CONVENTION SEATING & 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!

GUESTS

CONNOR TRINNEER
STARGATE: ATLANTIS’ Michael Kenmore, Connor also portrayed "Trip" on STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE. Appearing on stage, autographing and doing photo ops on FRIDAY

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.

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 (you can do this at photo ops), 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!

Make sure to be on our STARGATE SG-1 / ATLANTIS e-mail newsletter list to get announcements about STARGATE SG-1 / ATLANTIS events!

THE STARGATE FRIDAY NIGHT CABARET

FRIDAY 9PM:  A SMASH HIT AT OUR VANCOUVER STARGATE SHOW, NOW IN CHICAGO FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

STARHOLE SG: 1.5 - starring Gary Jones (Stargate's Sgt. Walter Harriman) & Dean Haglund (Langly of The Lone Gunmen of X-FILES fame)
 
Get ready for the biggest shocker in Stargate history…Gary Jones, aka: Sgt. Walter Harriman, is finally going through the gate! 
 
After being told repeatedly by producers for 10 years that it was too expensive to send him through the computer-generated “puddle,” Gary is finally taking matters into his own hands, always to hilariously disastrous results! 
 
After performing their Star Trek parody, “An Improv Enterprise,” to sold-out, sci-fi convention shows with his partner, Dean Haglund of “X-Files” fame, Gary and Dean have found new fodder for their comedy cannon: STARHOLE SG:1.5.
 
Gary will reprise his role as Walter Harriman, to the delight of the fans, and Dean will play all the secondary characters like, say, Jack O’Neill, Daniel, Teal’c and Sam Carter.  Other guest star spots will be filled by…audience members! 
 
The planet they go to might be P7X-4Y9 but depending on audience improv suggestions, it might be inhabited by “lusty, opera-loving plumbers” led by an evil leader that makes Baal look not so baad.   It will be up to Sgt. Harriman and the rest of the SG: 1.5 team to defeat the ruler of the planet and get back through the STARHOLE before it slams shut on their asses.
 
Gary Jones and Dean Haglund have had audience members rolling in the aisles from North America to Europe.  (And believe it or not, no-one drowned)
 
Join them live in STARHOLE SG: 1.5 as Chevron 7 is locked…with laughter.  Indeed!   

Please note that this performance is included on a complimentary basis for Gold and Weekend Preferred Patrons (keep your same great seats you have all weekend!). For all others, tickets are available NOW on-line for $25, or at the door for the same.

Autograph and Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention, and you must have an admission ticket or package to get autographs or photo ops.

Here's the chance to receive in-person autographs from your favorite sci-fi celebrities. Note that if you have a particular autograph as part of your ticket package and want a 2nd (or more) signatures you can have all your signing done at once when you first go up to the celebrity. Autographs are done in a non-rushed comfortable manner.

Autographs Note: Patrons must bring an item for celebrities to sign. You can bring something from home or purchase a photo or other collectible in the vendors room. Please feel free to purchase as many autograph tickets of a particular celebrity as you'd like.

Guests appear ONE day of the convention, so therefore their autographing and/or photo ops take place that day, except in VERY rare occasions which will be noted. If you are not attending all days of the convention it is wise to wait until specific days of appearance are announced before purchasing autographs or photo ops. You must have an admission ticket to the convention to get autographs or photo ops.

Creation Entertainment holds a "block" of rooms for our attendees. These blocks of rooms have a lower rate than standard rates at the hotel, but they also have a "cut-off" point after which hotels may choose to revert back to their own higher rates for our customers. Usually this cut off date is one month prior to the event, but this does vary. Therefore it is always wise to book your rooms for our conventions as early as possible.
