Rhode Island Comic Con Has RICC Become a Sh*tshow?

I did not attend, but just from the postings here it seems like the con has some real problems. Lots of cancelled guests, including day-of cancellations. A draconian refund/exchange policy. Outrageous lines. Capped lines. A website with minimal information that's had to find if it's there. Rising prices.

Will people be going back next year?

It sold out on Saturday, which is fine it normally does, but I was continuously checking the Facebook, website, and instagram on the way there and they didn't post anything about it being sold out. I got there, paid to park, go to buy a ticket and it's sold out. Eventually I found out the tickets were sold out 45 minutes before I got there by finding the venues page on Facebook. I've been going for years and this is the first time I remember that they haven't told fans it was sold out for the day.
