YOUR GUIDE: Creation Entertainment’s ‘Supernatural’ convention comes to Toronto
Fans of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, get ready to party. The still successful Salute to Supernatural convention from Creation Entertainment rolls into the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Center Friday, Oct. 7 through Sunday, Oct. 9. Expect ample opportunities to score autographs, click some photos and hear Q&A sessions with stars from the hit CW show.
Friday’s festivities include: an appearance by Matt Cohen, who plays the young John Winchester; a yes/no trivia game; a panel event with Gabriel Tigerman and Elias Toufexis; a no-minimum-bid auction; an appearance by Amy Gumenick, who plays Young Mary; karaoke jam session; and an exclusive dinner cruise with Collins ($259).
Saturday will see appearances by Corin Nemec, Richard Speight Jr., Traci Dinwiddie, Damon Runyan and Collins. Additionally, there will be another trivia challenge and no-minimum-bid auction.
Sunday is the big day, featuring appearances by Padalecki, Ackles, Clif Kosterman, Speight and Julian Richings.
Most available ticketing options are now sold out. However, you may be able to snag preferred day passes at the event (ranging from $50-$80).
Autographs are pricey with the big stars: Ackles and Padalecki are $99 each; Collins commands $40; and everyone else is $20-$25. Photo ops are more expensive: $129 each for Ackles and Padalecki; $65 for Collins; and $40-$45 for everyone else. If you’re into photo ops, consider purchasing a duo ticket, which will cost less overall and create a better memory.
Toronto’s Supernatural bash is likely going to be a crowded affair. Plan to arrive early, but don’t worry too much about snagging a seat in the main auditorium. If you have an admission ticket, you are guaranteed entrance to the Q&A panels (that’s unique to Creation Entertainment events).
Bring extra cash for the vendors room, where you can purchase 8×10 glossies, memorabilia, T-shirts and other rare items. Remember: Celebrities at Creation events typically don’t have anything for the fans to sign. You need to bring something to their table. Come prepared, otherwise you may be out of luck.

wow, Creation sure is getting astronomical! That’s why I don’t do them anymore. However, I’d love to see Julian Richings again. I met him when he was doing War of the Worlds. Very lovely fellow.
