The L Word Convention Down Under has been canceled due to poor ticket sales. Their website was updated with this message earlier today:

Dear L Word Down Under Convention Ticket Purchasers.

Please note that all ticket purchasers will be processed within 5 daysof the cancellation, (excluding booking fees) and according to theterms and conditions on the website.

For any enquiries please contact info@thelworddownunder.com

The convention had many confirmed guests including Marlee Matlin (Jodi), Rachel Shelley (Helena), Laurel Holloman (Tina), Anne Ramsay (Robin) and Rose Rollins (Tasha). Leisha Hailey (Alice) had also been confirmed but recently pulled out. U.S Comedian Poppy Champlin would have been MC-ing. Apparently premium and earliy bird tickets ($450 and $325 respectivly) had already been sold out, but at a price of $350 it seems that general admission tickets were considered too pricey for most.

The L Word Convention would have been from Friday 22nd - 24th January 2010.
