Wow...what happened? It's a bunch of differing companies but not everything from any one in particular.

I'm lucky that I bypassed on some of these events.

Wow. Some of them looked like they sold all their tickets too. Although there are counter-examples where only a single ticket was sold. 

I don't know. Maybe some didn't have the game masters to run them, others might be unexpected schedule issues. It's anyone's guess. I do wonder if many were cancelled a while back and only got recently processed. Maybe that's one reason? Again, I don't know.

Facebook group mod says it was a lack of GMs... mostly Renegade Games...

Strange - I am not showing that a lot of those events are canceled, and when you check the event IDs, it does not say that the event is canceled. In fact, apparently I can still get a ticket for the ones not sold out.

Usually, when an event is canceled, it will say "WE'RE SORRY, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED" in large red letters on the ticket sales page for it.

Greetings,

While I have not inspected every event listed as "Deleted," I have checked enough to surmise that there is a semantic error in how the information is presented. It looks like this third-party website interprets an event as "Deleted" when it no longer has tickets available, i.e., "Sold Out."

They have not been canceled. Please be wary; this third-party site is not an official Gen Con resource. The Gen Con Event Catalog is always the most current and accurate.

That's what I thought at first, but there are some events on the "deleted list" that still have tickets.

Sorry if I caused any panic. I have brain damage and have started to believe stuff I read on the internet.

Is there any way to search the Gen Con Event catalog online to see events that are new or had dropped tickets?  The third party websites have this functionality, and I haven't figured out a search on the official Gen Con website to do this sort of search.

On the “How to Find Events” page (https://www.gencon.com/gen-con-indy/how-to-find-events) near the bottom is a link to a downloadable excel file.

The rightmost column is “date modified”.  Sort newest to oldest and you will see the newest events, plus anything that may have been changed.

One column to the left lists how many tickets are left.

The page says that the file is updated every 6 hours so it’s not real-time data, but it is a way to see what’s new/what tickets are available relatively easily.

Wow, that’s quite a list!

Looks like quite a few events got canceled! It’s strange since it’s across multiple companies, but not all events from any one group. Glad you dodged some of those cancellations. Hopefully, they sort things out quickly for everyone affected! I also would like to help you by sharing the https://academized.com/write-my-thesis website with you where you will find an essay writer who will write your thesis assignments. I have shared that specific website with you because Academized provides academic support through custom essays, research papers, and editing services. It aims to offer high-quality, original content crafted by professional writers, catering to students' specific requirements for various assignments.

It's important to verify information from reliable sources, especially when it comes to events like Gen Con. Don't worry; it's understandable to feel confused sometimes. Stay informed and enjoy the event!

It seems like a mix of offerings from various companies without a clear focus—maybe it's worth checking the event details next time to avoid confusion. YouTube to Text

Chill guy clicker is a idle game like cookie clicker game.

Some may have unanticipated schedule conflicts, while others may lack a game manager to run them. Who knows Geometry Dash Subzero? I wonder how many of the games were only recently processed after being canceled a long time ago. This third-party website appears to perceive an event as "Removed" when all tickets have been sold out.
