    Tickets will probably be cheap, and maybe nothing, or they will be expensive for a fundraiser.

    Chances are very high you'll be able to bring a second book to get signed of your choice, unless the signing is restricted to UtD only.

    You'll definitley be able to get your picture taken with him, but the books might be pre-signed and you won't meet him at all.

    The event will be at a bookstore, unless it's at some theater like Symphony Space or the Jacob Burns.

    Well...I'm buying a ticket no matter what.

    And as for the pictures, of course! The idea is take a pic where I'm with Steve. Hope I can accomplish that!

    And finally, the signing will likely be held on a Saturday, or maybe one of the other days ending in "Y".

    Wait, did I miss the announcement of a specific date?

    As for the signing, I think it highly likely it will be limited to Under the Dome. After all, it is a signing event for the release of the book. The Three Kings event in DC was for something entirely different so other books from home were allowed. So, I'd be shocked it it opened up to books other than Dome.

    If other books are able to be signed, what's the best choice?

    Do you do something somewhat modern and limited like maybe the PS Colorado Kid books? Something old and 1st/1st Like a Dark Half or Cujo?
    Something new like Duma Key or JAS?
    Something SoD or SK Goes tot he Movies?

    I have never been to a signing and was wondering where you get the tickets and how to know when they go on sale. Will it be posted on the SK site? Are these tickets ones that if you are not online when they go on sale you will not get one?

    That is hard to answer in one post. The signings are sometimes announced by SK.com-sometimes, by the Charity Recipient, sometimes by the venue, etc
    Keep checking here.
    For this particular event, at this time, everything is scheduled just at book release (November 10, 2009) and on the Eastern area of the US.
    You can almost count on King appearing on The Today Show, or Good Morning America and or other East Coast morning shows, and thus being in NYC etc.

    I live in Kansas City, so I was hoping to get to the Minneapolis signing.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    The last East Coast signing (in Mass) was announced by the venue in advance and that tix would go on sale at a certain time. I called 3 minutes before, got a real person, but they wouldn't sell me the tickets. It then took me 2 1/2 hours to get through again and by then the premium tix were sold. I think the tix sold out in less than 2 days.

    When will they announce the venue's? A week or so before the signing? What are the different levels of tickets? You mentioned premium tics. Do people camp out the night before like for Iphones or does your ticket save your place in line?

    Thanks for the info.

    Depends on the event....the Massachusetts tickets went on sale in September I believe and it was a phone call thing. The event itself was November 6th, I believe.

    Other events in NYC and Greenwich CT have been camp outside the bookstore for 24+ hours in hopes of getting a bracelet with a signing number. Then you show up later that day if you have the bracelet and you get your book signed.
