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 Twilight, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly fandom (to name just a few) and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans. |

**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! |

PLEASE READ THIS PAGE COMPLETELY BEFORE ORDERING ANY TICKETS.
Be sure of which day a guest is doing photo ops/autographs
before purchasing your admission tickets.
Please note that tickets for this event are delivered to you via e-mail in PDF format which you should print out and bring with you to convention registration. Most customers receive their PDF tickets within 3 business days of having placed their order. 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! |

Wow! The 2010 Official Xena Convention was fantastic fun for all in attendance. As always it was great to see all the wonderful fans from around the globe and welcome new attendees for the first time. Our guest celebrities were all outstanding and Lucy and Renee were sensational as usual, this year actually performing a short play on stage. Renee looked sensational at her photo ops wearing a Gabrielle costume! Lucy made time for her fans despite starring in her new hit series SPARTACUS and that is just another reason why we love her. These ladies never disappoint and it is a continuing pleasure to be associated with them. Another awesome highlight was the Cleopatra 2525 reunion with Gina Torres, Victoria Pratt, and Jennifer Sky on stage together. They were hilarious! Please check out some of these photo memories and we look forward to welcoming you to the 2011 convention!

SPECIAL GUESTS
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!
Make sure to be on our XENA e-mail newsletter list to get announcements about XENA events!
