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!

***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).

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 (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 STAR TREK / GRAND SLAM SCI-FI e-mail newsletter list to get announcements about STAR TREK / GRAND SLAM SCI-FI events!

SALUTE TO TWILIGHT on SUNDAY

It's the latest and biggest thing to hit genre fandom in years: the fantastic book series and feature films: TWILIGHT! Grand Slam honors this new sensation with a special line-up of great guests from the feature film. Our in-person, on-stage guests are: TAYLOR LAUTNER (Jacob Black), KELLAN LUTZ (Emmett Cullen), MICHAEL WELCH (Mike Newton) and ASHLEY GREENE (Alice Cullen). It is going to be awesome!

Our special "SALUTE TO TWILIGHT PASS" is the perfect ticket option for TWILIGHT fans who want to come to Grand Slam on Sunday to partake in all the Twilight activities.

Here is what the SALUTE TO TWILIGHT PASS gets you:

1) Reserved seating in our theatre for Sunday, May 3, 2009: It is your seat all day, come and go. Here's where all our Twilight guests appear on stage, answer audience questions, and generally have a great time. There will also be Twilight panels, contests and other events in the theatre!

2) Guaranteed in-person autographs from Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, Michael Welch and Ashley Greene! There's nothing better for collectors than getting their autographs in person and having a chance to meet the celebrities we love in a cool, safe and fun way!

3) Admission to our limited seating SALUTE TO TWILIGHT BREAKFAST where our all our Twilight guests appear and will be escorted from table to table to meet all the attendees personally. Cameras are allowed here only when the guests first arrive (and then cameras are put away) since we want them to meet everyone. You'll also enjoy a delicious breakfast and meet fellow fans from around the globe.

It's a full amazing day for fans of TWILIGHT and we hope to see you there!

The SALUTE TO TWILIGHT PASS is a huge bargain at only $159 each.
Available in limited supply, please order quickly!

Please note this package does not include photo ops with the stars and those can be purchased separately below. All guests and events are tentative. Also, if you don't want to go for a Twilight Pass then check out the other alternatives which include general admission or preferred seating for Sunday which are available below.
