How do autographs work on-site, is it timed, or do I show up whenever I want?
Please check in directly at the Guest’s table for their signing schedule to not miss your opportunity for your autograph. Autographs are not a timed event (as it is for Photo Ops) and are first-come, first-served. Prices will be listed at the guests table.
Purchase directly at the guests table using CASH. That’s right most guests still only accept cash as autograph payment. There are ATMs on site but we advise that you bring cash with you.
How do I get a photo or voice recording from a guest?
Some guests will take a selfie with you at their table for a small fee, some for free. Ask them about doing a combo selfie and autograph for the complete mementos of meeting them.
Guest also participate in Professional Photo Ops to ensure you capture the moment in the best possible conditions. A highlight of attending any convention.
And some of the voice actors will record a greeting for you on your phone that you can replay over and over again. Perhaps they will provide you with a personal message to motivate yourself, a voicemail recording to let your friends know you are away or a birthday greeting to your special friend.
WHAT ARE PHOTO OPS?
- Get the perfect pic with your fave Celebrity Guests taken by a professional photographer.
- Each Photo Op includes one 8×10 printed photo and a link to download the jpeg.
- You can bring up to THREE friends and share the cost of the Photo Op. You can purchase additional prints
- Photo Op space is limited and tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Any remaining Photo Op tickets will also be sold on-site at the show. You can purchase Photo Ops with cash, credit card or debit card at the Photo booth.
- Photo Op schedule: Will be released closer to the event day. Photo Ops are typically schedule to occur between 12pm and 4pm both days. Your fave celebrity will participate in their session some time during those hours each day.
- You do not need to line up ahead of time for your Photo Op. Photo Ops are sold per session as opposed to per Guest. There will be a limited amount of Photo Ops per session. Once a session sells out, you can purchase Photo Ops for the next open session, if available.
- Photo Ops will be available to pre-purchase online. It is highly recommended that you purchase your Photo Ops in advance. If you wait to purchase on-site, then you run the risk of the session selling out.
- Only a limited amount of Photo Ops are available per session. You only need to line up for your Photo Op 5-15 minutes beforehand. Lining up more than 15 minutes prior to your Photo Op will result in security asking you to leave the area until it is time for your Photo Op.
- Please do not be late for your Photo Op – Once the Photo Op line is finished, the Guests leave to go back to their Autograph tables or to take breaks. If you arrive after the scheduled start time, and the Guest has left the area, no refunds will be available.
