Yes! Once you are in the event, it’s always FREE to meet any of the celebrities appearing at the show. Most will give 1 free autograph if you bring something for them to sign. However, some celebrities charge for every autograph. If a celebrity charges for all autographs, we will make a note letting you know by their picture in the “Appearances” section of this page. We also offer, for purchase, an optional 8.5″x11″ color photo for them to sign & an optional photograph taken with the celebrity. All purchased items will be autographed for free in addition to the 1 free autograph.

Due to long lines and limited time constraints, paid admission does not guarantee an autograph. Please arrive early to allow yourself plenty of time to make it through the line. Sometimes celebrities are able to stay a little longer to finish out the line, or run through the line giving high fives on their way out, but this isn’t guaranteed.

We continually monitor the line & how quickly it is moving. If we see that the line is starting to exceed the celebrities appearance time, we will place a Staff Member with a large “End of Line” sign at the end of the line. You can still line up behind the sign, but no one behind the sign is guaranteed to make it onto the stage.

Paid admission is for the entire event & does not guarantee that you will be able to meet a celebrity. If you are unable to meet a celebrity, you are still able to enjoy the rest of the event which covers all 3 halls, 2 floors & 220,000 square feet of the BJCC. A refund will not be given if you are unable to meet a celebrity.

Due to long lines and limited time constraints, we ask each individual limit autographs on personal items (any item not purchased at the Celebrity Stage) to 1 per trip on stage. There is no limit on the number of items purchased at the Celebrity Stage (autograph pictures, photo ops, items sold by the celebrity, etc) that you can have autographed. If you want multiple personal items autographed you can get back in the line & go up on stage again for each additional item. This rule was made because a few bad apples in the past have brought boxes & wagons full of items to have autographed for free. They were obviously eBay Sellers & prevented real fans from making it on stage in time to meet the celebrity.

Due to long lines and limited time constraints, only people who have purchased an Official Souvenir Photograph will be able to pose for a picture with a celebrity. If you have purchased a picture, you can also have someone take a picture with your cell phone or camera.

The O’Reilly Auto Parts World of Wheels is a “fun for the whole family” event. Usually, not everyone in the entire family loves cars, so we want to offer something for everyone. Plus, it’s a great way to grow interest in the automotive world by introducing people who might not have attended otherwise. Every year we hear someone say that they originally only came to see a celebrity, but had such a good time they will come back next year to see the cars.

If you or someone in your party is unable to climb the steps onto the stage, you will still have a chance to meet the celebrity. Go to the Exit side of the stage (usually the left side) & let the person printing pictures know that you are unable to make it onto the stage. You can wait by the printer & the celebrity will come down from the stage to greet you & sign autographs. You may have to wait several minutes, but no longer than you would have to wait standing in line.
