"Allons-y" to Chicago TARDIS 2021!
Now that the dust has settled from our 2020 virtual event and the year is new, we wanted to give you all an update about our plans for Chicago TARDIS 2021.
Keep in mind that any of our plans can change quickly, but we are hopeful as we look toward the months ahead.
Please read this post in full for information on our current 2021 plans, including ticketing info, hotel info, and more. As usual, if you have additional questions that are not addressed here, you can always contact us.
What are the current plans for Chicago TARDIS 2021?
At the current time, tickets are on sale for an in-person event planned to be held from November 26th - 28th at the Westin Chicago Lombard - our host hotel for some years.
The current determination for this type of event relies heavily on the discretion of our venue, the Westin Chicago Lombard. Much like last year, our venue will not be able to make a final determination about our event until summer 2021 at the earliest. Because of this current stance from our hotel, we are planning an in-person event for the fall of 2021.
This determination may change based on the restrictions of our venue and the evolving guidelines laid out by the state’s Restore Illinois plan.
What happens if Chicago TARDIS 2021 is postponed?
Upon the determination of cancelation due to the restrictions of the Westin Chicago Lombard and the State of Illinois, Chicago TARDIS would embrace a virtual format once again.
The structure of this virtual celebration would be discussed publicly at the time of this determination.
Tickets would once again be rolled over to our 2022 event, and all prices would be rolled out in the same manner as we have done in the past.
What will Chicago TARDIS 2021 look like if it is in-person?
With the quickly changing landscape due to the progression of events that have recently surrounded COVID-19, we cannot make a distinct statement about this at the current time. However, any policies and procedures we may enact around an in-person event will be in the full interest of public health and abide by the guidelines as outlined in the Restore Illinois plan and the rules of our venue, the Westin Chicago Lombard.
We hope to have a clearer picture of this by summer 2021.
What are the status of memberships for Chicago TARDIS 2021?
All those who purchased Chicago TARDIS 2020 tickets when available were rolled over to 2021. If you still have yet to receive your confirmation of the rollover, please get in touch with us.
Reserved, Priority, and Weekend General Admission memberships for Chicago TARDIS 2021 are now on sale. We will be honoring the pre-sale prices that were first rolled out on Sunday afternoon of our 2019 convention until the end of March 2021. After that, prices will go up slightly as they have in previous years. Information on these pricing tiers and the perks available with these tiers can be found here.
Single-day General Admission tickets will be made available as the year goes on.
When can we expect hotel reservations to open?
We will be opening 2021 reservations during the month of March. Please be sure to follow our updates via e-mail and social media for when these become available.
