Hey, have you seen the new BuzzFeed post about Supernatural? It's called, "64 Hilariously Random Supernatural Convention Photo Ops." There are some great pictures on there! :)

I saw that! One I shared with some friends was in it. However I believe Chris (the amazing and lovely photographer) had them take the post down because they were posting other peoples’ ops without consent and he wasn’t going to allow that to happen (which I absolutely agree with).

Hi, my boyfriend and I are selling our Chicon tickets for this year. He got them for our anniversary gift but we just got an apartment and we need the money for rent. We have 2 preferred weekend passes. If someone is interested they can email me at hagen_autumn@yahoo. Can you please advertise this?

You should try and sell it at these x x facebook pages because there's usually more people that might want to buy it from you on there. If anyone on here wants to buy it from her please contact her at [email protected]

So it is getting closer to chicon and i was wondering do the actors walk around the convention and talk to fans or is it strictly panels and photo ops and autographs that you see them?

Last year Osric walked around the entire weekend and talked to everyone but thats because it was his first spn con. I don't know if he plans on doing that again this year but lets hope he does. Also sometimes Misha might be found in the lobby or the vendors area during the j2 panel. The other actors don't really walk around the hotel I mean if you're staying there you might run into one of the hosts at night but j2 and Misha stay at a different hotel and only come to chicago the day of their panels.

Hi! I'm selling my Supernatural seasons 1-7 box sets for $60 and I was wondering if you could help me advertise them? I desperately need to pay for college books, and it might be better to sell them to someone in Illinois due to shipping. Thank you so much!

sure no problem!

if anyone's interested in owning seasons 1-7 box sets please contact her

Hi, I am going this year with my mom and I was wondering if I bought an autograph ticket or a photo-op ticket and she didn't, would she still be able to stand in line with me to get mine? I'm 21 so it's not like I need an adult but it would be nice if she could stand with me in line.

i believe so im not entirely sure because for photo ops they check for your photo op ticket 3 times, so once its right before you get in line, and then second time its right before you enter the room, and then again before you go stand next to your person so if you talk to the first person checking for tickets and they let your mom go in then she should be able to wait with you in line. Both of you need an admission ticket though keep that in mind or you cant go anywhere even with a photo op or autograph ticket

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Can you help me find the fb page though? I cant find it

As of now I believe theres only 2 active groups and one is Keep Calm and Chicon and the the other is Chicago Salute to Supernatural. You should look in both and make a post about it on the groups page and youll probably find someone. Dont forget to actually join the groups first bc you cant see the content until you send the request and the admins accept you into the group, Good luck

Helllooooo! This year is my first year going to ChiCon and I missed the Jensen photo ops :( Can you put this out there so that if any of your followers have one they can't use they can contact me? I'm willing to pay extra!

Sure!

You should also check out the fb group 'Keep calm and Chicon' bc most people go there first to sell so you might have more luck looking on there

Was this page only for the 2013 con?

no its also for this year ill be updating everything this summer when i finally have time

[spnchicon]

I'm 14, 15 when the conference will take place. I did not realize it said kids need adult supervision, and my mom didn't want to go so I just bought tickets for me and my friend, whose also my age. Will we be able to get in, or do I have to find an adult to go with me?

im sorry i took so long to reply

im not sure if they check but you should probably find an adult to go with you just to be safe

Is the general admission sold out already? This is my first time ordering and it doesn't say sold out but it doesn't let me select a box either. I want to attend Saturday and Sunday.

The general admission tickets haven't gone on sale yet so no they are definitely not sold out

Hi there! I will be attending the convention this October. I was wondering if I have a gold package ticket and my husband has a general admission ticket, will he be able to sit with me or stand in line with me during panels or photo ops?

You won't be able to sit together unless you wanna give up your gold seat and just sit at the back with your husbandYou will be allowed to stand in the line up together though but once you're done you'll have to go back to your seats away from eachotherWith photo ops I'm not entirely sure bc last year they numbered us so people with ticket#1-100 got to stand together and then the rest were in a different line so if both you and your husband have ticket #s in the same group you may stand together. There's always a chance that they won't do it like last year in which case you can stand together no matter what ticket numbers you have

About how much is gen admission. I wanna save enough money to meet Misha and go, but idk what to save

It depends if you want single day or the weekend pass. The weekend pass is the most expensive while the Friday single day pass is the least. Since the tickets aren't for sale yet, it's hard to tell how much they'll be, I'd say around $50-80 for Saturday (the day Misha's going), and more for the 3-day pass.

IMPORTANT!

I won't be attending ChiCon this year and because of that I need to hand this blog over to someone who's attending the con and is able to update this blog on a fairly regular basis (with event updates, adding people to the attendees list, etc.).

If you're interested, please let me know via ask. If no one offers to take this blog over, it will become inactive.

Currently have some interested...check back in a bit

I have just one more question! I'm trying to pay for my ticket, but it's asking for billing information and shipping information. I'm only 16. My parents are dropping me off at the convention, then leaving. When I get to registration, I don't want them to see my mother's name and not let me in. Whose name do I use for the billing and shipping information? PLEASE HELP!

You can put your parents information on their for the billing or whoever's card your using to pay for the ticket. The name on the ticket doesn't matter. They won't check your ID or anything when you check in. You just need to show your ticket and they'll scan it and give you your wristband for the day. :)

Hello! My family and I are planning on going to the convention in Chicago this year. This will be my first convention ever! I just have a couple of questions. I am planning on going just Sunday, so I will be purchasing the preferred admission single day tickets for Sunday. I'm a bit lost, so your help would help immensely! To start things off, when will the actual convention start on Sunday? Also, when will Jared and Jensen be talking in the room, where fans ask questions? Please get back to me!

HI! Stuff for Sunday starts early for Gold at 8 or 8:30 with the Gold-only panel. For non-Gold, things usually start around 10 or 11 with photo ops with Jared and Jensen. The guys' panel is after...and they will be talking in the main ballroom where the other panels take place.

The full schedule will be released a few days before the con. :)

When does the con usually start on friday? ANd when do you think it will end on sunday? how long are j2 usually on? I have a photo op with them and I need to know when it will be on sunday so i can schedule my flight around it...

The activities usually start on Friday around 11AM or after. It all depends on who's scheduled to be on that day. Sunday usually 'ends' around 5 or 6, but this past year Nicki Aycox had her panel at 7:15 and not many stuck around for that. J2 have an hour-long panel Sunday afternoon - around 2 or 3, depending on the schedule. Photo ops with them are before that, around 10:30. Autographs happen after the panel and likely take a few hours. You can view last year's schedule here for a better idea/estimate.

Hello, I don't know if anyone has them, but I am looking for general admission tickets, preferably on Saturday? If anyone has them could you please contact me :)

Right now, only gold tickets are available. Other options including general admission should go on sale closer to the con in a few months.
