The founder of TERRIFICON, has issues a official statement about the return and date change of Connecticuts premiere Comic Convention…
Hello TERRIFICON Fans,
I am writing you this message with much sadness and reluctance, but after a great deal of consideration I’ve decided to postpone the 2020 TERRIFICON event at Mohegan Sun and move it to July 30 thru August 1, 2021.
Since the COVID19 outbreak, I’ve been working with Mohegan Sun to devise ways to guarantee that this year’s TERRIFICON would be nothing but top notch. From safety precautions like temperature checks, masks, hand sanitizer to a convention floor plan that incorporated social distancing, it was above and beyond all the required safety measures.
However, even with all of these precautions in place, the ever changing timeline for a massive public event outlined in the Governor’s four phased reopening plan for Connecticut, makes guaranteeing the ability to deliver TERRIFICON in August uncertain. To avoid waiting in anticipation only to risk disappointing fans, guests and vendors, the decision was made to cancel this year’s show.
When TERRIFICON returns on July 30 thru August 1, 2021, most, if not all, of this year’s already announced guest have expressed their intent to return and meet fans at next year’s show!
TICKET HOLDERS: For those in possession of tickets for the 2020 show, you can return your tickets for a refund at the place you purchased them. If you purchased the tickets online via Ticketmaster you will get an email from them on how to obtain your refund in the coming days. If you have any questions, feel free to contact
the Mohegan Sun Box Office at (860)862-8499
EXHIBITORS; For those artists and dealers who purchased spaces for this year, your paid spots are secured at this year’s rate and will automatically carry over for TERRIFICON 2021. If you would like to cancel your space and obtain a refund, you can do that as well. Simply contact me via email at: Mitch@ctcomicon.com with your business information to begin the process. Please note, that if later on you change your mind and decide that you do want to return for the 2021 event you must submit a new application for the space(s), if they are still available.
On a personal note, I will greatly miss seeing all of you this August at Mohegan Sun. For now, I will continue to post guest announcements and show news on our social media, produce podcasts and of course, be looking for comics at shops throughout Connecticut.
I look forward to the next TERRIFICON on July 30 thru August 1, 2021 when we will once again gather to meet artists, writers and actors and celebrate comic books, TV, movies, toys and more!
Please continue to stay safe, healthy and of course- TERRIFIC!
Respectfully yours,
Mitch Hallock
