“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you or your family.”
The company said ticket holders can get a full refund from the place they bought their passes.
In a separate statement on the American Ninja Warrior Experience’s website, organizers said the event was cancelled “due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding [the] production.”
Tickets topped out as high as $90.
The live, multi-day event would have featured the same obstacles seen on NBC’s hit TV series.
The event also sold amateur tryout tickets for $120. Those who made the cut would have had the chance to appear on the main stage.
The top six qualifying times from the amateur tryouts and the invited athletes would have advanced to the finals on the main course.
The top prize for men and women was $8,000. Last place would have won $200.
