The Vampire Diaries Autograph Signing begins at 2:45pm-3:30pm July 26th. In order to get access to the signing you must arrive early Saturday Morning and wait in line to draw a ticket to win a chance to get a wristband into the signing. My advice to you is arrive super early like 2am and camp out because things get real hectic real fast, but most of all have tons of fun. Also be sure to think if you want the chance getting to meet The Vampire Diaries cast or attend the Panel and which one is more important, chances of you doing both are slim but worth a shot if you feel like gambling.
