In an effort to boost ticket sales for its Thursday, October 4th show, the New York Comic Con has added Mark Ruffalo as a guest. He will be signing autographs for fans and you will even be able to take a picture with him.<\/p>\n
But if you decide to go, maybe check your bank balances. Because in addition to the $50 for a pass to the show that day, if you want Ruffalo’s autograph, it will set you back $180<\/a>. You want that photo op too? Add on another $190<\/a>. This makes him the most expensive celebrity there, almost doubling the basic options for Doctors Who Matt Smith and David Tennant and The Walking Dead <\/strong>and Black Panther <\/strong>actress Danai Gurira.<\/p>\n Five years ago, I wrote two<\/a> articles<\/a> about other celebrity bookings by NYCC to sell tickets–Sylvester Stallone and Sigourney Weaver. Ruffalo’s prices are much less than Stallone’s and slightly below Weaver’s, but I repeat here what I said then. Those prices are for a photograph and an autograph. They aren’t even set by NYCC. His agents and handlers set that price. But while they try to sell it as a personal experience, you’ll be rushed through the assembly line at the photo op and might have better luck in the autograph line if Ruffalo happens to be a talker. You might be able to have a truncated conversation before you are shooed away. Don’t go into this thinking you’ll have a life changing experience, because you probably won’t.<\/p>\n If the response to the announcement on the NYCC’s Facebook<\/a> is any indication, fans might be getting a bit tired of the whole dog and pony show that is the Celebrity Snap and Sign. Or maybe it’s that rabid The Kids Are Alright <\/strong>fans aren’t really happy with Ruffalo’s prices.<\/p>\n However, if you attended the 2015 NYCC, you might have rubbed elbows with Ruffalo for free:
