Autograph and photo sessions have to be booked separately. Please, check if the celebrity is available on Saturday, Sunday or both days, so you can book for the day the best works for you.

 

Booking an entry ticket to the con is a must, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter even if you have ticket to meet celebrities. You have to book your entry ticket separately.

 

Autographs

  

Autographs will be signed at the guest signing table.

 

Some autographs can be purchased online in advance, while others have to be paid at the table on the day.

You have two options:

 

1. A selection of printed images will be available to choose from at the guest’s table (size 8×10). You can choose the one you want the guest to sign.

 

2. You can bring a personal item to get signed. Please, note that you can request the guest to write a quote or the name of their character on your item, BUT it’s entirely up to them if they wish to do that.

 

 Photographs

 

Photographs will be taken in a pro photo booth. Only two people are allowed in the photo booth with the celebrity, however, kids ages from 0-4 don’t count, so you can have a photo of two adults and an infant, for example.

 

When actors and actresses are from the same film, there are options to take photos with your one ultimate hero together or jointly with the other actors (duo, trio or all of them).

 

You will receive a printed copy of your photo on the spot, and a digital copy will also be available within a few days after the show.

 

You can also instantly put your photo and/or your autograph in a professional photo frame or autograph frame to protect it from damage and serve as a lasting memento of the event (it’s an add on!).

 

Certificate of Authenticity

 

Certificate of Authenticity can also ‘add on’ to your autograph purchase to prove this is an original autograph from the celebrity. It includes a sticker and a certificate.

 

Certificate of Authenticity cannot be purchased for photographs.

 

For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi is a one-of-a-kind pop-culture fan convention where legendary actors, actresses and voice actors come under one roof to meet their fans.

 

If you haven’t secured your tickets yet, this is your sign to do so!
