The Conventions are for everyone of all ages. We have ticket options that allow you to get involved a little or a lot. For most people, the convention is an immersive experience. That's why we call it a Weekend of Science Fiction Overload. For the uninitiated, you can start out with just a Friday Only ticket to find out what this Starfest thing is all about. If you get hooked, we'll let you upgrade your membership at the show and charge you only the difference in price.
Friday Only - Friday is our warm-up day. Programming starts at 6pm and continues past midnight. You'll be able to socialize late into the night, view some great videos and buy collectibles. We've expanded our Friday programming this year with guests and programming in our Main Events Room. Friday is not included in Saturday or Sunday Only memberships.
Saturday - Saturday is the biggest day of the convention. The show starts at about 8AM and continues past Midnight. Unfortunately, because of the mult-track programming at Starfest, there is no way to see and do everything. Events run simultaneously and you must pick and choose from the selection. We work really hard to program events that cater to just about everyone's taste and interests. Keep in mind it's very much like an all-you-can-eat buffet, everything looks great, but there is a limit to how much you can eat - pick and choose wisely!
Saturday VIP - Lines and waiting for good seats can cause you to miss a lot at the convention. When you have a VIP membership, you free-up valuable time to see more stuff. VIP Members get a special express line at Registration, a special lanyard for your membership pass, and a Reserved Seat in the Main Events Room. Going VIP lets you say goodbye to seat camping through events you don't really want to see because you are hoping to keep the seat for your favorite guests. See VIP seating notes for additional details.
Sunday - It used to be that Sunday was a more subdued day at the convention. Now that we've added unique guests for Sunday, those days are over. Make sure you check the schedule to see which guests are scheduled for Sunday, if the people that you want to see are appearing that day, Sunday might be just what you're looking for. Gratefully, after a long weekend of Science Fiction Overload, Sunday's activities wrap-up at 8:00pm.
Sunday VIP - Just like the Saturday VIP, you'll experience less line waiting and seat camping by having your own Reserved Seat in the Main Events Room and a special lanyard for your membership pass. Since there are also less VIP seats sold on Sunday, you usually get a better Reserved Seat if you're trying to decide between Saturday or Sunday. But keep in mind that we reserve even better seats for the people that buy 3-Day VIP passes. See VIP seating notes for additional details.
3-Day VIP - If you want to experience the Weekend of Science Fiction Overload to its fullest, this is the Membership for you! All the perks of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday VIP tickets - PLUS - a much better reserved seat in the Main Events Room. We reserve the front center section for our Weekend Reserved Seating guests (just behind the Platinum Members). The only membership better than this is Platinum. See VIP seating notes for additional details.
Platinum 3-Day VIP - All the perks of a 3-Day VIP and more! The VERY BEST seats in our Main Events Room are reserved for Platinum 3-Day VIP members.

The second great perk of Platinum Membership is special autograph privileges. You receive a special convention lanyard that identifies you as a Platinum Member. At the autograph tables, there is a special Platinum Member line for each of the guests that alternates with the General Admission line to speed you through as quickly as possible.

Exclusive 10% discount at the Starland tables in the dealer's room. Why pay full-price for your collectibles? Get a discount right on the spot on any of the thousands of items we have for sale. Just present your Platinum card when making your purchase.

Did we mention Seniority? Not only do you get the best seats with a Platinum Membership, you also get first pick at the best seats for next year's convention. If you have any questions about getting a Platinum Membership, just ask anyone in the front 3 rows of the convention about it. They will tell you all about it.

Note: Platinum membership does not include any autograph fees that guests may be charging, but it does shorten your time in the autograph lines.

VIP Seating Notes
VIP Seating is for the Guest Speakers and Specific Reserved Seating events in the Main Events room. Those events are noted on the convention schedule. Seating in the Main Events Room is similar to a concert venue, seats closest to the stage are reserved and the seats on the sides and in the back are for General Admission ticket holders.  Having a VIP Membership allows you to come and go throughout the day and know that your assigned seat will be waiting for you when you come back.  

You need to be in your reserved seat 10 minutes prior to the reserved seating events you want to attend. Five minutes prior to an event, the empty reserved seats are opened to General Admission Members. We do this to make sure that the seats closest to the front are full before our guests come on stage. All we want them to see is room full of happy people anxious to see them.

Special performances and certain activities may include an additional fee as noted in the Activities and Schedule. Most of the actors charge for autographs - that is not included.

Autograph Tickets
 

It’s one thing to see your favorite actors on stage during the Q&A sessions, but to meet them face to face and get a personally signed item from them takes your convention experience to a whole different level.

What you have signed is up to you (within the bounds of good taste). You can bring something from home, get a photo or some other item from the dealer’s room, or even purchase a special photo from the guest right at the autograph table. Some people even like to get their program books signed.

Autograph tickets can be purchased online prior to the convention or at the Autograph Ticket booth just outside the Dealers Room. Autograph times will be posted at the Autograph tables during the convention. You are entitled to one autograph per autograph ticket, but there is no limit to the number of tickets you can purchase.

Each guest is scheduled to sign for a limited amount of time. If you should be unable to get a guest’s autograph before the guest has finished signing, your autograph ticket is fully refundable.

Each guest has two Autograph lines – one for Platinum Members and one for everyone else. The lines alternate to keep both lines moving.

 

Photo with the Stars

How would you like to take home a professional 8x10 photo print of you with your favorite star from the convention? While we would like to offer this opportunity to everyone, due to time constraints, there will only be a very limited number of tickets available for each Photo with the Stars session.

Your Photo with the Stars ticket entitles you to pose with the guest of your choice at the Photo with the Stars Studio. Shortly after your photo is taken you will be able to pick it up. We’ve timed the photo sessions so you’ll have an opportunity to have your picture signed after the photo session (requires a separate ticket) during your guest’s autograph session.

Photo with the Stars tickets entitle you to one photo. Groups are allowed to pose in the photo, but each person in the group must purchase a photo ticket (each person will also receive a copy of the photo). Tickets can be ordered online and purchased at the convention until they are sold out.

Note: This doesn't mean you can't take pictures of the guests at the convention. We happily encourage still photography at the show - we do not, however, allow (and never have) video taping at the show. You will be asked to leave the convention if you attempt to videotape any of the activities at the show without prior written permission.
