How come the autograph schedule The WB put out has shows that are Fox or CBS?

For example, they list a Fringe signing session at the WB Booth, but isn’t Fringe Fox? So shouldn’t it be at the Fox booth? I’m just wondering if schedule on thewb.com (http://www.thewb.com/comiccon/schedule) lists the signings for all shows..

Often the booth autograph signings are via drawing, too. Best bet … double check at the booth in question ASAP. They might also have a comic-con page on their website with more info before the con or have an ad in the Event Guide.

* If it’s just a line up … skip the panel, go to the booth, and get in line.

* If it’s a drawing, make sure to get a drawing ticket at the booth (they often will either start giving them out on Wed or Thur until they run out -or- only hand out a certain number each day), write the booth # and drawing date/time on the back of your ticket, remember to check to see if you’ve won, and if so, ask when/where they expect you to be in line.

If you’re interested in getting booth autographs, I suggest that you stop at the booth(s) in question on Preview Night or early Thursday morning. Be prepared to have to choose between autographs or panels.

Also, sometimes at the panels they will give away special prizes like DVD sets, posters, or signed photos for those who ask the best questions. Another good reason to be prepared and ask a thoughtful question (meaning not one that has been asked a million times)!

Most autograph sessions have posters for the people to sign, some don’t. If you’re really desperate they can sign your Comic-Con guide.

For autographs, do you have to bring a photo or something else for them to autograph or are there usually things available at con (free or to buy) for them to sign? And this is mostly for movie/tv stars I’m talking about – not comics or books.

Is the only way to get autographs from cast members on panels is to skip the panel and get in line at the studios booth on the floor while the panel is speaking? Or do u have to get a special ticket to get an autograph (ex: cast of Chuck or Big Bang)? Last year, I missed getting into the Big bang panel and still couldnt get an autograph from the cast. I just want to know how to do it right this year. Thanks

Sometimes if the panel members have time, or something they’ll stick around to give things out or sign autographs. this happened to me last year during a few panels.
And now the ticket retrieval room, is in a hotel, the marriot i think.. but its the in the convention center this year sadly..

Its always a different place. They move to the floor at the booths for signings.

@Rick – so that would be separate from the panels? For example, I know for sure Chuck had autograph signings last year..

I guess my question is, IF they are doing autographs, would it be at the same place/time as the panel, or different?

Thanks for putting up w/ these questions!

In general you cant meet the people on the huge panels. Some will do autographs on the floor with huge lines, most wont. They need the panels to keep moving.
