If you would like to have more than two adults additional ticket purchases may be required. I.E. If you would like 3-4 adults, 2 total photo op tickets must be purchased and used for that photo. If you would like 5-6 adults, 3 total photo op tickets must be purchased and used for that photo.
Day Specific tickets and group designations.
Some tickets will have a day listed in the title, such as “Norman Reedus Saturday Photo Op”. This means this is usable during Norman’s scheduled photo op time on Saturday of the show. Some tickets will have a day listed in the title as well as a group designation, such as “Norman Reedus Saturday Photo Op - A Group”. This means this is usable during Norman’s scheduled Group A photo op time on Saturday of the show (these times will be displayed on the photo op schedule. Group designations are typically set up for guests who sell a very high number of photo ops. Please, if you have a group C photo op ticket, do not show up for the Group A time, it will only slow the process.
Photo Op Queue
Queue for photo ops are created approximately 30 minutes prior to the start time of the photo op. Boards near the line entrance will list the current photo op line assignments or time for upcoming line assignments. Unofficial or fan created lines will not be honored when official lines are created. If your line is not currently listed on the line assignment board or has not reached the start time for the line, please enjoy the rest of the show until the time has come for your line to start. Please do not stand around the photo op queue entrance awaiting your line to start as it can block fans who are trying to get the currently running photo ops from getting their op.
Often times the photo op queue area will fill up entirely, please stay within your assigned line space. If you leave the lines for any reason, we cannot guarantee your place back in line. Only ticketed attendees or those in the photo with them are allowed in the queue area. Parents of underage children may wait in line with them.
If you have special needs or are caring for a special needs fan, please speak with our line staff before entering the queue area.

VIPs
In the case of VIP sales, the VIP lines will be separate from general admission and will enter the photo op room first.
Glasses
Glasses often glare or make it very difficult for the photographer to see if you blinked, so please try to remove them if possible. If you cannot remove them please be sure to try and tilt the glasses down away from the lights.
Blinks
Or photographers watch for blinks however sometimes they are missed. If when you pick up your print and a blink is noticed, please let us know immediately to ensure the guest is still in the room and we will put you back in for a retake.
