HOW DO I MEET A CELEBRITY?
• Most guests have policies where they charge for photographs with them. Some may respectfully request a fee be paid before taking a picture.
• All celebrities have a cost associated to their autograph. Most artist guests do not charge for autographs, however, there are some that may. Each guest sets his/her own price for autographs and photos at the table. You may purchase as many signatures or pictures as you are willing to pay for (possibly limited by how large the remaining line is behind you, of course).
• Autographs can be purchased at (weregoingback.com/store) and/or at the actual booth where the autographs are being done. The celebrity will usually have a guest liaison that will take care of the monetary transaction.
• Autographs can only be purchased with cash.
• You can bring your own items to autograph. However, it is up to the guest to accept or refuse to sign a given item. Guests will usually refuse to sign any bootlegged material.
