Earlier this evening, the City of Milwaukee has set their response to COVID-19 to tier 3 which includes the cancellation of large gatherings over 250 attendees. As a result of this action, we are no long able to hold the Midwest Gaming Classic as scheduled on April 3-5 and the show is canceled.

The Midwest Gaming Classic exists because of people like you and we thank you for supporting us and our vision. We hope to continue building a community for gamers to share and celebrate the love of gaming with you. While we are devastated by the loss of this show for this year, the health and safety of everyone involved has remained our largest concern.

We will communicate further information, including how to process refunds, as it becomes available. If you have purchased any items in advance, please watch your emails for direct updates.

While we are disappointed that the show will not exist in 2020, we are excited to be able to return in 2021.

We wanted to give you a brief update about the Midwest Gaming Classic due to the recent uncertainty caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We have been working with local health and government officials, and together we believe the Midwest Gaming Classic will proceed as planned, with additional precautions based on the current best practices at the time of the show. If there are any changes, we will communicate with you as soon as possible.

We understand people may be concerned about buying tickets for the event due to this uncertainty. To ensure that you feel confident in your purchase all tickets sold for the 2020 Midwest Gaming Classic that are unused will be honored at any future Midwest Gaming Classic event – no expiration. Additionally, all Midwest Gaming Classic tickets are fully transferable. In the case of a cancellation, refunds would be offered.

We thank you for your continued support.
