FREQUENT QUESTIONS
I won't be able to attend this years convention. Can
I still purchase tickets for the raffle?
Our raffle items are an incentive to attract individuals to
our conventions and are only available to paid convention attendees.
I'm a guest speaker at the convention, am I eligible
for the raffle drawings?
Only paid attendees are eligible for the raffle drawings. Guests
with complimentary admission are not eligible for the drawings.
I'm not a member of the Clive Cussler Collector's Society,
can I still buy tickets and attend?
Our Convention is open to the public, anyone can attend. The
CCCS reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone for any
reason.
I bought tickets to the convention, but they never
came in the mail. When can I expect them to arrive?
We do not send out paper tickets. When you pay for your convention
ticket, your name and contact information is added to the attendee
list. When you arrive at the convention, check in at our registration
booth and sign in. You'll receive an information packet with
event details and an ID Badge. You must wear your ID Badge to
attend the events.
What happens if I paid for my convention tickets in
advance and it turns out that I will not be able to attend,
will I get my money back?
You will be refunded 100% of your ticket cost, less any PayPal
fees or expenses we incurred in the transaction, up to 30 days
before the event. After the 30 day deadline, any cancellation
will be handled on a case by case basis and up to the discretion
of the CCCS event organizers.
I was wondering if the convention events could be separated
so I would only be paying for the events I wished to attend?
Sorry, our convention tickets are only sold as a package deal.
We do our best to put on an event that everyone will enjoy.
What type of presentations we can expect?
Right now we’re looking at speakers who may or may not
provide a slide show/Power Point presentation–that will
depend on them. We'll have a meeting room set up and the subject
matter and presentation will be at the discretion of the speaker.
However, in this setting Wayne will address the group to convey
information, introductions, acknowledge individuals and, hopefully,
have several types of drawings, in which Cussler and Cussler-related
collectibles will be given away.
If I bring several books to be signed by Clive Cussler,
would I have the opportunity to have them signed? Would there
be an extra fee?
We limit the number of books for Clive to sign based on time
available and Clive’s wishes. In fact, he may elect not
to sign any books at this event and we will abide by those wishes.
However, arrangements are in place for Dirk Cussler, Paul Kemprecos,
Jack Du Brul and other authors to be available to sign books
and memorabilia Saturday evening following the banquet. Regardless,
the signing will be the same for everyone and no additional
fee is required.
The CCCS reserves the right to refuse admission to
anyone for any reason.
