Guest Appearances

While all guests are booked and promoted by us in good faith and assurance that they will appear, unforeseen events may cause guests to cancel, including but not limited to: scheduling conflicts, health issues, emergency, and inclement weather. All conventions suffer cancellations for one reason or another. Although cancellations are disappointing for all of us, tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE as they are a guarantee for access into the convention and not a guarantee of any particular advertised guest. Since we do offer a large selection of talent, shopping, exhibits, and entertainment at Famous Monsters Halloween Convention™, guest cancellations will NOT be a consideration for any ticket refund request.

ANY CANCELED GUEST PHOTO OP OR AUTOGRAPH WILL BE REFUNDED WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS POST CLOSE OF SHOW.

 

Exhibitor Items

Famous Monsters Halloween Convention™, Cosmic-Con, LLC, its officers, employees, affiliates, licensors, sponsors, and advertisers are not responsible for sales of any items or services offered by individual exhibitors or guests. Each exhibitor or guest is an independent business or person and is responsible for the quality, authenticity, and safety of any and all items sold at the convention.

 

Weapons

Do not bring real weapons to Famous Monsters Halloween Convention™. They will be confiscated and turned over to the police. You may also face criminal charges. Do not bring knives, guns, throwing stars, swords, spears, incendiary devices, or anything else that would be classified as a weapon. Brandishing a weapon will result in your immediate ejection from the convention with no refund.

 

Conduct

Famous Monsters Halloween Convention™ is a fun and safe space. This means we expect all visitors to be respectful of the rules to create a safe environment for fans of any ethnicity, creed, religious background, political background, gender, gender identity, sexual identity, sexual orientation, fandom, etc. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. This includes, but is not limited to: physical assault, verbal harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, unwanted physical contact, unwanted advances, or inappropriate photography. Inappropriate photography is defined as photography where the subject feels they are being stalked, exploited, degraded, or disrespected through being photographed. While it is reasonable to expect that photographers will be photographing cosplayers and other parts of the convention, should this photography become harassing or sexual in nature, the photographer will be subject to the above harassment policy. Harassment is defined by the victim.

If it is determined – either by observation or by complaint – that an individual or group has harassed another attendee, that individual or group may be:

1. Warned to cease and desist;
2. Asked to leave the convention, or;
3. Removed from the convention for a period of time to be determined by staff.

For your own safety, if you feel that you are being harassed, please report your problems to the staff before anyone else. If you cannot find a staff, crew, or volunteer member to assist you, please go to the information desks located near registration or near the entrance of the exhibition floor. Please report to us before taking matters into your own hands (such as personally confronting the aggressor or posting on social media). We have professional security and they are properly equipped for these contingencies.
