I certainly hope the people who paid their cash for this get accomodated with either full refunds or an even better showing later with Patrick Stewart.
From the official website:
Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, Patrick Stewart has had to postpone his appearance at this year's Expo. We were informed late last night and at this time are unable to disclose the exact details of the situation pending instructions from Mr.Stewart's team. The show Manager, Aman Gupta, will be speaking to Patrick Stewart ticket holders on Saturday, Aug. 28th at 4:30pm to go over any more details if they are available. Mr. Stewart has promised to return to Toronto to make up his appearance in September 2004 to do something special for his fans. We apologize for the situation, and we hope you enjoy our attempts to enhance your experience at the Expo with the additions of Michael Dorn and LeVar Burton.
