TICKETING FAQ

Q: Should I get my tickets in advance?

A: YES! We highly recommend purchasing your tickets for Monsterpalooza in advance. Purchasing a ticket in advance secures your ticket - as there is a possibility the event can sell out ahead of time or during the weekend.

Look for a yellow “WILL CALL” sign just below the main “Monsterpalooza” banner on the right. *Tickets are non-refundable. *Please make sure you are on the correct ticket line for check in.*Pre-purchasing a ticket secures your ticket, it does not provide line skipping priveledges. *Online pre-sale of tickets can close without notice.

*REMINDER: An event ticket is ONLY a ticket that gains you entry into the convention.

Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable to different days.

Check in may be longer IF the venue requires things like proof of vaccination/negative test at the time of the event.

*You should also arrive early (several hours early) if you have a pre-purchased "pro photo op", as you want to ensure you have enough time to get checked in and also make your photo op slot.

Q: Does online pre-sale end early?

A: Yes online pre-sale tickets do tend to end early. Pre-sale can end without notice. The longer you wait, the more likely you will miss our online sales. Once online sales have ended, tickets will only be sold at the door the weekend of the show at The Pasadena Convention Center Box office.

*Please continue reading for further ticket/box office questions. Online sales begin in November, and can end at any time (in the past, they have concluded several weeks early depending on demand).

*Day of tickets at the door are available in limited quantities and may result in a wait or not getting in.*The Pasadena Convention Center Staff and Fire Marshal determines the pace and quantity of the “day of” ticket line. To ensure the venue doesn’t become overcrowded, the line for tickets being purchased at the door the day of the show may vary in wait-time.*Tickets are non-refundable.*If you have not pre-purchased a ticket in advance, there is a chance you may have to wait to buy a ticket at the door.*Please plan your day accordingly. Lines may be outdoors. We suggest wearing clothes that keep you cool, wear sunscreen and to stay hydrated.

Q: I'm coming to Monsterpalooza from out of state/long distance, can I buy my ticket at the door if I didn’t buy a ticket in advance?

A: While tickets may be available at the door, and generally are, we promote tickets in advance for months for a reason... Please, get your tickets in advance if you are traveling a distance to attend. Waiting until the last minute to get your tickets at the door may result in a wait, or result in not getting in at all. Online ticket sales have a chance of ending early depending on demand and to ensure the event is not oversold.

Q: Can tickets sell out at the door?

A: Like most events or things, anything is possible. We don’t have a crystal ball... Tickets are available online for months. We post “get your tickets in advance” daily on social media for a reason.

*All guests are tentative

Please be aware, when signing guests have popular pro photo ops, that means they will be away from theirt ables for extended periods of time, potentially a while, as they complete their photo ops. This means less signing time daily.

*As always, autographs are LIMITED and NOT GUARANTEED with attendance. Realistically, a signing guest can only meet so many people in a day, lines can be long and capped if necessary (lines cannot extend forever), time is limited, etc.

Q: Will signing guests be wearing masks?

A: Signing guests will be wearing masks if they are required to do so by city/venue or state requirements. If there are no requirements, they will only be wearing masks if they personally want to. Please be respectful of their wishes.

Q: How much are autographs? How much are photos/selfies?

A: It is up to the signing guests and their management whether or not they want to take photos/selfies with fans. Depending on venue guidelines at the time of the event, signing guests may be masked when you meet them.

Q: Am I guaranteed to meet/get an autograph/photo with ____________ signing guest if I attend?

A: No. Simply buying a ticket to Monsterpalooza does not guarantee you will meet who you want - as everything is first come first serve and time is limited. Please arrive timely, as autograph lines may become long and demand can be unpredictable. Lines for autographs may be capped and cut if needed (lines cannot go on forever at any venue). Realistically, a signing guest can only sign so much in a day. A line may also be cut/capped if a signing guest is nearing the end of the day, and cannot meet more guests. If you are already on a signers line, their management may decide to cut the line while you are on it, thus making you not be able to get the autograph... this is their management's decision, not ours.

If your attendance goals are focused on autographs, we recommend attending for the whole weekend, as it provides more time.

Attending Monsterpalooza, or any group gathering indoors for that matter, may increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.
