Guest Info
What guests will be at Illinois Comic Con?
This is the list of guests scheduled to appear. The list will be updated as more guests are announced.
Is so-and-so really going to be at Illinois Comic Con?
Every guest announced has signed their contract to appear.
What about guest cancellations?
All announced guests are confirmed, but sometimes a guest has to cancel due to professional obligations (got a gig and have to work that weekend) or personal commitments. In the event of a cancellation, we will notify fans via our website and social media accounts. If a guest cancels with enough lead time, we will attempt to book a new guest to take their spot in the lineup.
The guest I wanted to meet cancelled. How do I get a ticket refund?
As stated on the Tickets page, guest cancellations are not cause for ticket refunds.
What day is so-and-so going to be at Illinois Comic Con?
To see the specific dates a guest will be joining us, please visit their entry on our Guests page.
What time is so-and-so going to be at their table?
When not in a scheduled Q&A, Photo Op, or taking a short break, guests will be at their tables. Please note that sometimes a guest may need to leave early on their final scheduled appearance day to catch their flight home.
What will each guest be doing at Illinois Comic Con?
All guests will sign autographs and take photos with attendees. Some guests will be taking professional Photo Ops. Some guests will be participating in Q&As with attendees. Once we get closer to the event, (usually a month out), the Q&A schedule will be posted to the Program page.
How much are autographs and photos?
Click the guest's photo on the Guests page to see their prices. If a guest's price is not listed, then we have not yet been provided their price list by their management. Please note that not every guest may choose to list their prices online.
They're not free?
Nope. This is how our guests make money between gigs.
Why are the prices different for different guests?
Pricing is provided by each guest's management team. We have no control over guest pricing, and prices are subject to change at any time, as set by the guest's management.
What will guests sign?
Celebrity guests will sign most anything that you pay for them to sign. There may be notable exceptions for some guests, but these are pretty rare. You can bring items from home, buy an item from an artist of vendor, or pick up items from a guest's table.
Where do I pay for autographs?
Autographs, selfies, and combos (an autograph and a selfie) are purchased at the guest's table during the event.
What's the difference between a selfie and a Photo Op?
Selfies are taken at the guest's table with your phone/camera.
Photo Ops take place in the Photo Ops area. For Photo Ops, you'll enter the photo area and a professional, optimally lit photo of you and the guest will be taken against a neutral backdrop with a DSLR camera. Two fans may be in a photo with a single ticket, families may have two adults and three children under 16 in a Photo Op with a single ticket. Photo Ops includes a digital copy of the photo as well as a high-quality 8x10" photo printed using professional, dye-sublimation photo printers. Many folks will take their photo to the guest's table to be autographed (autograph pricing is NOT included in the Photo Ops price; visit the Guests page for autograph pricing). Photo Ops may be purchased ahead of the event through the link below. The Photo Ops schedule will be published on this page as we get closer to the event.
To avoid confusion, a Photo Op is NOT a meet and greet. The process is very quick without time to converse with the guest(s). It is a photo opportunity in the literal sense of the word. If you would like to converse with the guest, we strongly suggest you opt for an autograph, as the autograph process is typically a slower moving process.
Is the price for an autograph on the professional photo included in the Photo Ops price?
No. The Photo Ops price is for the photo. An autograph is additional at the guest's price.
Will there be lines to the guest's tables?
There can sometimes be long lines. Some guests draw more fans to their tables than others. Some want to give each fan as much time as possible at their table. Please be patient. If you expect to get many autographs, want to see a lot of panels and Q&As, or participate in gaming, you may want to buy a weekend pass and attend both days.
Do you accept cash or card? What about guests and exhibitors?
We accept cash, debit, or credit cards at the door. Our official merchandise booth also accepts cash and cards, Most celebrities only accept cash. Most exhibitors accept cash and cards. There will be ATMs on-site if you need to withdraw cash.
Is there a separate charge to attend guest Q&As?
All Q&As and panels are free to attend with paid admission.
What day/time is so-and-so's Q&A?
The Q&A schedule will be posted on this page and on the Program page as we get closer to the event.
