WELCOME TO EVERYONE!

Thanks for being with us! We really appreciate your visit and want to make sure you have the absolute best time! With that in mind a few rules to keep everyone safe:

1) Photo taking from your seats only, do not rush the stage when guests appear. Please limit flash photography and those with sensitivity to flash please be aware that it does occur in the theatre.

2) PHOTO OPS are done on a first come/first taken basis with any exceptions noted within this schedule, including Backstage VIPs who can go first. PLEASE be on time as they move very quickly and once the photo op session is over, we cannot repeat. “Special poses” are at the discretion of the actors and could be based on flights or other scheduling issues. PHOTO OPS may be picked up in the photo op room when available, but not during a photo op session so we don’t interrupt the photographer. Full information on when photos will be ready for pick up is on a hand-out available in the photo op room.

***We try our best to catch light glare on eyeglasses, but it is very difficult to detect during the session. Please be advised that we cannot be responsible for glare if you choose to leave your eyeglasses on in your photo.

3) Please have your items for signature out and ready during autograph sessions. Personalizations are at the discretion of the celebrities signing and/or may be affected by guest flights and other scheduling issues. You must bring something to have signed, either something from home or an item purchased on site.

4) Our volunteers are here to help you and we thank them for doing so. However, if you have an issue with ANYONE or ANYTHING please let Adam or Connie know during the convention so we can solve the problem. We can’t help if you don’t tell us and we’re both easy to find. Just ask!

5) Please sit ONLY in the seat you paid for.

6) At the request of our guests, ABSOLUTELY no video or audio capturing PLEASE!

7) Please turn cell phones off and kindly refrain from talking when theatre is active.

8) ONLY ONE QUESTION MAY BE ASKED TO A CELEBRITY BY A FAN. PLEASE NO PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT YOURSELF, ASKING FOR HUGS, OR TELLING THEM WHY YOU LOVE THEM (that’s why we’re all here!). And please, no BIRTHDAY requests! As you are representing all of us, kindly make your question a good well thought out one and perhaps something the guests have not been asked before. Please, if you are on the question line, stand all the way to the side against the wall as to not block the view of others who are seated.

9) During autographs, if you have trouble standing let us know, if you are in a wheelchair or scooter please go with your row or by your number.

10) If you plan on having alcoholic beverages during our party please note that the hotel bartenders will be carding and also PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY. Don’t ruin your convention by overdoing it!

11) We do not recommend buying tickets from anywhere but the Creation website or registration. All scannable tickets are checked and we can only allow the first one that goes through in. After that copies will come up as previously scanned. As of late there have been more nice fans being taken advantage of when they buy second hand tickets: so please be careful as there is nothing we can do to help you if you have a second hand ticket.

12) As with any ticketed event, we are not responsible for lost or misplaced tickets. We cannot replace autograph or photo op tickets that are purchased at the convention, so PLEASE make sure your tickets are kept in a safe and secure place. THANKS!

13) Please note that all expenditures at the convention for tickets, merchandise, photo ops, etc. will be done in American dollars and will be converted as such on your credit cards. Depending on the rate of exchange at the time your credit card processes, if you are not from America, the price(s) may vary.

14) Creation is dedicated to providing a safe and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind from anyone. Patrons violating these rules may be expelled from the convention (without a refund) at Creation’s discretion. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam or Connie immediately.

OKAY, THAT’S IT: HAVE FUN!
