FanFest autograph vouchers to go on sale Jan. 7

FanFest autograph vouchers will go on sale Saturday, Jan. 7 at 10 a.m. at www.orioles.com. A preview of the sessions will be available at the team Web site no later than 9 p.m. on Jan. 6 to allow fans to plan for the next morning's purchase. Details regarding the number of autograph vouchers available, the cost, and more will be announced shortly after Jan. 1 by the team. Just as last year, when the new autograph procedures debuted, all proceeds generated from the sale of autograph vouchers will be directed to the Orioles Charitable Foundation. Once again, a limited number of vouchers will be available for each autograph session, guaranteeing each fan who purchases a voucher for a particular session an autograph from each of the three to four players at the station. Advance purchase of autograph vouchers is the only way to guarantee an autograph. Any vouchers that are not sold in advance will be available for purchase the day of the event, but last year all vouchers sold out in advance, so fans are urged to purchase on Jan. 7 to avoid disappointment. Kids, of course, will still be able to get autographs for free. Children 4-14 will have a specially designated Kids Only player autograph station that is free of charge and will operate continuously throughout the day.
