ACE Universe was expecting big things for its May 20-22 comic con in Boston, Massachusetts. Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, and Chris Hemsworth were among the stars scheduled to attend. The event was nearly sold out. Then came the coronavirus and cancellation. Now comes one of the first lawsuits by an entertainment promoter over the fallout from the pandemic. It will hardly be the last.
GrowTix provided the ticketing services and event management software. According to the complaint, GrowTix was to be compensated based on a percentage of sales, and the two companies had an agreement with each other covering the processing of refunds in the event of cancellation.
But less than a week later, continues the complaint, ACE received a letter from the chief of GrowTix' corporate parent Patron Technologies "advising it that it was not only withholding the money transferred to it for refunds, but was also demanding more money from ACE in regards to its own fees."
Still no word from GrowTix! In response to the article and not even a reply to my email inquiry! You can’t stonewall everyone forever! 🤬
Wow. patrontech sucks balls if this is true. Stealing people’s refunds during a pandemic. Can’t get much lower... acecomiccon
