Erica Durance (Lois Lane in Smallville) will be at the MegaCon in Orlando, FL March 6th, and 7th.She will be charging $25 to sign. The cost in advance for one day is $22.37 for one day. There will be Friday as well for the convention but she will not be there. For all three days the cost is $52.19 in advance. At the door is $24.00 for one day, or $55.00 for all three. I just wanted to let you guys know. I have no affiliation with the convention though.

I am shocked that there is a $25 charge for an "autograph"--Am I right on how I read that? If so, I think it is soooo wrong to charge.

I thought so to, but you know I got to thinking though, why else would an actor take the time to go all over the place to sign autographs. Too bad the conventions don't pay them.

tim, the conventions DO pay them for their appearance. the reason they (the celebs) charge is because of idiots who come up to them with 50 million things to sign and then turn around and sell them on ebay. the thinking is: "if they're gonna make money off my name, i better be compensated." it's BS but that's the way she goes. it's the same reason pro athletes charge for their autograph. i think they should just be happy with the fact that people actually want their autograph but on the flip side, i can see their point too. personnally, i don't admire anybody enough to get their autograph. i mean really, celebs, big deal. although i did get Margot Kidders autograph and it cost me 15$. but i assure you, that was a '1 time only' thing.

I personally think she should have a one or two item limit and not charge per auto.

good idea. but at this point they probably make so much money charging that it won't change. you should have seen the wad of cash margot kidder was counting at the comic con i was at. and let's be honest, she's hardly an 'A-list' celeb. if SHE can make that much money, just think how much someone like, for example, jessica alba can make. she'd be charging at least 100$. i heard, and this is totally unconfirmed, that harrison ford charges 250$.

Don't celebs still give free autographs in everyday non-convention circumstances?
You know when I first found out celebs at these conventions charge I was perturbed, but you know you can't blame them. If I was a celeb, I want some money before I got on a plane to Lord only knows where to sign autographs. Now if they just happen to be in the neighborhood and you ask them for one, if they have time, I don't think they should charge you.

Author's don't charge!
And I do think, yes, make it a limit to one auto. to each and MAYBE (I am not sure about that)a standard fee of $5, no matter who you are. I hear the currant Pres. sends out things to kids autographed, when they write a letter to him. Now he may have a stamper, I don't know--or a secretary to do it--but stars are hot one day and cold the next. I would never pay for any autograph of anyone. That is the truth. No one. Well, wait a minute maybe Zod! LOL.

And, I also don't think she should be charging $25 because she is not even like a Jessica Alba.

Zod---OK, lets see--I'll get an autograph (I have to pay $5) and as Ursa,(you said I am) thenI already got 1/2 the throne--Thanks.
Lucky me! Now can you dance the tango?
Tim, I would take the Free autograph. I bet more than just I would. You're the administrator after all, and about to be famous for Timer-Rider!! That is way cool!(I can say "I knew him when, See--here is his autograph")

If you send a singer a piece of their sheet music, and ask for an autograph, that is free--- but you need to send an envelope( 9X12 and return postage and I suggest a backing board and a poly bag so it doesn't get crushed or wet.) I used to know of a guy who did this. He also published a small catalog with current addresses, some HOME addresses too. I had one, but I don't know where it is and I can't remember his name! Only one kept his sheet music and never send anything back! So it is at your own risk. It is worth a try. Music can be bought at most music stores or places that teach how to play.
