Here is the GA Lineup: 3/29 6pm: Daniel Bryan, Kane, Christian, Khali, Santino, Mark Henry, Truth, Beth Phoenix, Hornswoggle, Swagger, Wade Barrett So using this day as an example, will all these guys be signing or no guarnteee? I wouldn't see how you could plan when you want to go if they are not all signing that day. Also if they are all signing what is a reasonable expectation, certainly you will not get all of them but let's say Kane and Henry, with a VIP for Edge. Is that doable in this span?

I'm hoping Ziggler signs at some point on Saturday. I have the 1-5 session already but I want to meet Piper so I would do GA for the early morning session if I knew Ziggler was signing at some point on Saturday, which I am assuming has to be the case. Cody is really the only other guy outside of Ziggler that I really want to meet, and he wasn't announced at all.
If they don't update the lineups as we get closer I am just going to buy a ticket for the Friday night session just to meet Ziggler.

I really wanted to meet Daniel Bryan, I really hope he shows up to one of the first 2 sessions on Saturday.

The list is subject to change. Don't be surprised to see last minute changes and switches.
I got tons of autos last yr. Great fun for anyone going.

Just realized a lot of wrestlers are not on the list even thought they were on it last yr. Ppl like Slater, Usos, Justin GAbriel, Yoshi, etc. Strange, they might not be advertised but perhaps they'll be there.

Also if they are all signing what is a reasonable expectation, certainly you will not get all of them but let's say Kane and Henry, with a VIP for Edge. Is that doable in this span? I would say that it is probably doable. It depends on if they are in the first half or the second half of the session. Last year I had a VIP ticket for Triple H in the first Saturday session and I was able to get to 4 tables (Kane included) and the Undertakers Graveyard with Paul Bearer in the first half of the session but in the second half I only got Jim Ross and Cody Rhodes before going to Triple H because they took a little longer. So I think you can get a lot of people done that day. Also, a little tip, if you plan on going to the Undertaker's Graveyard wait until you have a day with a VIP ticket. I was able to pass the long line of GA's waiting and walk right in on a Saturday morning session and meet Paul Bearer inside. This way you can use the perk of the ticket! rude1awakening I went to several sessions last year. If you have any questions just PM me and I can give advice and tips on whatever you need!

If anyone who has been to an Axxess wants to share there experiences with things they liked, didn't like, advice, etc. Be as descriptive as you want. How much merchandise is there? Should I eat before I go or can I eat there? I would be very interested. So Cody Rhodes Fan feel free to share your knowledge. CM I know your good with these things too.

I went to two sessions for Wrestlemania 26 and honestly had a blast. I met around 12 wrestlers during the two sessions an got pictures with nearly everyone. The merchandise stand is great. It has all the latest shirts and obviously every Wrestlemania merchandise that's being released. The prices are pretty much the same as WWESHOP.com although the main shirts might be around $5 more depending on who it is. The food an drink is pretty basic. Chocolate, burgers, pizza, chips etc but it isn't badly priced and is handy in-between the meet an greets. I know some people who didn't enjoy axxsess an find that's it's too busy an stressful but I couldn't recommend it enough. The only thing is if you do more than 2-3 sessions it can kinda get boring as all the exhibitions are the same an you have no guarantee on who you meet. Hope this has helped you.

You have to consider what is most important to you. Do you want to experience Axxess, gets autos, shop for merch...what? Also consider how many sessions you will actually do. My plan is to do my VIP sessions of Edge and Rey(so far). During these sessions, I will spend my time doing the autograph lines for the other wrestlers there. Friday night, the weakest night for talent and a be name for VIP in HHH.....I will buy an GA ticket to EXCLUSIVELY participate in the Axxess events and get pictures. Go see this Rock exhibit, get Money In The Bank picture, superstar entrance, audition for Marine movie, etc, etc. I will spend ZERO time getting autos and all my time doing the events and getting my merch. that I want to get for Mania. That way I dont feel like I am gonna be rushed to do this or that. 2 VIP sessions, 1 GA for just the events and 2 GA sessions for autos.

Spend my 2 original days getting autographs & then pick up another GA ticket for Sunday morning & see everything else. Ziggler is the only guy I'd want to meet so I figured it would give me enough time to see everything else. I'm hoping there will be a WM28 poster for sale. I'm very surprised WWE shop hasn't released one yet. I was planning on purchasing one & just getting autographs on that. I'm not big on getting programs signed. I'd rather buy a poster frame this way I can see everything. The chances have to be slim they wouldn't release one right? Also, I'm assuming there are specific times set up for each signee. They aren't out there the entire 4 hours are they?

Total crap shoot. As far as the WM poster....wweshop had the official one on sale at one point. I didnt buy it cuz I dont like the design. Not sure if its still there or not. But about 2 months ago it was.

Should I eat before I go or can I eat there? I would be very interested. So Cody Rhodes Fan feel free to share your knowledge. CM I know your good with these things too. I went to Wrestlemania last year. As far as advice goes it all depends on what you are looking to do. I ended up going to 5 of 7 sessions. Thursday, Friday, Saturday morning, and both Sundays. Thursday is a definate quieter day to go. The talent wasn't the best talent but it was cool to meet the people that I did. I was able to get to 4 tables and all 4 diva photo booths that session as well as explore the place and see different things without long lines. Friday was a little crazier but still easy to get autographs and explore some more. I got through 4 tables and 2 diva booths. Saturday and Sunday it can get pretty packed. I found that Saturday morning was when I got the best talent of the bunch. I was able to meet Alberto Del Rio, Kane, and Cody Rhodes to name a few. There were a lot more but it depended on who you were looking for. The lines also were longer for specific people than others. I skipped other people for Cody because that's who I wanted but his line took a good hour. So sometimes you may have to pick and choose who you want to meet more. Some recommendations. When you first enter Axxess, jump right on an autograph line and wait to see who is there. The names won't be listed so its the luck of the draw but if you jump right on you can meet whoever it is quickly from the front of the line and give you time to meet other people or do other things. If you are going with a friend and you are in the middle of the line, have one of you go check out the rest of the tables to scope the area to plan your next stop so you can just beeline for whoever it may be. Trust me. This will save you time in the long run. The names usually switch out after 2 hours but sometimes people run longer and sign for maybe 10 to 15 minutes later for some fans that still wait for them. I was luckily able to meet Sin Cara when in theory he should have switched out 10 minutes earlier. I am not sure if the VIP will work the same this year but last year they had specific times for the VIP signings and basically as long as you were on that line before the line ended or the session ended you were good. When I did VIP for Michaels last year the VIP schedule was from 10:30 to 12:00. I did whatever I could during the session and got on his line around 11:45. So in theory you could do other things but double check with the security guard working the line first to be sure. Also, if you have a VIP pass I would see the Undertaker's Graveyard during it. On Saturday with my VIP I saw that Paul Bearer was posing for photos so I was able to skip the entire GA line and enter the graveyard right away. I mostly focused on autographs but your fun will depend on what you want to do. Also by the way with VIP you can get up close to the ring during matches and in ring events. I never utilized it but it is a good perk. You can sometimes get signatures or pictures from stars there too. The only one I got was Scott Stanford after it was over. LoL. That is just some advice and stories. Any questions PM me or just ask away here. I hope this helps some people.

Hey sorry to bump this topic, but I'm going to WM 29 and contemplating doing the Thursday Axxess. Are autographs included with price of admission or is there a separate charge?
