    Um...is this out of the ordinary? Does the guy not do conventions usually?

    ^No he doesn't typically do conventions. This is only the second convention I've heard of him attending.

    This is a rare treat for those going. Same I can't go this year.

    Oh, neat. I 've seen so many Cullen pictures and such I just assumed Welker did them too. Now it makes sense.


    >_> Honestly, if I was going I wouldn't have him sign anything Transformers related. I'd have him sign one of my Futurama boxed sets.

    Texas Comicon charged $200 for a very similar package; I'd expect it to be a bit less, since it's only open to Primus package holders, but not too much less. It's important to remember that they have to recover the significant appearance fees somewhere, so it's not like they'd be doing it to rip anybody off. (And it's also important to remember that the agent is the one setting the appearance fee in these situations, not the actor.)

    He might not be able to sign everything that people want him to since he is no spring chicken anymore and he is getting up there in age. I imagine that it might be 1 or 2 per person.

    In terms of how much it would cost, it depends on what level ticket you purchase. If you get the Primus Package, it would roughly $400-500 or $700 (Golden Ticket). If you get the General admission ticket, then the cost of the guests signing items for people, it would be an added cost and that is up for Fun Pub. To get some idea on how much autographs might be, check last year's Botcon brochure because it might say in there.

    The “Frank Welker VIP experience” package will contain ONE autograph from Frank Welker (on an item of your choosing), ONE professional picture with Frank Welker, an EXCLUSIVE MEGATRON art print, an EXCLUSIVE MEGATRON souvenir pin and VIP seating at his moderated panel on Saturday

    ^Thank you Pete for the insight about what one can suspect if they would like to meet Frank Welker.
