This is my first time attending the Wizard World Comic Con. I can tell you, it's a wonderful and magical experience. I truly believe there's something here for everyone.
Some people may complain about costs and having to pay for photo ops and autographs, I feel like you have to know what you're signing up for. Comic conventions are businesses. Celebrities who are there are spending time there instead of filming, where they could be making tons of money.
Norman Reedus VIP Package was $375 This includes a 3 day convention ticket, a photo op ticket, an autograph ticket plus speedpass, a Norman lithograph, and early admission.
You can ask for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts or getting into long personal stories..haha..or may be not. The line was pretty long.
As a press photographer, I was allowed to take pictures in this area. Only a few celebs declined behind the scene shots, including with Christopher Lloyd from Back To The Future.
Celebrity panel was the other fun part for me. I had a great time with Carrie Fisher.
The Star Wars Princess Leia is feisty, funny and in charge. Put the two together and you have the perfect combination of spunk and humor !!!
The Fluff Awakens: Carrie Fisher's Service Dog Gary becomes a plus one celebrity on stage. While Gary and Fisher have been BFFs for furever (about three years), some Star Wars fans are just starting to learn about the actress’s personal Ewok. That’s because the pooch has become Fisher’s go-to +1 on all of her press tours.
The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest).
Gary and his famous mighty tongue :)
