Autograph Sessions: Upon entering the event, each attendee will receive a Fan Fest program containing three autograph tickets, with each of the three tickets listing the location and time of its autograph session. One of the tickets is for a double autograph session featuring a current player and an alumnus. Fans must obtain the autographs at the assigned times. Autograph sessions will be at varying times during the two-day event, with some attendees receiving one ticket for a Friday night session and two tickets for Saturday sessions, and others receiving three tickets for Saturday sessions.
Each autograph session will be open only to fans possessing the corresponding ticket. To further enhance the timeliness of the procedure, no posed pictures will be allowed. One item to be signed per ticketed person, per autograph session will be allowed. Players appearing are subject to change.
An autograph ticket "trading zone" will be available for attendees to trade autograph tickets with other attendees who have a different player lineup. Attendees are advised to note the times on each ticket in order to plan accordingly if making a trade. Selling autograph tickets is prohibited.
The procedure, developed from fan feedback, Fan Fest review and study of other, similar fan events, makes the process more organized and guarantees each attendee a total of four autographs as well as the opportunity to take in more attractions at Fan Fest. In addition to the scheduled autograph sessions, fans will have the opportunity to interact with Fan Fest participants on Saturday when some participants randomly will be appearing at different areas of the event.
