This past weekend was supposed to be a joyous occasion for fans of Sons of Anarchy as many of the stars of FX’s biker gang drama, which aired from 2008–2014, were scheduled to take part in a 3-day reunion event at Space City Comic Con in Houston, Texas. However, attendees experienced a disorganized convention with “long lines for VIPs, panels canceled, and photo op tickets not being honored.”

“It was a truly insane show,” a source for Bleeding Cool reported. “I don’t know everything that happened but people definitely were scammed, money seems to have been stolen, celebrities fled, the staff may not have been paid, the cops were called on the cast of Sons Of Anarchy, and a lot more true weirdness and pandemonium at a sparsely attended show in a huge convention hall.”
Ava Jade, a journalist and field reporter for GSS, was on hand and was able to obtain even more details on what transpired.
“Upon arriving at their hotel, the cast was told that the credit card provided by the promoter would not be accepted, it would be cash only for their rooms,” she reports on her website, officialavajade.com. “When they arrived at the convention, Charlie had it out with the promoter to get to the bottom of it. He took his check to the bank to cash it, because he knew something was up. There he found out that the check that was given to him was written from an account that had been CLOSED. This happened to the entire cast. Many of the actors went to the promoters office to demand payment, where the promoter ended up calling the cops because he was ‘being held hostage.’”
