Cameras and personal photos will be allowed (note: personal photos depends on the guest) . Event will run 8 PM - 9:30 PM Saturday evening. Tickets to the banquet are still available and are only $65. Please Note: you must order a ticket to the convention in order to be able to purchase a ticket to the Banquet.

Vulkon would like to invite everyone who bought a banquet ticket to participate in our raffle. The raffle will be for a chance for you and a friend (both the winner and guest must already have banquet tickets) to sit at Anthony Stewart Head’s table or Nicholas Brendon’s table (or one of our other stars table) during the banquet. Only those folks currently holding banquet tickets may purchase a raffle ticket. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit The Motion Picture Home and Hospital.

Each Raffle Ticket will cost $10, and ticket will entitle the winner and one guest to sit at a star’s table. One of our stars will pull the winning tickets live on-stage during his question and answer session on Saturday afternoon. The first ticket drawn will allow the winner and guest to sit at Anthony Stewart Head’s table, the next ticket drawn will get to sit at Nicholas Brendon’s table, the next ticket drawn will get to sit at Mercedes table, and the next ticket drawn will get to sit at Robia’s table and the next will get to sit at Hertzberg’s table and so on.

Vulkon Auction:
During our Saturday Auction, for those people that may not have purchased a banquet ticket or for someone who did buy a banquet ticket but just wants to ensure that they get to sit with either Anthony Stewart Head or Nicholas Brendon, Vulkon will be auctioning ONE pair of tickets to sit at Anthony Stewart Head’s table, and One pair of tickets to sit at Nicholas Brendon’s table. Winning bid will entitle winner and one guest to sit at Anthony Stewart Head’s or Nicholas Brendon’s table during the Saturday Night Banquet. (Anyone may bid on these items as this ticket will include banquet tickets). Numerous other items will also be auctioned off: including signed photos by other actors from both Buffy and Angel and numerous other goodies.

On Saturday night after the banquet, join us at the Bronze Dance Party. The Bronze Dance is "Free" to all our patrons, but you must present your Vulkon Convention badge for entry. Event will run 10 PM - 2 AM.

Plus: For those of you not attending the Cocktail Party or Banquet, don’t worry - we will have several other activities going on simultaneously to keep you busy!

Dress Code?
There isn’t one, but Vulkon recommends you "Dress to impress"! (You do want to catch a Demon or Vampires eye - don’t you?) So, dig out that pretty Cocktail Dress and come in : Dressy, or Goth, or Costume attire to the Cocktail Party, Banquet, Dance and Karaoke Contest.

Convention Etiquette (This should be common courtesy and sense but):
Please don’t spoil the event for yourself or others - Please remember to maintain a respectful distance when approaching our guest stars, as nobody likes to be mobbed or mauled, and any such action will result in revocation of your membership without refund. In other words: Please play nice, so all our guests feel comfortable and welcome, which will keep them around longer - okay?

Photography & Autographs
Video and Still Photography will be permitted of most of our guests.
