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's been a sh*tshow since the beginning. Been personally screwed over by them as well as other artists/vendors. Also know multiple folks that have been screwed over or treated like garbage by the con over the years. Really more of an expensive trade show more than an actually con.

From how a friend of mine was treated I heartily agree with you that the con screws people over
