AUTOGRAPH POLICY

 

Anime Milwaukee will no longer be sponsoring free signing sessions; all autographs will be paid sessions going forward. Anime Milwaukee does not, and can not guarantee that you will receive an autograph from a Guest during the convention.

 

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.


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

The Autographs room has a section of seating at the front of the room for our Accessibility/ADA attendees. When you arrive at the Autographs hall, present your badge with your Accessibility Needs indication from the Customer Service/Accessibility team to one of the Autographs Staff members.

If there is a line for your desired Guest of Honor, you will not be required to wait in line. Instead, you and one companion will be offered a seat in the ADA waiting area. You will receive a ticket with a number, of which a matching ticket will be given to the attendee currently at the end of the Guest's line. When that attendee reaches the front of the line, they will return their ticket to the Guest's Liaison, who will come to escort you to the line.

If you desire additional autographs, you must inform the Autographs Staff of your next selection before returning to your seat, so they can distribute tickets once more. You may only have one set of tickets/be in one line at a time.

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.
