Rooster Teeth has Moved RTX to Labor Day Weekend Because of COVID-19
RTX is the yearly convention for all things from RoosterTeeth and they recently announced that the event has changed dates because of COVID-19. Originally planned to take place between July 3-5, RTX will now be held over Labor Day weekend, September 5-7. This clearly has many fans upset as it can be hard getting refunds for travel expenses such as plane tickets. However, the bright side is that Rooster Teeth is offering refunds for the event itself and will honor badges already purchased, so there’s no need to repurchase a badge for the event.
In addition, Rooster Teeth made a post earlier in March about making sure everyone is safe at the event and they reiterated the following statement:
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.
