We have been waiting for this news for some time – until it is too late, negligence one of the biggest comic book conferences in the world had a look. But now it's official: San Diego Comic-Con is not going to happen in 2020.
Confirmed press release today-in the light of an ongoing covid-19 epidemic and California shutdown orders—for for the first time on its part-history of the century, San Diego Comic-Con has been canceled openly. Instead, the show will return July 22-25, 2021. The same has been done This year's WonderCon, scheduled to take place in Anaheim on April 10-12; , is set to return March 26-28, 2021.
The cancellation of the SDCC is another a long hold of summer meeting time, such as postponement and clear cancellation as the novel's distribution continues worldwide a meeting back a meeting they are scrambling to reconcile what is now a global problem. That skepticism joins the process of delays and cancellations, according to a Comic-Con International statement, carried out in the hope that things will be back in the summer months – a very realistic one. it is no longer the case.
"He recalls that most attendees save and plan for their annual meetings, and how many viewers and participants rely on its events for the most part of their lives, hoping to delay the decision thinking that COVID-19 concerns could be reduced over the summer," the statement read. health advice and recent statements made by the California Governor have made it clear that it will not be safe to continue this year's programs. "
What it means right now is that Comic-Con International is facing a comprehensive process of implementing refunds and hotel reservations for people who have already booked accommodation. and tickets for this year's event – something they would be doing months and months in advance, the annual tradition of rushing to host hotels and tickets made well before the scale of the epidemic.
In the ticketing process, current SDCC 2020 badge holders will be notified “within the next week” how to request a refund of their 2020 ticket or transfer their badge to Comic-Con 2021, as the exhibitors will show. At that time "within the next few days," according to a statement by Comic-Con International, Peak, a joint venture of hotels in the conference, will cancel and return all reservations made for its service, with no action required by people without expectation. notice that their refund is complete.
Apart from these steps, it means that these announcements and upcoming events in the SDCC 2020 are yet to be seen – as the crown jewel of a pop culture calendar, is often one of the major events of the year with major issues in the field of entertainment. Directors no longer have that area to share (even if they can, considering the ongoing epidemic a.
