Swaps and Upgrades:
If you purchase an individual day pass or weekend pass, you have the option to swap your days or upgrade to a more costly pass, like VIP or a Speed Pass. If the pass you swap for is less than your original pass, you are not granted a refund for the difference. If the price is more than your original pass, you will need to pay the difference for the swap.
To swap or upgrade, go to your confirmation email, click on view order online, and from there you’ll have the options available.
Photographs and Autographs:
Photographs and autographs are not included in the price of your passes. Some similar shows provide packages, we like to let you customize what you want to do, and to pay accordingly. Costs associated with autographs and photographs, as well as availability, will be published closer to the event and announced on social media and via the Comicpalooza eNewsletter. There are a limited number available for some. Don’t miss this opportunity to see your favorite celebrity in person, get a photo taken or a collectible signed.
This year our photo and autograph provider, Epic Photo Ops, allows you to purchase your photo and/or autographs now and pay later through, Affirm, on any purchases over $100. All other options including the term and interest rate will be determined based on a soft credit check.
Please note, while all photographs will be available for pre-sale as well as at the show if not sold out, some autographs will only be available at the show. So don’t worry, just because you don’t see an autograph for your favorite celebrity in our pre-sale items, you’ll still have the opportunity at the show.
