Get comp all-day passes to the Friday, Saturday or Sunday, August 16, 17 and 18 10th annual Stargate Universe convention.  The Stargate franchise has spawned one feature film, numerous TV spinoffs and thousands of dedicated fans. Those legions will descend upon Chicago for the 10th annual Stargate Convention, which is filled with the stars of SG-1, Atlantis and SGU discussing their work in an action-packed series of panel discussions, meet and greet sessions and other exciting events. It promises to be a three-day, non-stop, sci-fi geek-out in the best of ways, as like-minded fans join up with talent from in front of and behind the camera to celebrate this enduring franchise. Don’t miss your chance to explore the mysteries and wonder of the Stargate world at the only official event of its kind.

While the tickets are free, there is a service charge of $6 for Friday passes and $8 for each of Saturday and Sunday passes.  But hey, these are $30 tickets, so not a bad trade-off!
