12/13/2021

Many of us are gearing up to celebrate the festive season but there has already been some exciting news for Amber fans. It’s been announced she will be attending “A Virtual Meet and Greet with The Cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer”. A convention style event being held by convention organiser Galaxycon.

As part of the event Galaxycon are offering fans the chance to purchase one-to-one video chats with Amber, James and Kristine. They are also giving fans the chance to purchase autographs from Amber, James, Kristine and Emma.

Amber Will Not Be Attending The Vampire Ball In London Next Month

10/23/2021

Sad news for UK Amber Benson fans as it was confirmed yesterday, she will not now be attending the Vampire Ball which is due to take place in London held on 5-7 of November.

Amber was originally due to attend the Vampire Ball in 2020, but this event had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The guest line-up from the postponed event was invited back this year.

Event organisers Starfury Conventions revealed on their official Facebook group that Amber was one of the guests yet to officially confirm her attendance at the rearranged event.

Yesterday evening Starfury Conventions confirmed via their official Twitter feed that Amber will now not be able to attend The Vampire Ball. Click here to see the official tweet from their feed.

This is sad news for fans but we hope Amber and her family stay safe, as the world is still feeling the effect of the coronavirus pandemic and of course we hope to see her return to the UK sometime soon.

New Venue For The Vampire Ball Has Been Confirmed/Important News About Amber's Attendance

10/12/2021

Recently I posted an update on The Vampire Ball Convention where Amber is currently listed as a guest. The Vampire Ball will take place on 5th-7th November. I can only apologise for the delay in posting this important news unfortunately I had work-related commitments which have taken up my time.

On Saturday Star Fury published an update on guest attendance at this year's event. At this moment in time Amber's attendance is yet to be confirmed. Please read this full post as I have written more information about this below.

Event organisers Star Fury confirmed that The Vampire Ball will now be held at:

The Marriott Heathrow/Windsor Hotel,
Ditton Road,
Langley, Slough,
SL3 8PT.

For information on directions click here

If you need more general information and/or to book accommodation click here

For more information about the hotel itself click here

To find out more about the Vampire Ball you can e-mail them via the contact button on their website

If and when I find more information about the convention I will post it here as soon as I can.

I’d like to thank fellow Amber fan Samantha for giving me a heads up about this important information about the hotel.

Click The link below to read Star Fury’s update via their official Facebook group. The group itself is Private but any fan can request to join it, I think it will only be visible to anyone who is already or becomes a member of the group.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/107850452574065/permalink/6849178975107812/

In the update they state Amber is among some of the guests who have yet to confirm their attendance at this event. I can only assume this is happening because of the unprecedented situation created by the coronavirus pandemic.

Amber was set to be a guest at The Vampire Ball in 2020 which had to be postponed because of the pandemic. I assume that it is because of Covid 19 that guests have been asked to confirm their attendance nearer to the time of the event.

I want to make it clear here that I'm in no way criticising event organisers Star Fury. I have attended a previous Vampire Ball and really enjoyed my experience and found their event staff to be helpful and welcoming, I know how hard they work to create events for fans. I also don't want to discourage anyone from attending what I'm sure will be a brilliant event. As we are an Amber Benson fan site though I felt it was important to make fans aware at this stage her attendance has not yet been confirmed.

The Vampire Ball Convention Which Amber Is Attending To Move Venues

9/28/2021

As some fans may know Amber is due to attend The Vampire Ball Convention between the 5th and 7th November in the UK. The Convention was due to be held at The Renaissance Hotel, Heathrow London.

I have a ticket for The Vampire Ball and had booked a room at the hotel. Last night I received an e-mail informing me my reservation had been cancelled as the hotel’s contract with the UK government as one of their quarantine hotels has been extended until the end of the year.

There were no updates on the Vampire Ball Website last night, but I spoke to the hotel this morning and they confirmed The Vampire Ball Convention will not be held there and is moving to a new venue. I asked the member of staff at the hotel if they knew where the event was going to be held and if it would be near Heathrow. He had no further information but at this time he did not think it would be near the Renaissance Hotel.

I’m sorry I don’t have anything more definitive in terms of information right now. The reason I wanted to post this was in case there are fans who have booked accommodation at a different hotel near to the convention and were unaware of the change.

In fairness to organisers Star Fury this could be a very recent development and they may be waiting until they have more information before they contact ticket holders. I checked the website today and the venue is now listed as “to be confirmed”. I have e-mailed them via their website.

As and when I have any further information, I will post it an update as soon as possible. I will also be checking their website regularly.

If any fellow Amber fans or visitors to the site find out any new information please e-mail me or get in tough via the dedicated Facebook and Twitter feeds. The links to all of these can be found at the top of the page.

Amber Was The Special Guest on a Recent Episode of Turn The Page Podcast

3/17/2021

A few days ago, I was excited to learn that Amber had recently been the special guest of the Turn The Page Podcast. This isn't a podcast I was familiar with and I was intrigued to learn that it is in fact the official podcast of The Syosset Public Library in Nassau County, New York USA. Their team of librarians host and produce the podcast and discuss all things literary including talking to special guests.

As well as being an author herself Amber has a passion for books so her appearance on Turn The Page was a perfect fit for her. Amber talks about how she began her career as a writer before discussing her own works including, Ghosts of Albion, The Calliope Reaper-Jones Series and The Witches of Echo Park Trilogy.

Amber recalls how her career has an actor influences her writing and how she uses her training to narrate audiobooks for a series of top authors as well as her own work. We get a mysterious hint or two as Amber reveals she's working on a top-secret project and there’s lots more interesting discussion too.

To listen to the podcast in full and for free just click the link below:

I really enjoyed this interesting podcast, it's definitely a must listen for any Amber fan. Thank you to friend and fellow Amber fan Katie for letting me know about this podcast.

3/17/2021

On January 30th Amber joined a number of former co-stars and fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast members as part of an online convention. "Meet The Cast Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer” was arranged by convention organisers GalaxyCon who like others have been holding online events due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Amber was joined by James Masters, Clare Kramer, Emma Caulfield and Mark Metcalfe who played The Master in Season 1. The panel formed part of the online convention and was streamed live. All the guest answered questions from fans around the world who had tuned in to watch. Amber and co also reminisced about their individual memories of the show.

Recently organisers GalaxyCon made this panel available to watch on demand for free via their official YouTube channel, giving fans another chance to see Amber and her fellow cast members.

I have embedded the video below, just click the play button to watch the panel which is
over 46 minutes long.

Please Note: This panel was recorded before the recent serious allegations against Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon came to light.

It's always nice to have the opportunity to see and hear from Amber and I’d like to thank friend of the site Samantha for giving me a heads up about this video being available on demand.

Amber Benson & Charisma Carpenter To Hold A Meet And Greet With Fans Online In February

1/27/2021

There was some exciting news for fans earlier this week as Amber confirmed via her official social media accounts that she and Charisma Carpenter will hold a virtual meet and greet event with fans online in February.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the lives of everyone around the globe one of the many things that has been halted temporarily is traditional conventions where fans can meet their favourite stars. Charisma Carpenter decided to give her fans the chance to meet with her online via the MyCon.live website where fans can buy one-to-one video chats via Zoom, autographs and more.

For this latest exciting event Charisma has teamed up with her fellow Buffy The Vampire Slayer star and friend Amber Benson. Amber and Charisma never had the opportunity to work together on Buffy which is a shame, I think it would have been interesting if Tara and Cordelia had crossed paths. The pair did work together however on a movie, The Griddle House which was released in 2018.

The meet and greet will be similar to a roundtable discussion which are sometimes called "guest encounters" at traditional conventions. Guests talk to a limited number of fans who can ask questions. This event will last for 45 minutes and is strictly limited to just 25 people and it will be held on the Zoom video calling platform. Tickets are still available for this event at the time this post was first published on AmberBenson.TV.

The meet and greet is set to take place on Saturday the 27th of February at 12 PM Pacific Time which I believe is 8 PM GMT in the UK. For full details and to buy tickets click the link below:

This promises to be a fun and exciting event. I already have my ticket and I look forward to seeing Amber, Charisma and fellow fans too of course.
