Going to my first event need advice from veterans on what to bring and what to expect

Going to atlanime fest btw

So I have a question. I purchased an autograph from a consignment. Not a company just a person who has amazing feedback. He’s a bigger person in the consignment business so he has a lot of clients. He got me my autograph and it was awesome he did a great job and I’m very grateful and happy with it. The problem is because they are a bigger consigner I didn’t get to pick my own picture to sign because they didn’t have time and i didn’t get a picture of the actor signing my autograph. I’m happy and grateful for my autograph but a little disappointed in not being able to choose my photo. My question is has this happened to anyone else? Is it better to pick a smaller consignment than a bigger one so it would be a little more personal. Again I’m happy with my autograph I’m just curious. Thanks 😊

EDIT 2027 NOT 2028. Anybody else super sceptical about this convention? I booked a diamond pass months ago and the guest announcements are absolutely shocking. Any else starting to think about dipping out of this one?

Hi folks, I'm a little confused by GalaxyCon San Jose's autograph tier pricing.

When I got to choose my autograph tickets, both the "standard" and "premium" price descriptions for George Takei read

You may choose an 8x10 glossy photo from the table, or have your own item autographed

While other guests have more specific tiers like "8x10" "funko" etc, George just has these two.

Is it safe to say any flat item I have falls under the "standard" tier? I have trading cards and 8x10 photos of my own

HI! I’m going to comic con Liverpool in October, but ive never attended a Monopoly Event before, and had a few questions.

Firstly, the photos. I’ve attended a couple events before (Into The Fold 2&3, MegaConLive Manchester 2025) so know how these work generally. however I have multiple photos with the same actor, each with different props. would I be able to just have all the props on the floor and switch them between photos super quickly, or do I have to leave them somewhere and double back each time? I don’t want to be someone holding up the queue for photos, but don’t want to do something super against their rules.

secondly, autographs. what is the genera rule for drawing / writing quotes on the autographs? I have a habit of asking for the actor’s favourite niche / underrated quote on things, but don’t know if I’ll be told I can’t do this. as well as this, would I be able to ask for the actor to draw how they imagine the character would sign an item, as well as doing their own signature? also, I made an edit of the actor based on a song he suggested on an Instagram live, would I be able to show this? I honestly don’t know how long the interactions are capped at, or whether they’re capped at all.

thank you!

I've already reached out to the organizer to ask this question and didn't get the courtesy of a response, so I thought Id ask here.

I'd like to know if NostalgiaCon Houston will offer autograph ops (paid for by cash/card) or only photo ops for the guestr? Trying to plan ahead.

Thank you

I bought a pack from Amazon, but they’re too flimsy, can someone please recommend hard, rigid photo protectors? I want to be sure my photos don’t bend, etc.
Thanks!

Is there ANY news regarding this topic i really wanna meet the voice actors and just see everything glitch! I live in LA and I wanted to know if theres any confirmation or chance? I know they showed up last year

To be clear, neither of us have been to one before, separately or together.

Obviously some celebs are going to be busier than others, and thankfully the ones I wanted to have a conversation or even chat with (if possible) don't seem to be too popular at the moment (lower costs, not sold out for photos, etc.)

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me or if anyone is going through the same issue with transferring tickets. I bought 3 tickets for myself and two other friends. I see on the LA Comic Con website it tells you how to transfer tickets but when I go log in on Leap, it just shows that I bought 3 tickets. There isn't a place where I can click on to transfer tickets. It only lets me change my order details name and email address. I also contacted Leap support and they basically told me that I didn't have to worry about transferring the tickets as I could just go pick up my 3 tickets when I get to the event. So why would it say that I need to transfer before I get to the event? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I  have quite a few questions about selfies and table photos/autographs so I'll make it easier by numbering them. 

1. Do most talent at Comic Cons that have Photo Ops allow selfies and photos on your phone where you pay at the table or are they all professional photo ops? 
2. With the selfie/phone photos is that the scenario where you can walk up to the table and pay there? 
3. Is that also how autographs work at some cons?   
4. Can you purchase autographs at the table? Or does it depend on the con? 
5. Is it true that some autograph areas are separated from the rest of the convention and at other cons they’re at the table?
6. Would “selfie” be the keyword to seeing if you can pay for photos and autographs at the table?

I try to look online but find it a bit confusing and vague, so that's why I asked here. Thank you for any help and assistance! 

(I hope I put the right post flair since this was more a general discussion as opposed to a specific convention)
