Boston Comic Con on Hold

Posted on by

On Facebook, Boston Comic Con made the following post.

Due to the unfortunate events that have transpired here in Boston, a lock down has been put into effect until further notice causing the Hynes Convention Center to suspend all events. As such, The Boston Comic Con will be rescheduled to a date in the not too distant future. All people who purchased advanced tickets on line will have their tickets honored at the rescheduled show. If for some reason, you can not come to the show on that date, we will refund your ticket.

Please, we ask for your patience, understanding, and cooperation. We appreciate your loyalty, and continued support for the Boston Comic Con. Unfortunately, this situation is beyond our control.

And

For all questions concerning refunds we are speaking with Eventbrite to try and expedite the process. Please give us a day or two to get a handle on it. Thank you.

The convention was supposed to take place this weekend, but is obviously affected by the events transpiring around the Boston area. You can follow them for the latest updates.
