Can I be part of the staff for the convention? Can I help with the organization?
About staff we already have one we are used to work with. On the contrary of what happens to other events we go with a policy of hiring only professionals because we prefer for fans to enjoy the convention and not to spend their time working.
About the organization you can help in various ways:
- you can advertise the convention on the net through your contacts and friends,
- you can send over to us banners, headers, icons, animations, wallpapers, videos and so on to enrich Jus In Bello website.
- if anyone needs information and you don’t know the correct answer you can point them toward convention official website or write to us so we will be able to spread correct news.
If you think you can offer help in other ways you can write to us with your suggestions.
Can I stop actors passing by in the hotel hallways to ask for Autographs or to take pictures?
No, you absolutely can't! If you are found to be bothering actors in the hotel you will be immediately expelled by our security and you will not be granted access on other convention days too. You need to remember actors need their spaces, their privacy and your respect!
Can I bring a gift for an actor? Will I be allowed to present it directly?
Yes, you can. Gifts will be allowed at autograph sessions and you will be able to hand them personally, but each token must be unwrapped to allow a security check. No unchecked gift will be authorized.
Can I take videos of the event?
No, you absolutely can’t! If you are found to be recording any part of the event, with cameras or cellphones alike, you will be immediately expelled by our security and you will not be granted access on other convention days too.
Can I use my cellphone at the event?
You can use your cellphone outside stage room. Inside stage room you should switch your mobile phone to silent mode only, and you won’t be allowed to make phone calls during panels.
What is JIB Con Kids Policy?
Some of you have enquired about bringing their children over at the convention, we all love children but JIB CON is mainly an event for adults.
So yes, if you have children you can bring them over, but they will need a regular pass as any grown up and you will be required to pay attention they don’t create disturbances for other participants at any moment. We can’t give discounted passes to children because we have a limited amount of people permitted into convention premises, a limited amount of passes, photo ops and autographs, and as small as a child is, for security rules and counting numbers one person is one person no matter how old or young they are. Infants till 11 months of age can enter the convention premises with their parent, but can’t access stage hall without explicit staff approval, they can’t have photo ops unless it’s previously agrees with staff. And generally if you are bringing children under 10 12 with you you need to contact us and let us know prior the convention so we can arrange things accordingly.
About invitation Passes
Do Passes give me access to the whole 3 days of the convention?
Yes, all packages (Prophet, Angel, Demon, Sinner and Hunter) give access to convention premises for the whole 3 days of the event, from starting hour to evening activities.
There will be different activities during each convention day.
Is there a deadline to request passes?
You will be able to request all kind of passes till they are available.
But you shall remember Jus In Bello Convention is a private event, opened only to participants who have given a supporting contribution prior to the event to be granted a pass and thus receiving a personal invitation to gain entrance.
No pass can be acquired or will be sold at convention premises and invitation is nominal only.
How much time do I have to send contribution after booking a pass?
All contributions to gain passes must be sent within 3 working days from the booking (for example if you receive method data on Friday you'll need to send money before Wednesday. If you book on Tuesday you have to pay before Friday and so on...)
Will Angel Pass, Demon Pass or Sinner Pass grant me a reserved seat in the stage room?
Yes, all patrons of an Angel Pass, Demon Pass and Sinner Pass will have a numbered reserved seat in the stage room and the seat will be the same one assigned from Friday to Sunday.
Prophet pass will grant a reserved seat too of course.
Can Hunter Pass patrons enter the stage room?
No, Hunter Pass patrons will not be able to access the stage room where panels will be held, but they will be able to see what’s going on through external screens.
They will be able to participate directly to other programmed activities (Autograph sessions, Photo Ops, competitions and contests, artistic exhibitions, buying of exclusive gadgets etc...)
Can I ask for an upgrade from one pass to another?
Yes, if Hunter Pass, Sinner Pass and Demon Pass patrons wish to change their entrance package with a better one they can do so simply by asking and sending the difference. This option will be available till the better passes are available.
Can I hand my pass to someone else?
Yes, you can but YOU MUST FOLLOW FIXED RULES. You can read all the details about this matter here
~ RULES FOR HANDING YOUR PASS OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE ~
How and when will I be able to book a Prophet Pass?
Prophet Passes for 2012 edition will be available within a few months. More details coming in due time.
About Convention Guests
When will you announce other guests - all the guests?
Guests will be announced in the next months. Booking a guest for a convention takes a long time and needs detailed negotiations. We only announce guests when we have them under contract.
Hence announced guests have officially confirmed their presence and attendance to the event and are contracted to come.
Will you announce all the guests within September/October?
No, it’s not likely we will do so. Some negotiations take longer than others, we could decide to book some additional guests in the future, or based on contracts requests we could need to wait a prescribed date before the announcement. It’s a rather common occurrence that some guests are confirmed simply a few months before the convention.
Shall I need to wait for all the guest be announced before booking Photo Ops or extra Autographs?
No, we will release Photo Ops and extra Autographs on this website soon after a guest is announced. Group Photo Ops will take a bit longer, but they'll become available as soon as possible.
Considering the complete guest list could take almost all time span before the convention starting date, waiting till every guest is confirmed could result in Photo Ops and Autographs to be already sold out.
About Photo Ops and Extra Autographs
What's a Photo Op?
Literally Photo Op means Photograph Opportunity or the Opportunity to take a picture with someone.
In the case of conventions it’s the possibility to have a photo shoot together with one of the actors of Supernatural TV series.
Patrons with a Photo Op pass can meet the chosen actor personally and have a picture taken with him or her. Photos will then become available printed or on a digital support before the end of the event.
Photo Ops will take place in various sessions during the 3 days of the convention.
Are you going to schedule Photo Ops with more than one actor?
Yes, we will. We are going to schedule group Photo Ops in the next months.
Can I have a group photo op with some actors of my choice?
No, you can’t. Our staff will decide some different standard combinations of guests for group photo ops.
Do all Photo Ops/Extra Autographs require the same contribution?
No, Photo Ops and extra Autographs will require different contributions. Contribution will be based on the chosen actor or number of actors.
Can I book more than 1 Photo Op/extra Autograph with the same actor?
Yes you can, at this moment whomever has booked a pass can request more than 1 Photo Op or extra Autograph with the same actor.
Can I pass my Photo Op/extra Autograph onto someone else?
You can do so only if you can't take part in the convention anymore. For all details you can refer to general rules for handing over your pass.
Can I do my Photo Op with a friend?
Yes, you can. It is possible to share a shoot with 1 other person beside the actor (2 being the maximum number of fans permitted).
Anyway you need to be aware each person must have 1 photo op for each shoot. So if you want a picture with your friend you and your friend shall have 2 photo ops.
Is there a deadline to book Photo Ops/extra Autographs? Will I be able to get them directly at the convention?
You will be able to request Photo Ops and extra Autographs till they are sold out. But you shall be aware that no Photo Op or extra Autograph will be available at the convention.
Photo Ops for main stars usually are sold out for months before the event and we will not overbook just to let anyone have more Photo Ops or Autographs as it happens to other convention.
We want everyone attending to be able to take their time with guests and to enjoy the event without rushing from one activity to the next. We don’t want to have endless lines, delays on regular basis or scheduled events’ cancellation, so we will not overbook the convention. Pass are limited and so will be Photo Ops and extra Autographs.
How much time do I have to send my contribution after requesting a Photo Op/extra Autograph?
All contributions to gain Photo Op and extra Autograph must be sent within 3 working days from the booking (for example if you receive booking confirmation on Friday you’ll need to send money before Wednesday. If you book on Tuesday you have to complete your booking before Friday and so on...)
How shall I dress for my Photo Op?
Pictures with actors are a wonderful memento to keep through passing time, so you’ll wish to appear at your best but also be comfortable with what you’re wearing. Photo Ops will be done in a relaxing environment so there’s no need to overdress or being highly formal.
Can I take private pictures during Autograph sessions?
No, you absolutely can’t! If you are found to be taking pictures, with cameras or cellphones alike you will be immediately expelled by our security and you will not be granted access on other convention days too.
