The Orioles reserve the right to change or substitute individuals as necessary, but this is the current schedule.

Details on fan forums likely will be released at a later date.

The Orioles' autograph policy is designed to support youth charitable endeavors through OriolesREACH and enhance fan engagement with shorter wait times. Children 4-14 will have a specially designated kids-only player autograph station presented by Esskay that is free of charge and will operate continuously throughout the day. All other Esskay autograph stations at FanFest will require the advance purchase of autograph vouchers exclusively at www.orioles.com/fanfest for $20 each, with all of the proceeds to benefit children's charities through OriolesREACH. Since instituting the autograph policy in 2011, FanFest has raised more than $430,000 for the Orioles Charitable Foundation.

There will be 250 vouchers available for each Esskay autograph session, guaranteeing that every fan purchasing a voucher for a particular session will receive an autograph from each of the players at the station. Fans will be able to print their vouchers at home and must present them to the attendant at the appropriate autograph session, shortening the amount of wait time in autograph lines. Fans must be in line for their autograph session no later than 30 minutes after the session begins.

If vouchers are still available on the day of the event, they will be available for purchase at the Oriole Park box office or at the ticket sales location at FanFest. Autograph seekers are encouraged to purchase vouchers in advance, as sessions have sold out completely in recent years. There is a purchase limit of two autograph vouchers per person, per session time. Fans redeeming autograph vouchers must be four or older and may only redeem one voucher per person, per session time.

Update: Autograph vouchers sold out in an hour.
