If a guest cancels their attendance, do I get a refund?

If a guest cancels, refunds are handled as follows:

  • Entry tickets are not refundable and will remain valid for the event unless the event itself is cancelled in full.

  • Photoshoot tickets (and other guest-specific add-on tickets) will be automatically refunded if the guest associated with that ticket cancels.

  • Refunds are guest-specific only. The cancellation of a guest does not entitle the ticket holder to a refund on entry tickets or unrelated add-ons.

PHOTO OPS

Can more than one person be in a photo op?

Yes, you can have more than one person in the photo op. Each person is required to have their own photo op ticket and you will each get a photo to take home.

If I have more than one photo ticket (or going in with a friend) can I have different poses?

Yes, but if the photoshoot is busy, make sure the photographer is aware. Please remember to keep your poses simple and be ready to pose as soon as you are next to the guest.

Can I get a digital copy of my photo op?

At the moment we don’t offer digital versions of photos. It’s something we’re looking into for future events, but for now only printed photos are available on the day.

What size is the photo I get?

Our prints are 6×9. 

COSPLAY

Can I cosplay?

Yes! We encourage people in costume. We have a dedicated Cosplay Zone where you will find our fantastic Cosplay Guests and our Cosplay stage.

How do I enter the cosplay masquerade?

Our Cosplay Masquerade is very popular so pre-registration is advised. Follow this link for more information

What is the replica weapons policy?

All rules regarding cosplay can be found here

PHOTOGRAPHY

Can I take photos or video with the guests?

We recognise that getting a photo with a guest can be important. Therefore, when you meet the guest to obtain your autograph, there is usually no further charge for taking a photo with them.

Please also bear in mind that whilst guests are often willing to pose for photos with fans, there may be many reasons why they decline. If this happens please do respect their wishes – there will be signs clearly on display to indicate when photography is not allowed and this includes taking photos of them in the autograph area.

However, as the day progresses, it does sometimes become necessary to stop photos in order that the guests can get through demand and meet more people, otherwise there would be fans that would go home not having met them at all.

Can I take photos or video with the other attendees?

Getting memories of your visit is part of the experience so we do permit photography at the events. Please be respectful of any areas where it is advertised that it is not permitted. Also it is courteous to ask permission to those you are photographing. Many of our cosplayers want to share their outfits with you but be nice to each other and respectful of their wishes.

Can I take videos?

The use of video cameras is permitted in the exhibitor’s room, although we would advise asking someone’s permission before filming them. All we ask is that you use your discretion and not to film anyone that doesn’t want to be filmed (this goes for fans, staff and dealers as well as guests).
Video Cameras and video/sound recording equipment (including the use of recording facilities on mobile phones) is NOT allowed into Guest Talks or screenings. This is for a number of reasons both legal and practical.

What does no posed photos and no photos signs mean?

When these signs are posted it means that the guest has requested either no posed photos taken or no photos taken while they are at their table. This can be requested for a number of reasons and we ask that you respect it.

OTHER

Talks - How do the free talks work?

Entrance to the free talks are on a first come basis. The area is emptied after each talk to allow fairness.

Trading - How do I get a stall?

How can I volunteer?

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please see the “Join The Team” section of the website

Can I just talk to a guest?

We have a number of people who want to meet our guests and as such it is not always possible to allow people to just come up for a chat, particularly when they have a large queue. If the guest has a quiet queue, however, you are welcome to have your chat.

Who do I talk to if I have a problem?

If at any point during the day you have any issues, your first port of call would be to speak to any of our crew (wearing Creed lanyards) but if for some reason they can’t help, you can ask to speak to someone on our sales desk.

Please note that it is very hard for us to rectify any issues you have after the event so please do highlight these at the time so we can assist in making your visit enjoyable.

I need to leave early but have paid for activities.

Our activities can occur throughout the whole day so please keep this in mind when booking travel arrangements. We are not able to expedite you in the queues or move activities due to travel arrangements being made too early or late.
