Badge holders will be eligible for full refunds and details on how to request those will be sent out soon as well as information about purchasing new badges. The following message just went out to RTX attendees on Twitter:
“We have not finalized all of the details to announce, but the news is out. #RTXAustin is moving to Labor Day weekend (Sept. 5-7, 2020). We will offer refunds, and your current purchased badge will be valid for the rescheduled event. All details will be coming soon.”
In addition, on March 11 we posted a message about RTX which included information about how we will be enhancing safety for attendees:
“In order to ensure a safe event experience, we are working with the city of Austin and maintaining communication with local health agencies to meet their high standards for health and safety protocols. We are training and preparing to implement additional precautionary measures at RTX such as increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of commonly touched objects like door handles, placing prominent hand sanitizer stations throughout our venues, and placing educational signage reminding attendees to take precautions. In addition to meeting the standards set forth by the city of Austin, we are also holding ourselves to the strict standards set by our parent company, WarnerMedia, who have already implemented several new policies in the last month to protect our staff at Rooster Teeth.”
