CREATION’S RULES AND REGULATIONS

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 is from your seats only, don’t rush the stage when guests appear. NO SELFIE STICKS! Please limit flash (which does not make your photos better unless you are in the first few rows) photography. Those with sensitivity to flash please be aware that it does occur. Photos taken at our events are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.

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, scheduling or other issues. Time consuming pose set-ups, costumes and/or props may not be permitted. PHOTO OPS may be picked up in the photo pick up area when available. Full information on when photos will be ready is on a hand-out available in the photo op room. Personal photo-taking is not allowed in the photo op room at any time. Please put cell phones away when you’re in the photo ops room. We try our best to catch light glare on glasses, but it is extremely difficult to detect during the session. Be advised that we cannot be responsible for glare if you choose to leave your glasses on in your photo. Photo ops may be used for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Each photo op ticket can include up to two fans and you are allowed to have up to four fans (two tickets required) in one photo. We cannot accommodate more than four fans in any one photo. If you are accompanying a fan, but will not be in the photo, you must wait outside of the photo ops room unless you are with a minor or assisting someone with special needs, then you may wait on the other side of the room.

3) AUTOGRAPHING: Please have your items for signature out and ready during autograph sessions. Personalizing is at the discretion of the celebrity signing and/or may be affected by guest flights or other scheduling issues. You must bring something to have signed, either from home or an item purchased on site. Photo-taking of the celebrity guests during autograph sessions is not allowed. Only those with an autograph ticket may go up to the autograph table. If you are accompanying a fan, but do not have an autograph ticket, you must wait in another area until the process is finished, unless you are with a minor or assisting someone with special needs, then you may wait on the other side of the autograph area. 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. Celebrities have the right to refuse to sign items that are deemed inappropriate.

4) VOLUNTEERS: 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 Gary know during the convention so they can solve the problem. They can’t help immediately if you don’t tell then on-site when it happens. They’re easy to find. Just ask!

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

6) AUDIO/VIDEO: At the request of our guests, no video or audio capturing or LIVE STREAMING!

7) CELL PHONES: Please turn cell phones off or set to vibrate and kindly refrain from talking when theatre is active.

8) Q&As: 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. If you are in the question line, stand all the way to the side, as to not block the view of others. Q&A sessions start at the listed time and end at the listed time of the next stage activity.

9) AUTOGRAPH & PHOTO OP TicketS: Please purchase autographs, photo ops & printed photos during Registration & Vendors Room hours! Tickets & merchandise will not be available once closed.

10) DRINK RESPONSIBLY: If you plan on having alcoholic beverages during our parties, the hotel BARTENDERS WILL BE CARDING and PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY! Don’t ruin your experience by overdoing it! UNDERAGE DRINKING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. SHOULD UNDERAGE DRINKING OCCUR OR WE BELIEVE IT IS OCCURING, HOTEL SECURITY WILL BE CALLED.

11) PRIVATE MEET & GREETS will almost always start on time and if you miss it, we cannot make up the time. Potential conflicts are posted in the schedule, so PLEASE make sure you follow the instructions in your meet & greet listing. If you need assistance, please let us know! No posting or transcribing of any kind allowed!

12) SECOND-HAND TICKETS: We don’t 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. After that, tickets with the same sku will come up as previously scanned. As of late, there have been more nice fans being taken advantage of when buying secondhand tickets, so please be careful as there is nothing we can do if your ticket shows up as previously scanned.

13) LOST OR MISPLACED ITEMS: As with any ticket 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!

14) CURRENCY: Please note that all expenditures at the convention for tickets, merchandise, photo ops, etc. are 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.

15) HARASSMENT POLICY: 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 firmly believe in the ideals of one of our mentors, Star Trek’s creator, Gene Roddenberry. 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 and hotel security may be called in to facilitate this response. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam or Gary immediately. All of them are available on-site and can be reached through registration or by the convention MC/Host. Issues of this importance should not be handled by our volunteers, as great as they are.

16) SMOKE-FREE: Creation events are smoke-free environments, which also includes the use of e-cigarettes and vapor. Please abide by these rules when attending our gatherings. Thanks!

17) SPECIAL NEEDS ASSISTANCE: If you have any questions, concerns or needs, please find the person wearing the blue t-shirt and they will be happy to assist.

OKAY, THAT’S IT! HAVE FUN!

ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE.

In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation for ticketing.

In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops, Creation will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.
