Updates to the Autograph Policy

Post by eevee »

We have updated our Autograph Policy this year, including the locations and availability for pick-up. Be sure to review the following highlights and well as the rest of the autograph policies to ensure that you are able to obtain your autographs from your favorite guests!

> Passes for guest autograph sessions are free and can be picked up between 8:00 - 9:30 am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for that day's sessions. Each pass is specific for each guest and one item per guest. Details about allowed merchandise for autograph within Autograph Policy.

> Friday will be distributed in the Sheraton Grand Ballroom and Saturday and Sunday passes in Constitution A.

> Passes that have not been passed out in the morning will be available at the Operations counter inside the Hynes.

While I'm still not too keen on most of the policy, at least the ticket distribution time is a lot more reasonable than it was last year. Now I won't have to worry about getting up before the crack of dawn, just to get the tickets I want for the sessions I want to go to. :)

Thank you for posting this far in advance. Looks like the major difference this year over last year is that distribution starts at 8 a.m. instead of 7 a.m. Though I can still picture many people lining up way before that to secure their ticket. :lol:

Since I haven't gotten an autograph in a few years, I was actually wondering what the policy is for getting tickets if you cannot stand in lines. I have since developed a disability that makes standing in lines challenging for me so I was wondering how it works for getting the tickets for the autographs since I actually want one this year.

Hello-You can pick up an accessibility sticker at the Accessibility Services booth, located at registration during the con. This allows priority access through the security line and also allows advanced seating to major events, to accommodate to your needs.

For more specific information on the autograph passes or if there are any further questions, please reach out to our accessibility specialist and they will gladly help.

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I've used accesibility passes at other cons in the past but this is my first time worrying about it for AB as I got diagnosed just after AB last year and am still learning the policies for certain cons in this regard. I'll direct any further questions to them, thanks again!
