Be sure of which day a guest is doing photo ops/autographs before purchasing your admission tickets. You must have an admission ticket for the day of your photo op and/or autograph.
Having the chance to get in-person autographs from the stars is one of the real benefits in attending our convention. Click here for guest prices!
REMINDER: Most guests will sign almost any item you bring from home or you can buy an item at the convention, but you need to have an item for the guest to sign. One ticket equals one autograph.

NOTE: You DO NOT need a convention pass to attend.
Since this is a FREE EVENT, you do not keep your same seats you had during the day. There will be seats in the back if you prefer to sit. If you have a VIP pass or special needs, please come to the front of the line.
NOTE: If you choose to stand in line early to be up front, you may only hold one additional place until the doors open. Once the doors open and if your companion is not there, there is no guarantee there will be room left in the front. Although these are FREE events and you do not need a convention pass to attend, please be aware that there is still a limited capacity at each venue. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and space may be filled to capacity.
Our Saturday night LIVE Celebration Concert has always been a highlight for our fellow TVD/Originals fans! Join Chase and house band MERCY MODE plus special guests for some great live entertainment! All guest participants are tentative until show time. The concert is complimentary for GOLD, SILVER and COPPER WEEKEND patrons — and for all others, a la carte tickets are only $35! NOTE: You do not need an admission pass to attend.
Join the talented Chris Lee for a fun improv workshop on SATURDAY evening before the concert. Learn those on-the-fly comedy skills and laugh your butts off with your fellow TVD fans! Limited to 25 people and tickets are sold on a first come first serve basis. NOTE: You need an admission pass to attend.
Did you even wonder how vampires get their eyes? Or how a werewolf bite is created? In this FX makeup class, we will explore all of the tricks of movie magic. Each class will be tailored specifically for a Vampire Diaries/Originals/Legacies effect from your favorite show. No supplies or experience needed. A volunteer will be selected each class to be our model (please note all allergies must be discussed before you may be selected). For one hour, you will learn a whole new skill for any cosplay or Halloween look. Come join us on SUNDAY! Meet your makeup artist: My name is Victoria Righthand! I am a licensed esthetician who has been working in beauty and special effects makeup for 10 years. From fun photoshoots to short films, and Halloween events, I have worked with a variety of mediums and people to give you all a well-rounded insight into the world of special effects. Some of my work with the Supernatural cast is photographed above. Hope to see you at a class! NOTE: You need an admission pass to attend.
Show off those cosplay skills! Come dressed as your favorite character or clever mash-up for our Cosplay Contest. Compete for the audience’s applause and the chance to win great prizes.

Here’s a more exclusive way to meet our special guests in a smaller group setting! Closer to the convention, we offer special VIP Experiences and Meet & Greet experiences through our online auction site.
If you already have GOLD passes, you have the chance to bid on the VIP experience (only GOLD patrons can win a spot)! Meet & Greets with special guests in attendance are open for bids for everyone. These are generally limited to 10-20 fans per meet and greet. Sign up for the email blasts to stay in the loop!
