UFOCon FAQ & Rules
We don't have ALL the answers of the Universe, but we do have them for our event!
How can I purchase UFOCon tickets?
You can pre-order tickets by visiting the “Tickets” section of our website. You can also purchase tickets at the door during the convention via cash and credit card at a non-discounted rate, if we are not already sold out.
What is the refund policy for tickets?
Tickets are non-refundable.
I pre-ordered my tickets; How do I redeem them?
Go directly to the “Will Call” area and give us your name.
Do you offer “professional registration”, discounts for industry professionals, group/bulk or military discounts?
Not at this time. We price the tickets as low as we can already.
Where can I find the celebrity autograph/photo schedule?
Many fan conventions charge separately for an autograph and photograph. We will be offering Autographs with "Selfies" (1 person at a time; 1 ticket) for some of our celebrity guests. Schedule will be posted prior to event.
Can I purchase a celebrity autograph with selfie ticket online?
No. Celebrity autographs with selfies are sold onsite during exhibit hall hours, and are cash only.
How/where do I purchase a celebrity autograph with selfie ticket?
You would go to the “Star Sighting” area of the exhibit hall. Once there, you would proceed to a given celebrity’s queue and purchase however many autographs you want. Autograph sales are cash only.
I only want a celebrity autograph or just a selfie. Can I get a discount?
No. It is a combined experience with each celebrity. If you wish to not do one, it's up to you but no discount will be given. You may bring one item from home to sign, or have your program show guide autographed.
DISCLAIMERS:
-
We know it’s disheartening, but guest appearances are subject to cancellation or schedule change at any time. We bring working TV celebrities and active UFO/Paranormal Investigators to the show and their professional schedules can change with very little notice.
-
Some Guests may charge additional fees for autographs and photo opportunities. Please double check pricing at the autograph tables or check with staff day of event.
-
Guests will generally appear for the duration of the event, although some may only available for a shorter amount of time (i.e. a single day). Appearance day(s) will be posted on the website once confirmed by the Guest or their Management.
-
All events, panels, autograph sessions and photo opportunities have limited capacities and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, unless otherwise noted.
-
-
Child (ages 3-9) passes have specific ages attached to them, and we may ask to see proof of age if your little UFO Hunter looks to be out of sync with the pass they are wearing. Children aged 3 and under can attend for free and do not require a ticket.
-
Our lawyers suggest we say this: ticket holder grants to BMK Publishing LLC, entities affiliated with UFOCon®, and their respective agents the unrestricted right and license to use the holder's name, likeness and voice in any production, reproduction, distribution, transmission, publication, public performance, broadcast or exhibition of advertisements, broadcast or telecast of the Event, promotions, contests, photograph taken, or other transmission or reproduction in connection with the Event for any purpose, without compensation.
-
Occasionally, we may offer special promotions. These promotions cannot be combined with any other offers or used on previous purchases. Other restrictions may apply.
-
UFOCon® reserves the right to change and/or alter these terms and conditions at any time deemed necessary.
