wait (2)

Hmmm Wait Listed.....

Should I be flattered or disappointed?  As a "newbie" to the art fair circuit, I guess that I should be pleased that I have been accepted to most shows that I have applied for and I have been wait listed for a couple of really reputable shows...My question is.... does anyone know the percentage of artists that get wait listed for a show and what are the real possibilities of getting accepted once on that list?

We all like to receive those E-mails or letters starting with the following:
"Congratulation you are accepted to our show".

Did it ever happen to you what have happened to us? Please comment!!!

This is the second time within 6 month that this is happen to us:
We apply to a show for several years, get rejected or to the wait list if we are lucky,
and than finally, get this "Congratulation you are accepted" e-mail or letter
one of them was even with a contract and booth number.
Then when you are all excited and get ready, to finally participate,
maybe cancel another show you got in,
Comes this e-mail, with an apology:
We are so sorry, we made a mistake you are actually on the wait list.

This is not OK!!!!!!
