It had to happen.
Cruise lines overbook.
Now we've just heard of a show promoter who is overbooking, for the first time, he says. Promoter Steve Jenkins, who runs the Tailgate Antique Show in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as other midwestern shows, told M.A.D. that his February 25-March 1 Nashville show this year actually has a few more dealers than exhibit rooms. The Fiddlers Inn North, the motel site for selling and sleeping, holds 115 rooms, not counting space for sleeping and selling on the parking lot. Since Jenkins has seen no-shows before, he thought to overcome the problem by overbooking, for just a few rooms.
