Autographs

​We are excited to offer the opportunity for our fandom friends to meet their favorite celebrities and receive autographs. Please review the autograph guidelines below to get ready for a smooth meet and greet experience. 

​​

Autograph Tickets

• Admission: To participate in Autograph or Photo Op sessions with our guests at Gem State Comic Con, you must have a valid admission ticket for the same day as your session or a Forever Pass. Please note that admission is not included with Autograph or Photo Op tickets. You will need to purchase your admission separately either online in advance or at the door during the event. Autograph tickets are only included with certain Exclusive Packages, as specified in the package details.

• Pre-purchase: For select guests, autograph tickets must be pre-purchased online, and these tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Autographs for other guests will be available for purchase at the convention on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

• Redemption: Pre-purchased autograph tickets can be redeemed at the celebrity’s designated autograph booth during their scheduled signing times. Be sure to check the schedule and arrive promptly to ensure you receive your autograph.

• Pricing: Autograph prices are at the guests' discretion and subject to change. 

• No Refunds: All autograph ticket purchases are final. Failure to redeem your autograph ticket does not qualify for a refund.

​

Signing Sessions

• Schedule: For pre-purchased autographs sessions, signing times will be posted on the convention website and social media, as well as onsite. Be sure to arrive at the autograph booth ahead of the scheduled start time. If you have a pre-purchased timed autograph ticket, please be sure to redeem it during your designated signing session. If your autograph ticket is included with an exclusive package, you may redeem it during any of the available signing sessions. Guests without pre-purchased autograph sessions will be available for signing during regular show hours, with reasonable breaks taken at their discretion. For specific signing times and availability, please visit their booth during the event. All signing session times (for both pre-purchased and sold onsite autograph tickets) are subject to change. 

• Cut-off Time: Signing sessions will end at the posted time. Due to time constraints, there is no guarantee that all attendees will receive an autograph.

• Line Management: Please respect the line queue and follow staff instructions. Holding spots for others is not allowed.

Items for Autograph

• Approved Items: Celebrities will only sign approved items, including official photos, posters, merchandise, or personal memorabilia. Guests reserve the right to refuse to sign any item. Signing of specialty items (e.g., Funko Pops) are at the celebrity's discretion and may incur an additional fee. 

• No Body Signing: Celebrities will not sign body parts or inappropriate items.

• One Item Per Ticket: Each autograph ticket entitles you to one signature on one item. Additional items will require separate tickets.

• Personalization & Inscriptions: Personalization (i.e., writing your name) or special inscriptions (e.g., quotes, messages) are at the celebrity's discretion and may incur an additional fee. 

​

Photographs

• Autograph Only: Autograph sessions are for signing items only. Personal photos or selfies with the celebrity may be allowed at their discretion, depending on time and availability. 

• Photo Ops: Professional photo ops are available separately. Please refer to the Photo Ops section for details.

​

Behavior & Etiquette

• Respect & Courtesy: Please be respectful to the celebrity, other fans, and convention staff. Any form of harassment, inappropriate behavior, or misconduct will result in immediate removal from the convention.

• Keep it Brief: To accommodate as many fans as possible, interactions with celebrities during autograph sessions should be kept brief. Refrain from extended conversations or requests that may delay the line.

• No Recording: Video or audio recording of autograph sessions is strictly prohibited.

• Gifts: If you wish to present a gift, please do so at the guest’s designated booth during the signing session, keeping interactions brief to accommodate other fans in line. Guests are not required to accept gifts, and it’s at their discretion whether to accept or decline. Please respect their personal boundaries and wishes. All gifts must be appropriate and in good taste. The convention reserves the right to refuse any gifts deemed inappropriate or offensive. Due to space limitations, large or bulky gifts should be avoided. Please keep gifts manageable and easy to transport. Gifts of food or drink are not permitted.

Special Accommodations

• Disability Access: Attendees with disabilities will have priority access in the autograph line. Please notify staff if you require assistance.

• Families/Groups: Families or groups of up to four people may approach the autograph booth together. However, please note that the number of autographs received must match the number of autograph tickets purchased, not the number of individuals in your group.

• Children: Children under 12 may accompany an adult with an autograph ticket and admission ticket and do not require an admission ticket.

Celebrity Availability

• Schedule Changes: Celebrities' appearance schedules are subject to change or cancellation. In the event of a cancellation, autograph ticket holders may receive a refund or exchange for another celebrity (if applicable).

• No Guarantees: The convention cannot guarantee that all ticket holders will receive an autograph due to the celebrity’s time constraints or other unforeseen circumstances.

​

Security & Enforcement

• Staff Enforcement: Convention staff, venue staff, and third-party security staff reserve the right to deny autograph requests, remove attendees from the line, or take other necessary actions to maintain a safe and orderly environment.​
