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. |

**All Convention tickets have a $7.25 shipping/handling fee
charged per ticket ordered. This applies to all online, phone, fax and mail orders.
Note: Our ticketing office (Leticia) direct e-mail address has been changed to:

***Attention Attendees: Do not purchase Ticketmaster Tickets
from scalpers or anyone trying to offer tickets as you arrive at our convention
locations. Each ticket is checked for authenticity at the door and we can not
let you in if your ticket is counterfeit (which has happened recently). Please
buy your tickets only from Creation or, if we are using them, Ticketmaster! Thanks,
we appreciate your support!
We really appreciate your help in publicizing this event on-line. Grab our banners to put on your site! |

PLEASE READ THIS PAGE COMPLETELY BEFORE ORDERING ANY TICKETS.
Be sure of which day a guest is doing photo ops/autographs
before purchasing your admission tickets.
Please note that tickets for this event are delivered to you via e-mail in PDF format which you should print out and bring with you to convention registration. Most customers receive their PDF tickets within 3 business days of having placed their order. Please make sure to bring ALL your printed out tickets to the convention as we can not replace any tickets forgotten or lost. This holds true for all ticket-buyers domestic and outside of The United States as we no longer have a will-call or hold ticket desk. Our convention sites generally have a business office where you can print out your tickets if you have left them home by mistake. Once you present your ticket(s) at registration, photo op areas, or autograph sessions they will be scanned for legitimacy and one-time use only. Thanks! |

Official VANCOUVER STARGATE SG-1/ATLANTIS CONVENTION |
|
Every year Stargate fans from around the world convene in Vancouver for four days and nights of fun! It is like a family reunion (without the bickering!). Here we close The Gate on the outside world and celebrate the amazing performers and creators that have given us so much entertainment. With about 550 attendees each day this convention is scaled to be intimate and easy to enjoy as opposed to those increasingly huge (and overcrowded) gatherings and/or autograph affairs that are passing for "fan conventions" nowadays. At Creation events EVERY attendee gets a guaranteed seat in the main theatre to see ALL the guests in a cool theatrical setting, the "Creation Difference" that we want you to know about. No waiting, no worry: you will see all the guests, guaranteed! Best of all it is FOUR DAYS of ALL STARGATE themed entertainment, an absolute must if you are a fellow Stargate fan and making the trip to be with us.
Make the annual tradition yours by making your plans to be on hand in 2011: we promise a great time for all!

2011 CELEBRITY GUESTS
| To be announced... |
|
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!

GOLD WEEKEND ADMISSION PACKAGES
The top-of-the-line way to attend any event! Here is what is included in the GOLD WEEKEND PACKAGES:

2) Complimentary Set Tour Visit (including roundtrip transportation from the hotel lobby) to BRIDGE STUDIOS for the exclusive narrated Stargate set visits These occur Saturday morning prior to the conveniton getting into full swing. Note: the producers have advised us that we get to do the set visits if the sets are standing at the time of our convention which has been the case every year but the last. We fully expect these to happen again in 2010 but if these do not occur patrons will have a number of options, including refunds, so don't worry!
3) THE CELEBRITY CABARET (held Friday Night of the weekend) is always a true highlight of the convention. Here some of our stars do what they do best: entertain audiences! Names of performers to be announced but we've had some great cabarets in the past, for sure!
4) Complimentary ADMISSION to the EXCLUSIVE GOLD DESSERT PARTY: an amazing array of desserts to enjoy with fellow fans and celebrity guests making special appearances.
5) Complimentary autographs from attending celebrities. These autographs will have a value of more than $200 if purchased alone (IN 2010 THE VALUE WAS $240) You will need to supply an item to sign, either bringing something from home or purchasing a souvenir photo or product at the convention. NOTE: on occasion there are a few guests whose signatures are not part of our weekend packages since they are compensated through sales of autographs. These tickets can be purchased below at the autograph section and your support of these appearances is greatly appreciated and helps us have a wider array of celebrities at the convention.
6) First to get autographs when going row by row as you are in the front rows.

HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS
Special convention rates for attendees will be announced soon.
Hilton Metrotown Burnaby
6083 McKay Ave.
Burnaby, BC
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.
