Of course! Please note that there will be restrictions on photos and recording during panels and other events, but you are free to take photos on the show floor, as long as you are courteous to those you are photographing. Most people coming in costume will be happy to be photographed and will even pose on request.

Most of the celebrities will have a cost associated to their autograph. These costs are indicated next to each celebrity bio on our website and our mobile app.

For the most part comic book creators do not charge for autographs. There are some big name guests that may charge a low fee for an autograph.

Each guest sets his/her own price for autographs and photo ops. We don’t currently have access to those prices, but we are trying to get them before the show so people can prepare accordingly. In that regard, you can get as many signatures as you are willing to pay for (possibly limited by how large the remaining line is behind you, of course).

Autographs can be purchased at the Laval Comiccon, at the actual booth where the autographs are being done (in the Exhibit Hall). The celebrity will usually have a guest liaison that will take care of the monetary transaction.

On-site autographs can only be purchased with cash.

You can bring your own items to autograph. However, it is up to the guest to accept or refuse to sign a given item. Guests will refuse to sign any bootlegged material or items unrelated to their career.

All Q&A’s, workshops, and panel time slots are strictly for presentation only. Autographs are not permitted in the conference rooms area, but you can get an autograph at your guest’s table during their designated autograph times.

Costuming and Cosplay (costume and play) is the act of dressing up as a character from comics, anime, videogames, manga, movies, TV, or books. Costuming and Cosplay is not to be confused for a Halloween costumes. There is a remarkable amount of passion and attention to detail that is involved in the creation of a piece as well as dressing-up and displaying it.

Steampunk Zombie? Nothing is too obscure or mainstream. Surprise us. Or come as Batman. Be Batman.

The Masquerade is one of the highlights of the Laval Comiccon. It is a non-professional costume competition featuring costumes from comic books, movies, Japanese animation or video games.

Yes, we require all volunteers to be at least 18 years old.

Yes. Volunteers can work for as many or as little hours as they want. Before being scheduled, all volunteers will be asked how many hours they would like to volunteer for. Please remember though that all volunteers must be pass-carrying attendees, even if you are not planning on working enough hours for a reimbursement.

Potential jobs include, but are not limited to, setup, badge checking and crowd control.

No. During your free time, you are free to enjoy the convention as an attendee, including going to meet the guests. Due to agent requests and busy schedules, we cannot guarantee that you will meet all the guests. You will also be responsible for the autograph and photo fees.

Nope! We are always happy to have new volunteers. We will be hosting an orientation meeting for the volunteers and while it is not mandatory, attendance will be highly encouraged, especially for first time volunteers.

Definitely! While it is recommended that you don’t volunteer as many hours, so as to get that much more time to explore the convention, we are always happy to have new volunteers, even those who have never been to a convention before.

All volunteers will be given a Laval Comiccon volunteers t-shirt, and a food voucher for the day(s) that they are volunteering.

The goal of being Special Services-aware is to do what we can to ensure all our attendees can enjoy the con, regardless of their individual circumstances. We provide support for those with reduced mobility who are in our entry or events line-ups. Challenges that impact how our attendees enjoy Main Events and Small Panel presentations are mitigated by, for example, seating vision-challenged attendees with the best views of our stages or television monitors, seating hearing-challenged attendees close to speaker systems where possible; and so on. Read on for more details about more services that we offer!

We provide seating for attendees who cannot stand in a line-up. We ensure those with reduced mobility or with service animals enter the event or panel rooms before able-bodied attendees (of the same ticket class) to allow for any extra time, maneuvering and personal setup that may be needed.

We will find seating for attendees who cannot stand in a line-up but will still “maintain” their ordered place as if they were waiting in the line-up so as to not get ahead of anyone. In addition, we give our section Team Leads and their volunteers the flexibility to assess situations on a case-by-case basis; for example, if attendees who qualify under our Special Services criteria cannot wait for their ordered place in line to reach the autograph (or photo op) opportunity, we will give them priority status – just let us know.

Service animals are welcome, as long as the animals do not pose an unreasonable threat to other attendees.

We have a class of attendees who are “Personal Care Attendants” of those attendees who need someone on-hand at all times to provide significant, personal care. If you do not plan to participate in any autographs, photo ops, and other Comiccon activities yourself, and you are only planning to attend Comiccon to help an attendee who qualifies as requiring significant personal care under our Special Services criteria, you do not need a ticket. We do restrict the number of Personal Care Attendants to one person per ticketed attendee.

Written policies cannot always support every possible scenario; we thus give our section Team Leads and their volunteers the flexibility to assess situations on a case-by-case basis and to make helpful decisions on the spot.

During Registration, you can identify yourself as wishing to take advantage of our Special Services program. You will be directed nearby to the Special Services kiosk where a sticker will be appended to your Comiccon badge; this simply identifies you as being part of the program – as you meet staff and volunteers throughout the event, they will know you were briefed on the services offered and will proceed in helping you enjoy the con!

Just email your questions to services-adaptes@montrealcomiccon.com and we’ll answer you within a few days!
