at all, and the picture turned out awful. i went straight to the service desk to see about getting the refund. I was told since i "checked out", took the physical photo from the print area, i was not able to get a refund. i asked to see the policy and they admitted its not available at the location. i was also told i can't get a refund because i ordered a digital copy. i did not knowlingly order it. I'm guessing that the option is pre-selected and you can't see it when you order on a phone, which you have to do at these events. this also seem predatory.all i want is a refund for the single photo. They invoice doesn't have it broken down, but I believe it was $120. I've attached screenshots of the email receipt. I can also forward the full email receipt and the emails with their customer service if needed.Please let me know if you need any additional information,Thanks,***
