The official website for Comic-Con has released a full schedule for 2009's autograph sessions.
The site reports:
Located upstairs in the Sails Pavilion, the Autograph Area is the place to go for a special memento from a variety of artists, authors and actors from every era of popular culture. Some are signing right after their spotlight panel, so check the program grid daily.
The Autograph Area is open from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Thursday through Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. No autograph sessions will be held before or after these times, but fans are welcome to come on up and get in line when the convention hall opens.
Due to high demand and the limited time available from notables appearing to sign autographs, the Autograph Area Coordinator may at any time shut down a line, even if people are still waiting for an autograph. We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment.
Changes and surprise additions will occur throughout the show, so be sure to check the daily newsletter and the information boards located throughout the center. Schedules will be posted at the Autograph Area Information Desk, staffed 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM Thursday through Saturday, and 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM Sunday.
Most people attending Comic-Con International are fans who want to meet professionals and take away a souvenir of that meeting. If you would like to sign autographs at the convention we require that you sign one Souvenir Program Book, free of charge, for each fan who asks during your signing. However, if you buy exhibit space at Comic-Con you may charge for your autograph (beyond the one required Souvenir Program Book autograph) while you are at your booth or table. If you are awarded free space in the upper level Sails Pavilion, you may not sell your autograph but you may sell autographed items, and we require that you sign one Souvenir Program Book free of charge for any fan who asks during your signing. Please read the information below for other important information regarding selling autographs and autographed items.
General Guidelines:
Anyone signing at Comic-Con, in the Sails area or on the Exhibit Hall floor, even those exhibitors who will be charging a fee, must sign one copy of the Souvenir Program Book for any fan at no charge. You may sign one other item instead of the program book, if the fan would prefer and you agree.
Autograph Area:
If you receive free space from Comic-Con, in the Autograph Area in the Sails Pavilion, you are not allowed to charge for your autograph. You may charge for any item that you supply and will be signing for free. You must sign one Souvenir Program Book per person (or other item of your choice) at no charge if requested, and you may not require a purchase to sign the Souvenir Program Book. You are not expected to sign anything you deem offensive or that violates any contractual agreements you may have.
