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!

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.

Creation celebrates our many years of Convention Memories

 

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 marshall 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 and Breakfast: 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!

 

 

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!

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GO GOLD:

1) You get the VERY BEST reserved seating for daytime convention MAIN AUDITORIUM events, both days. See all our celebrities up close, great for photographers too! The MAIN AUDITORIUM is where we have star appearances, Q&A, contests, videos, special events, and more.

2) FREE in-person non-rushed autographs from celebrities in attendance: A GREAT DEAL, worth a huge portion of the gold ticket package price alone! Includes JOE FLANIGAN, DAVID HEWLETT, GARY JONES, ALAINA HUFFMAN and BRIAN SMITH. The value of these autographs purchased separately is $120, so this is an awesome benefit of Gold Packages!

3) FREE ADMISSION to our super-fun DESSERT PARTY on Saturday Evening! Celebrate with celebrities and fellow fans. You’ll get to personally meet all the celebs attending the party! This event is exclusive to GOLD WEEKEND PATRONS! Featuring BRIAN SMITH, GARY JONES and additional guest to be announced.

5) GOLD PRE-REGISTRATION: you get to register FIRST during a special pre-registration block of time. While not a necessity, just a benefit option, you can get your credentials early and you are set!

6) SPECIAL CODED WRISTBANDS: once you get your GOLD coded wristband this allows you immediate entrance for the entire three days so you don’t have to wait again.

GENERAL ADMISSION WEEKEND PACKAGES

These packages are the most economical way to attend all three days of the weekend. You get to see it all: the guests and events, from a non-reserved seat in the rear of the theatre. It is one of the greatest financial deals in live entertainment we think: wonderful stars of a favorite franchise live and in person in an intimate setting.

GENERAL ADMISSION WEEKEND PACKAGES are priced at only $49 each

Tickets wil be available at the event.

 


PREFERRED DAILY TICKETS

This is the best way to attend any one or two days of the convention, because you get a reserved seat for that day to see all the stars and events. This seat is to the side or rear of our Gold and Preferred Weekend Patrons. Note that this option does not include autographs but autograph tickets are available separately.


SATURDAY $45
SUNDAY $45

Tickets wil be available at the event.

 

 

SINGLE DAY GENERAL ADMISSION

Here is the most economical (cheapest!) way to attend any one day of the convention. You see everything from a non-reserved seat in the rear of the theatre. A great deal for a full day of themed entertainment: there is no other better bargain we think!


SATURDAY $25
SUNDAY $25

Tickets wil be available at the event.

 

 

autograph tickets

AUTOGRAPH TICKETS

Autograph and Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention.  In order to receive your photo ops and autographs at the convention you must also be a convention attendee by having an advance admission ticket (bought on-line) or purchasing one at the door.

Here's the chance to receive in-person autographs from your favorite sci-fi celebrities. Note that if you have a particular autograph as part of your ticket package and want a 2nd (or more) signatures you can have all your signing done at once when you first go up to the celebrity. Autographs are done in a non-rushed comfortable manner.

JOE FLANIGAN (SUNDAY): $30

DAVID HEWLETT(SUNDAY): $30

GARY JONES (SATURDAY): $20

BRIAN SMITH (SATURDAY): $20

ALAINA HUFFMAN (SATURDAY): $20

June 8: We have heard from Dan Shea that he will be filming and unable to fulfill his convention appearance obligations. We wish Dan well and look forward to working with him in the future. Chad Colvin of Gateworld.net will be hosting the convention in place of Dan. For those that had separate autograph tickets or photo ops with Dan (of the duo photo op with Dan and Gary) you can use those tickets as "cash" at the convention for other tickets or merchandise.

Autographs Note: Patrons must bring an item for celebrities to sign. You can bring something from home or purchase a photo or other collectible in the vendors room. Please feel free to purchase as many autograph tickets of a particular celebrity as you'd like.

Guests appear ONE day of the convention, so therefore their autographing and/or photo ops take place that day, except in VERY rare occasions which will be noted. If you are not attending all days of the convention it is wise to wait until specific days of appearance are announced before purchasing autographs or photo ops. You must have an admission ticket to the convention to get autographs or photo ops.

 

PHOTO OPS

OWN THE JPEG OF YOUR PHOTO OP FROM PAST CREATION CONVENTIONS

Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention. You must have an admission ticket for the convention to enter into the photo op areas. Due to security considerations and guest concerns we cannot facilitate the giving of gifts to guests at the photo op sessions. LIMIT OF TWO FANS PER PHOTO-OP, NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE!

Our favorite souvenir, here is the opportunity to have a professionally shot full color 8 by 10 photograph of YOU with your favorite genre celebrities. You'll really love these!

HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS
STAY OVERNIGHT and party (or just relax and enjoy!). Special lower than normal room rates of $109 a night for singles, doubles or twins are available by calling the hotel at 612 349 4000. Mention the Stargate Convention to get these lower rates. Parking for overnight guests is $9.00

 

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.
