Frequently Asked Questions

We have been talking to many actors and actresses and other guests. Those that we have stated as confirmed have signed contracts with us, saying they will be at this coming SF Ball. However, our guests attendance is subject to working commitments. No refunds are given if a guest is unable to attend, however if possible we will replace the guest with a suitable alternative.

Come for the EVENT, not just the guests.

There is a charity auction, held on Sunday, where you can submit your own items. If you have items for the auction you must notify us in advance for them to be included. Submitted items must be handed to the crew at the information office by Saturday afternoon at the latest.

SF Ball Ltd may restrict the number of items that will be auctioned. Submitting an item for the auction does not mean that item has been accepted as we usually have far more items than we are able to include.

Auction Lists should contain the following information:

• Name of person submitting list
• Percentage of auction price to be given to SF Ball Ltd"s charity, minimum 15%, our charity will gladly accept more!
• Full description of each item
• Reserve price (if any) for each item

Filming during the guest talks, cocktail party, Saturday banquet and Saturday cabaret is strictly forbidden. This includes the use of mobile phones with camera capability.

The taking of photographs is permitted throughout the hotel, except at the cocktail party and the autograph sessions. We ask that in the interests of our guests comfort, those using a flash camera do so at the beginning of each talk.

We reserve the right to ask anyone who does not abide by these rules to leave the convention.

Children under five are admitted free with their parent(s) or guardian(s). A meal is not provided unless prior arrangement is made.

Children under 14 are admitted at the child rate. If a dining ticket they are entitled to a child meal only, if they would like an adult meal a further charge may be payable.

We will be delighted to make announcements for special occasions such as birthdays, engagements etc. However, we must be notified in advance otherwise we will not be able to assist you.

Just contact infosfball.com before the event and let them know.
