ATC Announces 2021 Cancellation

ATC Feature rWell, it’s been a sad couple of years for tournaments, to say the least, and we get dealt another blow as ATC Announces 2021 cancellation.

ATC is usually a great event that we all look forward to. This time though we’ll have to wait until 2022 to go, but we know they’ll make it great. It makes sense and is not really surprising, but it’s just really sad to see. If you were looking forward to more Warhammer events this year, it’s not looking great so far. Hopefully, things will pick up soon and we’ll be able to attend events before too long.

ATC Announces 2021 Cancellation

ATCLet’s hear from them about the cancellation:

As we continue to get into this year and closer to July, it is becoming clearer every day to us that we will not be able to confidently or responsibly (for both the attendees and the event) continue to plan for ATC 2021. So, it is with great disappointment that we are officially announcing the cancellation of ATC 2021. We hope that the ongoing effects of the pandemic will be a thing of the past soon, but with the great uncertainty that currently exists it would be careless for us to proceed with selling tickets and asking you to reserve rooms and commit to travel plans as well as for the event to make the commitments and investing the funds that would need to happen that may end up costing both you and us a lot of money.
While this really sucks, it would be wrong of us to think they should just move forward with so much doubt. There’s not much to say other than it’s sad news. Hopefully, we’ll be able to at least get in some Fall conventions this year! Before we go, let’s hear some final words from them on it.

Final Words about the Event

ATCThis is not the announcement that we wanted to make but the current state of things and as always with our top priority being the well-being of our community (physically and financially), makes us believe that cancellation at this time is the responsible decision to make.
We have already begun to secure the venue and dates for 2022 as we plan to bring ATC back as the best ATC ever next year.
We appreciate your understanding and continued loyalty. If you have previously applied your ticket(s) to this year from 2020, they will be moved to 2022 (or any year thereafter) without any issue. Once again, we greatly appreciate everyone who helped us make it through last year by doing this. It will continue to help us make sure that the event returns for years to come.
We hope that everyone is well and we truly hope that we can look back on July this year from a day where everyone can say, “We could have had ATC this year!”, because that would mean that better days have arrived this year and large events are once again happening.
-Shane, Chris, Mel and all of the ATC family
