That is at the discretion of the celebrity, and most will charge additional for that photo. Like autograph prices, we will post photo prices in advance when/if we get them. That said, there are certain celebrities who will only offer professional photo ops.
MHC partners with a professional photography company who will take professional photos with professional equipment in a room that is properly lit and has a backdrop. Attendees who purchase these photo ops will receive an 8×10 glossy copy of the photo at the show and can purchase the option for a digital copy or duplicates if you have more than one friend in the photo with you. Learn more and buy a pro photo op here. You will need to click on the photo op ticket sales once there.
Please see the HOME page and on FB, prices are in the purchase ticket section.
All guest appearances are subject to change or cancellation. Guests may cancel or alter their schedules due to illness, injury, professional commitments, travel issues, or other circumstances beyond the Convention’s control.
In the event of a cancellation, the Columbus Horror Con and its promoters cannot be held responsible. We will automatically refund any specific photo-op tickets purchased for the canceled guest. However, general admission, weekend passes, and other event tickets are non-refundable for individual guest changes, as the convention will still feature many other guests, vendors, panels, and programming.
If the convention is canceled and not rescheduled, all ticket purchases and vendor table fees will be refunded within 30 days. If the convention is rescheduled, all tickets and vendor spaces will automatically transfer to the new event date.
I’m sorry, but tickets are non-refundable unless you purchased Ticket Protection LINK
