Easing restrictions and changes in guidelines for public events have benefited patrons of the upcoming Huntington Comic and Toy Convention at the Mountain Health Arena in Huntington.
âI have had to tell people that tickets were sold out,â said Jarrod Greer. Greer, who, with his wife, Jaime Greer, hold the annual Lexington Comic and Toy Convention as well, said he has done everything possible to adhere to the public health guidance because the safety of his patrons are the most important thing to him. But as restrictions are easing up, he is free to do more.
âAs of right now they are letting me sell an additional 500 tickets per day,â Greer said on Tuesday. âI asked for more, but I was glad they allowed me that much. And it is changing rapidly, so by next week more might be available. I will do my best to let everyone know of any changes on our social media sites as soon as I know.â

The COVID-19 pandemic has done a number on entertainment venues over the past year-plus.
âThe live entertainment industry was the first to shut down,â Mountain Health Arena Director Cindy Collins said. âAnd it will be the last to fully reopen. Being a multi-billion dollar business, it was very hard hit.â But Collins said the industry began immediately to make the necessary changes and adaptations, using the enforced down time to plan for when and how to reopen. Collins said those plans were made from a global perspective, with information gathered from multiple countries.
Mountain Health Arena is owned by ASM Global, a management company that covers five continents and 14 countries with more than 300 venues worldwide. It is now open and is the site of live shows again.
