Ace Comic Con has announced their Boston show will not be occurring as originally scheduled March 20-22 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. They are working to reschedule the event with the venue and expect all refunds to be made within the next 30 days.
The Ace Comic Con Northeast lineup had some of the biggest names from Star Wars including the first convention signing appearances for Ewan McGregor and Keri Russell. Other Star Wars signers included Hayden Christensen, Matthew Wood, Ray Park, Tiya Sircar and Taylor Gray.
Below is the full announcement from Ace Comic Con.
“To our valued fans, friends, and partners,
ACE Comic Con is an extended family. We feel like we know each one of you personally, and as much as we make you feel welcome into our lives a few times a year, you have been gracious in return. Yesterday, a State of Emergency was called in Massachusetts, and after many hours of consultation with the BCEC, a city owned facility, it was determined that running the event at its regularly scheduled date/time is not possible due to “force majeure.” We are working with the BCEC to reschedule the event, and we will do our best to bring ACE Comic Con Northeast back to Boston Strong!
We feel for anyone and everyone affected by the COVID-19 virus. Stakeholders in events like these include the fans, hotel employees, airline workers, city and state officials, security firms, car services, caterers, union workers and hundreds of hundreds of workers that put months and months of sweat and hard work into pulling these events off, our own staff included. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy, and to those already ill, we wish a speedy recovery.
Due to the volume, we expect you will receive your full refund within 30 days. We appreciate your patience and understanding. ACE Comic Con remains committed to its next event scheduled at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center on October 16-18, 2020. As we have done in the past, the goal is to provide you the greatest event ever, run by people who are as passionate about you! At ACE, you don’t just meet your heroes, you meet your superheroes! And we want to provide you with the absolute best experience you’ve come to enjoy. Please be thoughtful and understanding when posting on social media. Kindness in these times is invaluable.
Thank you and see you in October!
Warmest Regards,
The ACE Team”
