【カルデア広報局より】(1/3)— 【公式】Fate/Grand Order (@fgoproject) June 10, 2020
8月10日(月)に開催を予定しておりました『FGO Fes. 2020』は新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大防止の観点から来場者・出演者・関係者の安全を第一に考慮し開催中止を決定いたしました。楽しみにされていたみなさまには深くお詫び申し上げます。
The published statement states:
Thank you for your continued support of Fate / Grand Order. Regarding the event that we planned to hold at the Tokyo Dome on August 10, 2020, we have decided, in consideration of the health of the attendees, staff members and the audience, as well as to prevent the spread of COVID-19, definitively cancel the event.
Currently, the directives proposed by the government establish that even after August, massive events will only be able to host 50% of their original capacity. Since this event had already sold 90% of its tickets, and after a discussion about possible event planning under these directives, it was finally concluded that the latter would be impossible.
We sincerely apologize to all those who were eager to attend and would appreciate your understanding of our decision. Additionally, refunds will be delivered as of today, and we will publish the information about it later.
