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!
Or call CREATION at (818) 409-0960 ext. 225** , 9:30am - 3pm Pacific Time.
Or, mail fees to:
CREATION TICKETS
217 S. Kenwood Street
Glendale, CA 91205
**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:
creatickets@creationent.com
***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!

Our annual STAR TREK visit this year has been expanded to include two other very important and very cool sci-fi franchises.... STAR WARS is celebrating its amazing 30th Anniversary this year so we're happy to have a great STAR WARS representation at the weekend... BATTLESTAR GALACTICA has become one of television's finest series and certainly a true landmark for the genre. Due to its wonderful quality it deserves a rightful place beside the big two genre all-time franchises. So come join the celebration as it's three times as good, covering STAR TREK, STAR WARS and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
SHOW HOURS
Change as of Sept. 13: Jamie Bamber has to cancel his appearance due to production constraints on Battlestar. TAHMOH PENIKETT Captain Karl C. 'Helo' Agathon on Battlestar Galactica will be taking Jamie's place at all events.
Change as of September 11: Due to the filming of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA our guests KATEE SACKHOFF and TAHMOH PENIKETT, are switching to SUNDAY. JONATHAN FRAKES and MARINA SIRTIS will now be on SATURDAY. If you are holding reserved or general admission tickets for SATURDAY or SUNDAY just bring them any day you want to come and they will be switched at registration. Sorry for the inconvenience.

September 11: Creation regrets that George Takei is no longer attending the Sacramento convention due to filming complexities involved with his role on HEROES. We hope to have George back with us in the future. Those that ordered separate George Takei photo ops will have their money credited back to their cards. Gold and Preferred Weekend Patrons will receive a compimentary hand signed autographed photo of George Takei as SULU. Those that ordered separate autograph tickets with George can either receive an autographed photo at the show, use the ticket as cash at the convention at Creation tables, or receive a refund for the ticket by sending it back to our offices. We regret this inconvenience and wish George well with his filming and continuing role on HEROES.
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, 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!
9pm - A night of music and entertainment, opened by SUZIE PLAKSON and followed by the music of WARP 11
Sci-fi rock gods Warp 11 perform original songs including "Trekkie Girl", "Don't Klingon Me" and "Old Country Doctor (The Ballad of Bones)" at conventions, college nightclubs and rock concerts nationwide. Music from Warp 11 was featured during the television broadcast of the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner. Warp 11 has also appeared on countless radio and television programs over the last six years, as well as in a live concert featured in the Paramount Pictures movie "Trekkies 2". www.warp11.com

We'll be debuting TNG 20th Anniversary merchandise items at the convention. This collectible plate is our first example of what is in "store"!

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are penning the script; they collaborated with Abrams when writing "Mission: Impossible III." They will also take exec producing credits, along with Bryan Burk.
The 10 previous "Star Trek" films have grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The new feature film and all the latest casting developments and ongoing reports will be discussed at the convention. Be sure to be in attendance as STAR TREK LIVES again!

AUTOGRAPH TICKETS
It is sad to say that experts have said that over 75% of the autographed celebrity items on on-line auction sites are frauds and from what we've seen in the sci-fi field we'd say that it is quite true, especially when it comes to the bigger stars. That's why getting autographs in person at conventions is THE BEST way to collect: you know what you are getting, plus you get to see it happen! You can bring any item from home to get signed or there will be tons of photos and cool stuff at the convention to purchase as well. Autographing is done day of appearances and are non-rushed and once purchased are guaranteed (unlike some of those other fan conventions out there which should remain nameless!)
KATEE SACKHOFF 'Starbuck' on Battlestar Galactica and soon to be seen on the new NBC series BIONIC WOMAN: $30
JONATHAN FRAKES Commander William T. Riker in STAR TREK Next Generation: $35
MARINA SIRTIS Counselor Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation $20

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.
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.
Note: 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.
PHOTO OPS
What's a PHOTO OP like?
Check out these photo ops where fans got the chance to get a pic with SUPERNATURAL star JARED PADALECKI
Imagine the greatest souvenir of all-time: YOU with the celebrity of your choice in a glorious 8 by 10 professionally shot full color picture. Our photographer is the best, making the experience one that you will enjoy and remember! Please read: PHOTO OP F.A.Q.
Due to security considerations and guest concerns we can no longer facilitate the giving of gifts to guests at the photo op sessions. We will be happy to accept gifts for our celebrity guests after 3pm daily at registration and we will gather them and make sure the guests get them. Please note that because guests usually travel by plane they are unable to take gifts home with them. We hope you understand the security issues involved. Thank you!
