General Policy & Pricing

Guests reserve the right to refuse to autograph anything based on their own, individual discretion. Furthermore, autographs are on a first-come, first-served basis within the scheduled time. You are not guaranteed an autograph.

Guests are free to charge for their items at their own discretion. AMKE is not responsible for setting individual Guest prices. Please speak to the Guest or their assistant for questions regarding at-table purchases. This information is not available ahead of the convention.

Autograph signing hours are at the discretion of the Guest. As we are no longer sponsoring free signing sessions, the Guest will determine their signing schedule. While there may be posted signing sessions in Guidebook, they are subject to change at any time.

Gifts for Guests

Guests may accept or refuse gifts at their discretion. Any consumables, whether pre-packaged or homemade, are not allowed under any circumstances. Please be considerate of the Guests and remember they meet hundreds of attendees over the weekend and have extremely limited suitcase space. Anything larger than approximately the size of a tennis ball is unlikely to make it home with them.

Be Courteous

Waiting in line is not the most enjoyable thing to do, but please be patient. Autographs Staff will do their very best to get as many people through the lines. Please be courteous and understanding to those around you, whether to fellow attendees, staff or our esteemed Guests. Autograph policies may be adjusted to help the line flow as deemed necessary. If there are any questions, you are always welcome to ask Autographs Staff. For the health and safety of all, please respect the personal space of Guests, staff members and fellow attendees while in line and while receiving autographs.

VIP Badge Holders

Members with a VIP badge tier will be able to skip the line once per guest. There will no longer be a private VIP signing block. Badges will be marked once you have used your skip the line benefit for an individual guest. You may not transfer a skip the line benefit from one guest’s line to another, in order to ensure fairness for everyone.

Banned Items

Ahegao and other similarly sexually graphic or pornographic items are not allowed to be autographed.

Video / Audio Recording

Video and audio requests are handled on a guest-by-guest basis and is up to their discretion.

Accessibility Accommodations

When you arrive at the Autographs Hall, present your badge with your Accessibility Needs indicator, obtainable from the Attendee Services team, to one of the Autograph Staff members.

A staff member will escort you and up to one companion to the center of the hall, which will be dedicated to our Accessibility/ADA attendees, serving as a waiting queue, resting spot, and information desk for any questions. Additional chairs are available near the entrance for those waiting on other members of their party to finish their time in the hall.

If there is a line for your desired Guest of Honor, you will not be required to stand in line. Instead, you and up to one companion will be offered a seat in the ADA waiting area. You will receive a labelled-card with your guest's name and the time you should expect to see them. Once that time is reached, a volunteer will escort you to the front of the line. If you wish to see additional guests, this process will repeat.

Once all the desired autographs have been obtained, please exit the room to allow for appropriate opportunities for other Accessibility/ADA attendees. If a line cut is to occur due to demand or time constraints, individuals who have a seat in the room will not be cut from the line.
