FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do all Celebrity Guests sign autographs for all 3 days?
Unless noted otherwise on the Celebrity Page or Schedule Page, yes, Celebrity Guests sign all 3 days.
When will [insert your favorite Celebrity Guest's name here] be signing autographs?
Unless noted otherwise on the Celebrity Page or Schedule Page, all Celebrity Guests sign autographs during open hours posted for "Dealer Room & Celebrity Signings".
I went to get [insert your favorite Celebrity Guest's name here] autograph and they weren't at their table. What gives?
Celebrity Guests are human beings. They have to go to the bathroom, eat, take a break, have a cigarette or attend their own panel discussions & Q&A's. Sometimes they don't feel well. Sometimes they get important phone calls. Expecting anybody to sit in one place for 9 solid hours without a break isn't realistic. Wait a while and check back.
Are there limits to the number of things I can have a Celebrity Guest sign?
Currently, no. This is one of those things that relies on everybody to use common sense and not try to take advantage. Having said that, if you bring a ridiculous number of things to sign that will clearly monopolize a Celebrity Guest's time, Flashback Weekend reserves the right to ask you to cut it out. If the lack of a signing limit gets consistently abused, a limit will be created and enforced.
Am I allowed to take photos?
Within reason, absolutely. Some events and functions may require that you put your cameras away, and certain Celebrity Guests may have specific reasons that they don't allow photography at their table, but for the most part, Flashback Weekend is a camera-friendly convention.
The best rule to follow: Just ask "Is it OK if I take a photo?"
Do all the events on the Schedule Page take place at the convention hotel?
Unless noted otherwise on the Schedule Page, yes, all events take place at the hotel.
If I bought a ticket for Sunday, can I get into an event on Friday? (mix & match as necessary)
No. Your ticket entitles you to attend events that take place ON THAT DAY, just like any other event you buy a ticket for. You can't buy a plane ticket for a Thursday and use it to fly on Monday, right?
Do Celebrity Guests charge for autographs?
Yes.
Do Celebrity Guests charge for photos?
Depends on the Celebrity Guest - some do, some don't. There are also special photo ops that have an associated fee.
How much do the Celebrity Guests charge for autographs?
Celebrity Guests set their own pricing for their autographs, photos and merchandise, so we really don't have a way to tell you ahead of time. The best thing to do is talk to other people who have attended previous conventions to get a sense of who charges for what, and how much.
What's the parking situation like?
The Crowne Plaza has parking for the hotel, but they do charge for it per day. Contact them directly for more information.
