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!

SALUTE TO FIREFLY and SERENITY

A Celebration for Fans

Updated: May 12, 2008

STAY OVERNIGHT WITH US
AT OUR HOST HOTEL & PARTY!

Here's just some of the wonderful e-mails we received about our 2007 event!
They really sum up the experience beautifully.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier is your staff and volunteers were all SO friendly and free with any information and always happy to answer questions, it makes you feel like your patronage is appreciated and may I reiterate, the organization was phenomenal, I know many more people will attend next year and you asked for some suggestions for supporting people to be there, obviously Joss would be a major coup but it would also be nice to see Cristina Hendricks, Mark Sheppard, Michael Fairman, Richard Brooks, Melinda Clarke, Jonathan Woodward and Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Krumholz from Serenity the movie would be great. - L.

Just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time at this convention. The guests were great and lots of fun. I was only able to make it Sunday but, WOW, what a day. Was so much fun when we ended up with all the guests up on stage at the same time so unexpectedly. Nathan of course was so funny!! Looking forward to next year and will definitely do both days. My friend had a great time (was her first Scifi convention). She is already making plans to go next year with me and to go to some others also. Leticia as always was so nice and organized. Would be great for next year if you could also get: Jewel Staite J She is the only one from “Firefly” that I have not had the pleasure of meeting. Will see you this weekend at the Farscape convention!! - R.R.

 

The Firefly/ Serenity Convention was quite simply THE BEST convention I have ever been to. Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend, and thanks to your staff members, who were always very helpful, gracious and professional, hope to see you again soon. - M.C.

I just got home from this weekends event and wanted to thank you and your staff for a great time. I have been to a few of Creations shows in Phoenix ( I wish you would come back ) and enjoyed them very much, but this show blew them all away. I love the fact that although you have a schedule to keep, you allow some deviation for the stars and fans interaction. Once again, I hade a great time and hope to come to another show real soon. - L.E.

 

I wanted to share that I felt I was extraordinarily lucky to attend the Creation's convention for "Firefly"/"Serenity."

The weekend felt like I was taking part in a warm and loving family reunion in which everyone had come together to celebrate Joss Whedon's "Firefly" universe (affectionately known as "the 'verse").

Clearly, the actors are very fond of one other as they greeted each other with big bear hugs, slaps on the back, and tons of good-natured ribbing. They also seemed just as delighted to be there so say "hi!" to their adoring fans. The massive ballroom room buzzed with excitement and warmth as everyone came together.

One of the highlights of the weekend was when Nathan Fillion made a surprise appearance on Saturday during Alan Tudyk's Q&A. Nathan had only been scheduled to appear on Sunday afternoon, so those of us who came for both days were in for a special treat. Not wanting to be left out of the fun, Morena returned on stage with Alan and Nathan and it was purely heaven time for the fans as they all teased each other mercilessly and with great humor. Given this little jokester prank, Alan happily returned the favor on Sunday to disrupt and provide some great comedy during Nathan's Q&A which prompted Summer and Sean to also come back out on stage and share in all the fun.

So there was a lot of spontaneous appearances and re-appearances which only continued to delight the fans. It made the experience all the more special to be a part of. Thank you! - T.

 

Just wanted to write and tell you what a wonderful time I just had at the Creation Entertainment Salute to Serenity and Firefly. It was very well organized and your staff was accommodating and helpful. The guests were wonderful - they seemed relaxed and comfortable and appeared to have as much fun as the fans. I'd never been to a convention before and had my reservations about attending, but I had such a great time this weekend that I've already signed up for next year. Thanks for the great show! See you next year. - S.Y.

 

Thanks so much for a great event, as always. The cast members were all great to see and that's largely because of the comfortable and classy environment you folks provide for them. Our interest in Firefly began with comments posted about Nathan Fillion's appearances at other Creation events, so we checked out the DVD set and were immediately hooked. Meeting the on-screen cast, and talking with some of the behind-the-scenes folks was outstanding and only makes us hungry for more; more about what's already been done and, hopefully, new experiences in the future (dare we say "Serenity 2: The Return of Wash"?). Anyway, we wanted to pass along out thanks and we hope to attend next year's salute. - T & F J

By the way........I wanted to to say that last weekend's Firefly/Serenity Convention was the best ever......Nathan Fillion just made our weekend with his humor and the way he greeted us for the photo op, he was very welcoming and when he was onstage we couldn't stop laughing the entire time. Thank you and Creation for giving us the best weekend we have had in a long time. - A.

I just wanted to thank Creation Entertainment for showing me such a great time and giving me some great memories. The Staff was very friendly and helpful, the stars were a lot of fun to hang out with and the fans were super great. I enjoyed being a part of the Charity Auction helping with taking down the banners. It was a great running gag. The weekend was full of surprises with the stars sharing time on stage with each other. Thank you Creation for making a very tall man smile. - D.L.

I was at your recent Firefly/Serenity Salute in Burbank...it was my first Creation event, and I had so much fun, I want to come again! I will write more comments about what an awesome time I had last weekend as soon as I have a moment to sit down and do it justice. - S.

Thanks again for the best convention ever! - T. - P.S. Love the photos!!!

Thanks so much...you totally rocked the photo ops...hope you're there next year, too! - S.

OMG - I just opened the Summer & Sean pic and turned to a puddle...LOL! Please thank Ted for capturing this moment for me...you guys rock my world! All the very best, P.

First of all, thank you for the wonderful Firefly/Serenity convention last month! It was the second convention I attended, and I loved it so much. It was open and friendly and full of surprises and I'd definitely do it again next year in a heartbeat. - K.B.

I wanted to say thanks to all involved with that convention for putting on such a great event. The staff, stars & fellow fans were great throughout the weekend. I have to say I have a set of great memories from that weekend. I went along with a friend who loved the show and we have been to all of the Burbank conventions for the Firefly/serenity but by far this one was the most well organized and continually fun one yet. I had a blast and she loved every second of weekend with the stars, stories and everything Firefly/Serenity. Thank you all, J.N.

This convention was easily my best Creation experience ever! - Cheers, R.

By the way the Firefly/Serenity, Stargate and Galactica Conv. this year were absolutely fabulous. These few words don't even describe how much fun they were. Thank you and ALL of your staff for all the good and memorable times we have had at your Conventions. Happy Holidays. Your Fans, G. & M. Workman

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!

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

You can check our fan feedback section and you'll see how EVERYONE loves these and we're really proud of this fact. Lots of our Creation staff have their favorite photo ops framed in their offices and we can see how they've aged over the years as the majority of our staff have been with us for 10 years or more!

Creation Entertainment holds a "block" of rooms for our attendees. These blocks of rooms have a lower rate than standard rates at the hotel, but they also have a "cut-off" point after which hotels may choose to revert back to their own higher rates for our customers. Usually this cut off date is one month prior to the event, but this does vary. Therefore it is always wise to book your rooms for our conventions as early as possible.
