I was curious as to what it is like once you get in. I'm assuming there are different lines for different superstars. Are there two different lines or ten? About how many different people did you get to meet? I also heard that pictures with them cost extra. How much extra is are they?
Any help is appreciated.

Alright, I went to Lockdown Fanfest last year in Lowell, MA. There was a heavy line waiting for things to get set-up before people started to let into the convention hall. My friends and I waited awhile but it was well worth the experience.
Once they started letting people in, things moved quickly. There was a table in the back that sold TNA merchandise along with autograph tickets (for their own TNA promos for $5 and photograph tickets for $10). If you brought your own 8x10's the wrestlers signed those at no charge. Don't know how much TNA changed their policies on this since these prices were from last year.
My recommendation is to get in line immediately for the more recognizable TNA stars like Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Steiner, etc. The lines for those wrestlers were huge and you only have maybe an hour an a half to get as many signatures/photos as you can before the next set of wrestlers take over. Keep in mind there is only one line for each wrestler.
I was lucky enough to go with 3 other people. There was no way I could get everybodys auto with the time restraints because they'd have maybe 15 different wrestlers/personalities for each block (and the lines were huge because there was a large attendance that purchased fanfest tix). Because they limited the autos to 4 per wrestler, we'd give each other auto tickets while we wait in each respective wrestlers line. It maximized the number of autos that we'd get while meeting the wrestlers that we wanted to meet all along.
If you are going it's well worth the price of admission. It's a great experience and we all had a great time and the wrestlers were extremely nice with all of the fans in attendance. If you have any other questions, just let me know.

I know at BFG last year Tristar had a table set up with cards and everything. |

I know at BFG last year Tristar had a table set up with cards and everything. I agree. They didn't have any booths. They had a table in the back that sold t-shirts, posters, (meltdown & 3rd degree burns) cd's, dvd's, mcmg dog tags, etc. They sold tickets for autos & pics at the same table on the right hand side. The wrestlers came out in 90 min intervals and you'll spend most of your time waiting in line for autos or pics. On the way out they had the Lockdown stage set-up where you could take pics with Jeremy Borash. Dixie Carter & Terry Taylor were walking the floor. Dixie was especially nice & very classy. She singled out out fans thanking them for attending and if they were having a good time. She was nice enough to take pictures with anybody that asked with fans that were waiting around for autos. Now what they do this year, maybe they'll change things up. The only thing is that if you are the fence on going...I say go. I had more fun at Fan Fest than I did at the PPV. I had decent seats but had a hard time making out what was going on in the ring with the 6 sides of steel with every single match. It became a distraction. |
