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 other conventions and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans.
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 marshal 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: 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!
In the event of convention cancellations or date changes Creation Entertainment is not responsible for patrons' costs involving travel or hotel accommodations or any other non convention ticket expenses.
Advance ticket sales are generally turned off early to mid-week of the week of the events. Tickets, if they are not sold out, are sold at the convention of course.
Here's a pic of the legendary sci-fi author/genius Isaac Asimov, a frequent visitor to our early conventions and quite a character as well! It is amazing that we got to work with him after reading so many of his books.
From the "you never know" category, here in the middle is "Young Hercules" at our Official Hercules/Xena Convention (pictured with his co-stars from that short lived series). He's better known by his real name today: Ryan Gosling, an incredible actor doing wonderful work in feature films.
Back in the heyday of Xena popularity we had the pleasure of meeting some of New Zealand's top talents as they often guested on the series which was filmed in that beautiful country. Left to right: Karl Urban who went onto major stardom as Star Trek's new Dr. McCoy, Kevin Smith, one of our all-time favorite guests, on the verge of international fame when he was killed in a tragic accident, and Danielle Cormack who continues to perform in New Zealand.
For over two decades we had the pleasure of presenting the country's leading horror fan conventions, Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors with the popular magazine and illustrious editor Tony Timpone. These shows were a breeding ground for up and coming genre talent and that makes us proud. Here, one of the icons of the field, Robert Englund, on stage.
During one crazy phase we started manufacturing action figures and selling them in Toys R Us amongst other national retailers. Bruce Lee was probably are most realistic looking figure, but we also had success with Saturday Night Live figures and Drew and Mimi from The Drew Carey Show.
It had one of the most loyal and passionate fan movements behind it and a gloriously talented cast of performers working with amazing and intelligent scripts. We were delighted to be associated with this incredible and still missed series and it was always a special pleasure to work with star Ben Browder.
We were ahead of the times back in the 80's with conventions mixing all sorts of fan favorites together. Usually all the different fandoms got along and it is nice to see that Dr. Who is more popular than ever. We were licensees back in the day and worked with many of the earlier Doctors, including, of course, the larger than life Tom Baker.
Here is a scene from a recent Official Star Trek Convention in San Francisco with Brent Spiner on stage speaking to a sold out crowd.
There was never any guest nicer than the amazing DeForest Kelley who graced our stages many, many times always putting on a warm and entertaining presentation for his legions of dedicated fans. He was just as cool as you would want him to be!
The only time this ever happened: Three Mr. Spocks on stage, a really special moment
It all started with a Mr. Spock head: our entry into the world of Star Trek merchandising began full time when we purchased 1,000 of these 35 years ago or so. We still have a few left!
Every five year anniversary marks a special time to remember for Star Trek fans and our conventions take on an air of a family reunion of long-time fans and the stars we all admire. Sadly we also mark the loss of some of those talents who appeared with us regularly at our events. They are missed.
One of our most fun to run conventions was The Official TV LAND Convention. Here is the convention store we set up offering goodies to fellow TV fanatics!
This is pretty cool: Sam Rubin interviewed legendary Larry Hagman at our TV Land Convention, sadly a one-time only gathering, but did we ever enjoy meeting so many of our all-time favorite TV stars!
Another wonderful moment from the TV Land Convention: here's the hilarious Tim Conway regaling the audience with anecdotes about his career that has spanned decades.
Dick Martin, George Schlatter and Alan Sues at the TV Land Convention
Here's an amazing panel we did in LA at the famed Biltmore Hotel: Forry Ackerman, Ray Bradbury, Ray Harryhausen and John Landis!
Comic book and entertainment fans owe much to the legendary JACK KIRBY, the revered talent who co-created the Marvel mythology and made many early appearances with us, among his most devoted followers. Although his passing never allowed Jack to see the amazing success of his characters in film we do know that his appearances at conventions always brought down the house!
It is always great when we can personally thank a performer for an absolutely beautifully done job and that was just the treat when John Noble appeared in Feb of 2013 wrapping up his epic FRINGE series, one of our all-time favorite shows!
The beautiful and talented Alfre Woodard graced her stages to reminisce about her appearance in Star Trek as Lily in the movie Star Trek: First Contact, but of course she is best known for being an Academy Award and Grammy nominated actress as well as having an incredible 17 Emmy nominations (winning four).
Our Vegas Star Trek Convention is ALWAYS full of surprises! Sir Patrick Stewart joins William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in this once in a lifetime moment! We're glad we were there!
In 2006, space pioneers, astronauts Wally Schirra and Alan Bean, guested at Grand Slam: it was an honor!

Three of the most popular actors on the planet graced our stages along with their The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director: Bill Condon, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner helped us make history at an official fan gathering done in conjunction with the press junket and in association with Summit Entertainment.
Our first convention program in 1971, ticket prices were $1.50 a day and our special guest was legendary comic artist superstar Jim Steranko!
We even had time to publish 6 issues of a popular comic art fanzine called Infinity when we were teenagers. Back in the days before the internet, printed fanzines and conventions helped keep fandom connected.
When we ran The Official STAR WARS Convention we brought in Gene Roddenberry as a surprise and this moment in time was a true highlight. Gene was a great mentor of ours and he is always in our thoughts, especially when we gather for our Official STAR TREK Conventions.
LOST was one of the great TV series of all-time and we were proud to be an official licensee for the show. Here three of the stars, Ian Somerhalder, Evangeline Lilly and Naveen Andrews, grace our stages in a Creation Convention appearance.
Two of our most popular celebrity guests from the Stargate franchise making their only Creation appearance together on stage: Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping! We love following their careers post Stargate and look forward to enjoying their work for years to come!
How's this for cool? Arnold as THE Terminator at our Official T-2 Convention, an awesome occasion!
A VERY special moment in Creation History
BILL SHATNER & LEONARD NIMOY toasting the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek on the exact day, 4 decades later, that the original series began its TV run! Taken in Chicago at Creation's Salute to Star Trek's 40th! Thanks, Bill and Leonard for being such a big part of Creation Entertainment! Who would have thought that as kids that watched classic Trek, that one day we'd be working with these show biz legends!
History is made again at Creation when LEONARD NIMOY passes the ceremonial "#1 Vulcan" tee-shirt to the new Mr. Spock ZACHARY QUINTO. It all happened in front of the audience at Grand Slam XVI. Creation Conventions: it is ALL about making wonderful memories like this!
Superstar Legend Jack Nicholson made the "Creation" scene, a definite ultra-cool moment in our 40 plus year history!
Growing up watching THE AVENGERS was a particular joy so when Patrick Macnee joined the Creation line-up of stars it was a joyous occasion for us and his many fans!
It was another of our proudest moments: having four STAR TREK Captains share the stage. Let's hope we can pull it off again some day and add a few more!
Long-time Creation friend (and early fan attendee turned superstar producer) DEAN DEVLIN brought along friends Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer to one of our shows. Dean is currently behind one of TV's greatest shows LEVERAGE!
The impeccable Ricardo Montalban created Star Trek's most popular villian as Khan but in person he truly was one of a kind and his two appearances for us were definitely amongst the most memorable! He is sorely missed by all Trekkers and was indeed a Hollywood classic himself!
Gracious and supportive to us as ever William Shatner made sure first time Creation guest star Joan Collins (in her only convention appearance) was comfortable on stage, reunited decades after their ultra-popular classic Trek appearance together!
As promised, a seat for all! Here's a scene of the amazing theatre we used for years for our Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. At Creation shows: no waiting and worrying about seeing the stars!
Pretty Cool we'd say to have welcomed the ultra talented Elijah Wood as Creation promoted several Official LORD OF THE RINGS events.
Amazing photo of Kierin Ferris and Elijah Wood from our Lord of the Rings events
Here's some shots of Leonard Nimoy's last convention appearance (courtesy of Paul Harvath), taken at our Chicago 2011 Official STAR TREK Convention. Thank You Leonard for your three decade association with Creation: we've loved every minute of presenting you to your adoring fans (of which we number ourselves!):
Leonard Nimoy's emotional farewell to Star Trek Conventions: 2011 Chicago
These guys are HILARIOUS on stage together and we love having them at our events: true superstars of the genre: Jonathan Frakes (now busy directing) and Brent Spiner!

The Vampire Diaries
Official Convention
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Friday, Saturday & Sunday
September 18-20, 2015
The Rio Suites Hotel
3700 W. Flamingo Rd.
Las Vegas, NV
TIMES OF EVENT: Please note that our times are dependent on guest flight itineraries and because we are dealing with actors who are often filming we do not know these itineraries until much closer to the convention date. As a generalization, but not a guarantee this early, we usually will have pre-registration on Thursday night for those coming all three days (not a necessity but a convenience) and Friday programming begins around noon and ends at about 6 pm with autographs and Karaoke into the evening. Saturday we usually start about 9am and run until about 7 pm with autographs and the Saturday Party running until late evening. Sunday we usually start early and autographs, depending on guests, can run into the evening. We always suggest that if you don’t want to miss any autographs on Sunday that you plan on staying late or staying over in the hotel Sunday night. Once again, these times are totally tentative as we do not yet know the flights of the guests.
Don’t forget that pre-registration occurs on Thursday Night September 17th. While not a necessity, just a convenience, it allows you to get your registration credentials, printed schedules, any available autograph and photo ops, and first crack at the vendors room which will be open. This way you don’t have to worry about waiting for any of this on a convention activity day. It’s also a nice time to meet other fans because no one is in a giant rush to get to a panel or other event.
Here are the times of pre-registration:
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm: Vendors room set up/Vendors Only
9:00 pm to 9:45 pm Gold Weekend Patrons Pre-Registration
9:30 pm to 10:45 pm Vendors Room Open to Patrons
9:45 pm to 10:05 pm Silver Weekend Patrons Pre-Registration (or gold folks who didnt make their time)
10:05 pm to 10:20 pm Copper Weekend Patrons Pre-Registration (or previous mentioned patrons who didnt make their time)
10:20 pm to 10:45 pm General Admission Patrons Pre-Registration and any in other categories that didnt make their times.
Please note we can only accommodate FULL THREE DAY PACKAGE holders during pre- registration.
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE OUR 2014 VISIT TO VEGAS A SUPER-SMASH THREE-DAY PARTY SUCCESS and we can’t wait to come back!
Please keep in mind that unlike virtually EVERY other fan convention we never sell ONE ticket more than we have seats in the theatre, so EVERYONE, no matter their type of ticket, is guaranteed a seat to see the stars and events they want, without worry, extra waiting, or hassles: JUST FUN! We want your vacation to be the absolute best which is why we generally limit attendance to about 1,000 or so and are able to offer a lot of star/fan interaction. Make your plans NOW to be with us in VEGAS in 2015 and we promise a fabulous time for all!

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES/THE ORIGINALS CAST CELEBRATION CONCERT PARTY
(Formerly the "MYSTIC FALLS FOUNDER'S DAY MASQUERADE BALL")
Due to the overwhelming response from their first show in Atlanta and the second time in Houston, Saturday Night Concerts will be taking the place of the Founder’s Day Masquerade Ball. The concerts are still free to GOLD and for all others, tickets are $30.
We still we will be doing the BEST THEMED CENTERPIECE CONTEST and THE BEST DRESSED AWARDS AT THE CONCERT (where each win a $250 gift certificate good for 1 year towards Creation Merchandise Only, excludes convention, autograph and photo-op tickets) and we’ve found that both the audience and the celebrities LOVE the concert so much more than the party, as we also found with our Official SUPERNATURAL Conventions.
The Saturday Night Concert features our house band, Samurai Fish, plus celebrity guests including tentatively including co-host Chase Coleman, Steven R. McQueen, Micah Parker, Michael Malarkey, Sebastian Roche, David Alpay, Steven Krueger and Chris Brochu. All guest participants are totally tentative.
If you chose to drink at this convention (if you are of age) please do so responsibly as hotel security is on duty.
For those that paid $79 for the party your cards are being refunded the extra $49 within the next ten days of this writing (April 7).
Note: this event is complimentary for Gold Weekend Patrons but as it is a concert the first rows will be removed for standing so held seats during the day to not apply to this event. There will be room to sit however for those that prefer to, in the back and the show is still quite visible and enjoyable. AS AN EXTRA BONUS FOR OUR GOLD WEEKEND PATRONS WE HAVE ALSO ADDED TO YOUR PACKAGE COMPLIMENTARY AUTOGRAPHS WITH CELEBRITY GUEST CHASE COLEMAN (done on Friday).
SATURDAY NIGHT CELEBRATION CONCERT TICKETS (general seating) will be on sale at THE CONVENTION at registration or at the actual CONCERT itself for $30 each.
A VERY special half-hour event is planned exclusively for our Gold Weekend Patrons! Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley join forces for what is sure to be a memorable time and it ONLY happens for our amazing Gold Weekend Patrons! Another reason to "go gold" for this incredible weekend of fun! Of course both of these stars will be on stage for their regular convention appearance on Saturday, this EXTRA event is just something added as a bonus for our Gold Patrons.
FREE TO ALL: THE KARAOKE PARTY HOSTED BY MICAH PARKER with special surprise guests!
Come to sing, come to relax, come to party as Micah is living large as the new host of our The Vampire Diaries Official Convention Karaoke Parties, set for Friday Evening sometime after our autographing is concluded.
THE EVENT IS FREE TO ALL, courtesy of Creation Entertainment and generally features (along with host Micah) the guests that appear on the first day of the convention, but not always. Please note that generally the first rows are removed so this is a non-reserved seat function, there are seats in the back however for those that just want to sit back and enjoy!
Times will be announced in the schedules. If you want to sing with our celebrities we suggest signing up with our DJ who is available with a song book one hour before the close of the vendors room in said room. While this is not a guarantee you will be called up it will help to pre-sign up.
Please note the appropriate drinking age in the convention city you are attending. The hotel bartenders card for proper age. Please drink responsibly, if you choose to drink, at the parties.
THE CREATION COSTUME PARADE
You know you wanna! The famous Creation Entertainment Costume Parade Competition is always a highlight of the convention.

Television, including a wide range of color photos struck from studio source, beautiful t-shirts, mugs, glassware, posters, apparel, standees, board games, novelties, and more!

Vendors are invited to participate in the convention, click on over to http://www.creationent.com/dealers.htm for more information but please note that any The Vampire Diaries merchandise must be licensed by the studio to be considered.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES FAN MUSIC VIDEO CONTEST

Entries can not be returned, and person submitting entry is granting Creation the right to play this entry in perpetuity at Creation events worldwide and/or online at the Creation website(s). Creation does not sell music videos so your entry will never be sold as a commercial product, just presented at our events/online.
Winners will receive a $100 gift certificate good for Creation Merchandise (Creation merchandise only, excludes convention, autograph and photo-op tickets).

You do not have to be present for the actual showing of your video, but you must claim your award on site before the end of the weekend or your award will be forfeited. Also please note that we are looking for intro videos that involve our supporting actors, so please keep that in mind too! Please note that fans should not use footage from other than the shows we are honoring even if it features the stars of the current show the convention is about.
Please only submit a specific music video entry for one event, do not repeat the same submission at multiple events because it will not be considered after its first convention showing.

Thanks for your support!
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!
Please do not purchase tickets second hand.
There have been too many people who unfortunately are copying their scannable tickets and reselling them to unsuspecting patrons. We turn away any ticket that comes up SCANNED ALREADY and will let ONLY the first person in.
The only way to avoid this issue is NOT to buy tickets from anywhere but Creation’s website or at the convention itself at registration.
Please note: if you have autographs in a package you have purchased you are free to “gift” these to other people as long as they have some sort of admission ticket to the convention. Special exclusive events like Ian and Paul’s private Gold Session and free admission to the Saturday Night Ball for certain packages should not be resold as the lanyard card and wristband must match for complimentary entrance to these events.
Customer Support E-Mail: ANY problem you have please write to us at:
and we'll look into it and get right back to you. Thanks!
NOTE: You may buy Photo Op and Autograph tickets before buying an Admission ticket, but you need an Admission Ticket in order to use the Photo Op and Autograph tickets. Please buy an Admission ticket as soon as you can as we can never guarantee Admission tickets won't sell out before the show. Join our Free Email list to get updates on ticket availability.

Where’s What?
THEATRE: Brasilia Ballroom, Convention Center
VENDORS: Tropical Ballroom, Convention Center
PHOTO OPS: Miranda 7, Convention Center
KARAOKE: Brasilia Ballroom, Convention Center
SATURDAY NIGHT CONCERT: Brasilia Ballroom, Convention Center
PRIVATE MEET & GREETS: Lambada A & Conga C,
Convention Center
VIP LOUNGE: Lambada C, Convention Center
WELCOME EVERYONE!
Thanks for being with us! We really appreciate your visit and want to make sure you have the absolute best time! With that in mind, a few rules to keep everyone safe:
HOUSE RULES
1) Photo taking from your seats only, do not rush the stage when guests appear and PLEASE NO SELFIE STICKS! Please limit flash (which does not make your photos better unless you are in the first few rows) photography. Those with sensitivity to flash please be aware that it does occur. Photos taken in the Theatre are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
2) PHOTO OPS are done on a first come/first taken basis with any exceptions noted within this schedule, including Backstage VIPs who can go first. PLEASE be on time as they move very quickly and once the photo op session is over, we cannot repeat. “Special poses” are at the discretion of the actors and could be based on flights or other scheduling issues. Time consuming pose set-ups, costumes and/or props may not be permitted. PHOTO OPS may be picked up in the photo pick up area when available. Full information on when photos will be ready for pick up is on a hand-out available in the photo op room. Personal photo-taking is not allowed in the photo op room at any time.
*We try our best to catch light glare on glasses, but it is extremely difficult to detect during the session. Be advised that we cannot be responsible for glare if you choose to leave your glasses on in your photo.
3) Please have your items for signature out and ready during autograph sessions. Personalizations are at the discretion of the celebrities signing and/or may be affected by guest flights or other scheduling issues. You must bring something to have signed, either from home or an item purchased on site. Photo-taking of the celebrity guests during autograph sessions is not allowed.
4) Our volunteers are here to help you and we thank them for doing so. However, if you have an issue with ANYONE or ANYTHING please let Adam, Gary or Stephanie know during the convention so we can solve the problem. We can’t help if you don’t tell us and we’re all easy to find. Just ask!
5) Please sit ONLY in the seat you paid for.
6) At the request of our guests, no video or audio capturing or LIVE STREAMING!
7) Please turn cell phones off and kindly refrain from talking when theatre is active.
8) ONLY ONE QUESTION MAY BE ASKED TO A CELEBRITY BY A FAN. PLEASE NO PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT YOURSELF, ASKING FOR HUGS, OR TELLING THEM WHY YOU LOVE THEM (that’s why we’re all here!). And please, no BIRTHDAY requests! As you are representing all of us, kindly make your question a good well-thought-out one and perhaps something the guests have not been asked before. If you are in the question line, stand all the way to the side, as to not block the view of others.
9) During autographs, if you have trouble standing let us know, if you are in a wheelchair or scooter please go with your row or by your number.
10) Q&A sessions start at the listed time and end at the listed time of the next stage activity.
11) Please purchase autographs, photo ops and photos during Registration and Vendors Room hours! Tickets & merchandise will not be available once Registration and Vendors room close.
12) If you plan on having alcoholic beverages during our party please note that the hotel bartenders will be carding and PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY. Don’t ruin your convention by overdoing it!
13) We don’t recommend buying tickets from anywhere but the Creation website or registration. All scannable tickets are checked and we can only allow the first one that goes through in. After that, copies will come up as previously scanned. As of late, there have been more nice fans being taken advantage of when buying secondhand tickets, so please be careful as there is nothing we can do if you have a secondhand ticket.
14) As with any ticketed event, we are not responsible for lost or misplaced tickets. We cannot replace autograph or photo op tickets that are purchased at the convention, so PLEASE make sure your tickets are kept in a safe and secure place. THANKS!
15) Please note that all expenditures at the convention for tickets, merchandise, photo ops, etc. will be done in American dollars and will be converted as such on your credit cards. Depending on the rate of exchange at the time your credit card processes, if you are not from America, the price(s) may vary.
16) Creation is dedicated to providing a safe and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion. We firmly believe in the ideals of one of our mentors, Star Trek’s late and beloved creator, Gene Roddenberry. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind from anyone. Patrons violating these rules may be expelled from the convention (without a refund) at Creation’s discretion and hotel security may be called in to facilitate this response. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam, Gary or Stephanie immediately. One or more of them is available at each of our conventions and they can be reached through registration or by the convention MC/Host. Issues of this importance should not be handled by our volunteers, as great as they are.
OKAY, THAT’S IT: HAVE FUN! We LOVE to hear feedback: write to asponsor@creationent.com or
adam@creationent.com.

HARASSMENT POLICY:
Creation Entertainment is dedicated to providing a safe and harassment-free experience for
everyone, regardless of race, age, religion, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual
orientation, disability, or physical appearance, We firmly believe in the ideals of one of our mentors, Star Trek’s late and beloved creator Gene Roddenberry.
We do not tolerate harassment of any kind from anyone. Patrons violating these
rules may be expelled from the convention (without a refund) at Creation's
discretion and hotel security may well be called in to facilitate this response. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam, Gary or Stephanie immediately. One or more of them is available at each of our conventions and they can be reached through registration or by the convention MC/Host. Issues of this importance should not be handled by our volunteers, as great as they are.
By attending Creation events you agree to allow your image to be used on our website and in news documentaries or stories, either filmed by Creation Entertainment or other entities.
All ticket prices are subject to change, please order as early as possible.
In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation Entertainment for ticketing. Also in the unlikely event, due to weather, transit issues or last minute illness or other reason given by celebrity, an advertised guest does not make their appearance at the convention, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for any refunds other than separate specific to the guest autograph tickets or photo op tickets. In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops (which has only happened in a handful of cases over 40 plus years, always due to something out of our control) Creation Entertainment will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.
In the extremely rare case (which has never happened before) our computer systems may accept more tickets than we have allotted for. If that should occur we would refund ticket money to the last several people (in order) who did manage to get a confirmation or ticket. As we've said it has never happened but we want to have a fair scenario in place it if does occur.
Flashes occur from phone and cameras often during stage presentations. If you are sensitive to such lighting please be advised to take the necessary cautions.
