Then, pick a convention closest to your home. ^{[2] X Research source}

   • If there are no upcoming conferences coming near you, sign up for the email list by visiting http://www.creationent.com/email.htm. That way, you’ll receive an email when a new conference is announced.

Once you click on a particular conference, you can browse the convention overview to decide on what meet and greet package you’d like. Click the link reading “Convention Program” to see the specific schedule of events. ^{[3] X Research source}
   • Each convention has a different schedule. Generally, Jensen Ackles is available to meet for 1 of the 2 days. There are many other actors you can meet, as well as programmed events throughout the weekend.
   • If you only want to meet Jensen Ackles, visit the conference only on the day he is attending.
4. {“smallUrl”:”https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f5\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”\/images\/thumb\/f\/f5\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-4.jpg\/aid10156202-v4-728px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=\”mw-parser-output\”><p>License: <a target=\”_blank\” rel=\”nofollow noreferrer noopener\” class=\”external text\” href=\”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\”>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>”} 4 Purchase a basic admission ticket to get access to the convention. In order to meet Jensen, you must buy a ticket to the conference, as well as a meet and greet package. The admission ticket grants you access to the convention, and it is required in order to purchase the meet and greet packages.
   • The Saturday pass is usually $100 (£75.8), and the Sunday pass is typically $135 (£102.4).
5. {“smallUrl”:”https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2a\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”\/images\/thumb\/2\/2a\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-5.jpg\/aid10156202-v4-728px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=\”mw-parser-output\”><p>License: <a target=\”_blank\” rel=\”nofollow noreferrer noopener\” class=\”external text\” href=\”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\”>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>”} 5 Purchase a photo op package to get your picture taken with Jensen. In addition to the admission ticket, you can purchase a photo op package to get your picture taken with Jensen Ackles. With this package, you’ll receive an 8 in × 10 in (20 cm × 25 cm) full color photograph. Note that the total time you’ll spend with Jensen is very short, as he will take pictures with many attendees. ^{[4] X Research source}
   • The photo op package is typically $169 (£128.1) for Jensen.
   • This is not included with the ticketing or meet and greet packages. The photo op is an additional charge.
   • If you’d like, you can order additional pictures when you get your picture taken.
   • 4 guests can be in the same photo with Jensen.
6. {“smallUrl”:”https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4c\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”\/images\/thumb\/4\/4c\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-6.jpg\/aid10156202-v4-728px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=\”mw-parser-output\”><p>License: <a target=\”_blank\” rel=\”nofollow noreferrer noopener\” class=\”external text\” href=\”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\”>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>”} 6 Choose the “Silver” package if you want Jensen’s autograph. The “Silver” package offers you the opportunity to get an autograph from Jensen in person, as well as many of the other actors. You’ll also receive access to the rock concert, karaoke night, and vendor area. ^{[5] X Research source}
   • The “Silver” package costs $589 (£446.6), and it sells out extremely quickly.
7. {“smallUrl”:”https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-7.jpg\/aid10156202-v4-728px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=\”mw-parser-output\”><p>License: <a target=\”_blank\” rel=\”nofollow noreferrer noopener\” class=\”external text\” href=\”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\”>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>”} 7 Select the “Gold” package to attend an intimate panel discussion. In addition to autographs, the “Gold” package offers guests priority lines, admission to the Saturday night concert, collectable credentials, karaoke night, and vendor access. The main perk of this package is the intimate panel with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, in addition to their regular convention appearances. Here they offer particular information about the set, and you get the chance to ask them questions. ^{[6] X Research source}
   • Choose between packages to meet Jensen Ackles along with actor Jared Padalecki and/or Misha Collins.
   • The regular “Gold” package costs $978 (£741.5). If you want to sit in the first row for the convention activities, purchase the “Gold First Row Seating” for $1,650 (£1,251).
   • These passes sell out very quickly.

   • The convention typically lasts from 10:00am – 7:00pm; however, sometimes the autograph sessions run late. Leave a bit of flexibility at the end of your day if selecting an autograph package.
   • The final schedule is posted the Wednesday prior to the event.

Show up for the photo op at least 5 minutes early to ensure you get a spot. Pose with Jensen, and don’t forget to say cheese! ^{[8] X Research source}
   • If there are still tickets available, you can purchase the photo op package at the convention.
3. {“smallUrl”:”https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7a\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”\/images\/thumb\/7\/7a\/Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-10.jpg\/aid10156202-v4-728px-Meet-Jensen-Ackles-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=\”mw-parser-output\”><p>License: <a target=\”_blank\” rel=\”nofollow noreferrer noopener\” class=\”external text\” href=\”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\”>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>”} 3 Bring an item from home if you are obtaining an autograph from Jensen. Jensen will sign any item you’d like. Bring things like a poster, picture, hat, or T-shirt. Then, be sure to have them with you when you go for your autograph session if you purchased the “Silver” or “Gold” package. ^{[9] X Research source}
   • In addition, there are photographs and collectibles on sale at the convention that you can get signed.

Typically, the intimate panel occurs on the Sunday of the conference. Be sure to look on the program for where and when the panel will take place. Show up 5-15 minutes early, as seating is first come, first served. The panel typically lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour. ^{[10] X Research source}
   • If you also purchased the photo op package, get your photo taken before you attend the panel.
