the creation entertainment difference

Unlike so many other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict company policy not to "oversell" our conventions. In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place. Nothing upsets us more than hearing about other conventions that sell tickets to patrons and then those very same patrons have to wait on additional lines inside the facility to get into (or sometimes not!) the main theatre. An important Creation Entertainment difference we want you to know about!

The Creation difference extends to our 40 years experience in running fan conventions. In the last few years we've seen promoter after promoter fail taking hard earned ticket money down with them. Inexperienced promoters, often first-timers, use celebrity images and names to get ticket money which they use to hopefully pay their expenses. When that fails they've already gone through "your" ticket money and they collapse leaving no recourse for ticket holders. They say "buyer beware" but this has happened in Twilight, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly fandom (to name just a few) and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans.

November 17: We have been advised that Nathan Fillion will not be able to appear at the convention. Jewel Staite has today been booked to fill Nathan's spot on the schedule. Please note that those who purchased separate autograph tickets and/or photo ops (including the duo photo op with Nathan) have these options:
1) You can use your Nathan autograph, photo op or duo photo ops for cash at the convention (as all tickets have been mailed or e-mailed at this time) for other tickets or merchandise at the Creation tables
2) You can save your tickets and then after the convention send them back to Creation Entertainment, 217 South Kenwood, Glendale, CA 91205 Attention: Ed for a refund We regret this inconvenience for our attendees and appreciate your continued support.

October 26: Gina Torres has advised us that an unforeseen family commitment will have her out of the country on the weekend of our convention. All those who ordered separate Gina photo ops or duo photo ops with Gina and Alan Tudyk are having their money refunded to their credit cards. Those with separate Gina autograph tickets can use those tickets as cash at the convention for additional autographs, photo ops or Creation merchandise. Or, if you wish a refund for separate autograph tickets send them to our office at Creation, 217 South Kenwood, Glendale, CA 91205 Attention: Ed

ALL GUESTS are contracted to appear and all convention contracts specify that appearances are tentative and subject to change as film and television work demands take precedence as can a personal conflict. Our events will take place whether a specific guest cancels or not (we always try to book replacements) and therefore we can not issue admission ticket or ticket package refunds if a particular guest does not fulfill their appearance contract. Of course we will always refund separately purchased photo ops and autograph tickets for a guest if they cancel.

PHOTO TAKING POLICY AT THIS CONVENTION
We know that taking photos makes the convention even more fun and we thought it would be a good idea to share our photo taking policies for you before you arrive at the convention so you can prepare. In the auditorium, photo taking is encouraged, but only from your seat. It is unfair to run up to the stage and block the view of others who have paid for reserved seats in front of you. Even if there are empty seats, patrons must sit in the seats they paid for to be fair to everyone. Due to fire marshall regulations everyone must be seated during performances. Please also be courteous to your neighbors when taking pictures. Photo taking is not allowed during autographing sessions nor during the photo ops. Only those people who have autograph tickets may come up to get autographs. At the Gold Exclusive Parties and Breakfast: photo taking is encouraged when the guests arrive (but only from your seats). After a sufficient time for all to get their photos we ask that your cameras be placed down so the celebrities can enjoy their time at the two food functions. Thank you for understanding the need to have these few rules so everyone is safe and has fun.

The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts, getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!

Browncoats: Redemption – Updates From A Fan Film for Charity
Sunday

Browncoats: Redemption’s Mike Dougherty (writer/director/co-producer), Steven Fisher (co-producer), Brian Wiser (co-producer), and Heather Fagan (lead actress) will talk about the film, the journey from concept to creation, how social media has impacted awareness for the charities and the project, and release their second teaser trailer as well as a sneak peek of a raw cut scene from the film. learn more about the film and the charity efforts at browncoatsmovie.com or follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter@browncoatsmovie.

"Browncoats: Redemption" is a Firefly/Serenity fan film to be released September 2010. Donations raised from the film’s DVD will be given to five chosen charities supported by the creator and cast of the original series. Set three months after the events of the Universal Studios film, Serenity, Captain Laura Matthews and the crew of Redemption are unintentionally thrown into a situation that some view as the potential catalyst for the second unified rise of the Independents against the Alliance since Unification Day. The Alliane is looking for a scapegoat for Miranda, whereas those unhappy with the Alliance are looking for a rallying cry to take action. Through all of this, a secret about Laura is exposed that shakes the very core of the crew, threateing to break it apart, challenge the trust that Laura has earned with other Browncoats, and undo all of the efforts she has made to keep a sense of peace in her life since the first Unification War. Learn more abou the film and the charity efforts at browncoatsmovie.com or follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter@browncoatsmovie.

"Browncoats: Redemption" is a Firefly/Serenity fan film to be released September 2010. Donations raised from the film’s DVD will be given to five chosen charities supported by the creator and cast of the original series. Set three months after the events of the Universal Studios film, Serenity, Captain Laura Matthews and the crew of Redemption are unintentionally thrown into a situation that some view as the potential catalyst for the second unified rise of the Independents against the Alliance since Unification Day. The Alliane is looking for a scapegoat for Miranda, whereas those unhappy with the Alliance are looking for a rallying cry to take action. Through all of this, a secret about Laura is exposed that shakes the very core of the crew, threateing to break it apart, challenge the trust that Laura has earned with other Browncoats, and undo all of the efforts she has made to keep a sense of peace in her life since the first Unification War.
