Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) November 10, 2014
After introducing the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular in early 2014, Fanatics Authentic plans to bring sports fans the biggest show of the year. On the weekend of November 21st, Fanatics Authentic is taking over the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago to give collectors and fans the chance to meet over 60 athletes at the experience of a lifetime.
From Friday, November 21st through Sunday, November 23rd, Chicago will play host to the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular and an incredible lineup of athletes that features headliners Jose Abreu, Yasiel Puig, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, and Scottie Pippen. With appearances by breakout stars and legends of the game, the Fanatics Authentic show brings together sports fans and athletes from across all major leagues, including the NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL. Big names like Ryne Sandberg, Reggie Jackson, Dominique Wilkins, and Mike Modano make the Fanatics Sports Spectacular a can’t miss event. The Chicago show is also offering a night of savings on Friday with its roll-back pricing that features “Today’s Players at Yesterday’s Prices." Instead of charging sports fans and collectors an athlete’s current signature price, Fanatics Authentic is selling autograph tickets for 15 athletes, including Chris Chelios and Johnny Bench, for its price in the early years of their careers. In addition to autograph signings and photo opportunities, the show set up a Box Break Pavilion, in which different companies will host live box breaks that sports fans can buy into and score big with rare trading cards.
Sports fans and collectors alike can attend the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular in Chicago with several ticket options at various price points. All weekend long, regular admission is just $10 for adults and $5 for children 10 and under, but free for ages 3 and under. Serious memorabilia collectors and die-hard sports fans can also purchase a VIP package at $99 for the ultimate experience, which includes early admission to access the show 30 minutes early each day, an express line bracelet to cut all autograph lines, two Darryl Talley autograph tickets for Saturday, one random autograph ticket for an athlete on the SuperStar lineup, and raffle tickets to win prizes. Autograph tickets for every athlete scheduled to attend are also available for purchase at assorted prices, as are vouchers for inscriptions and photo-ops, giving fans the unique chance to witness the creation of their very own piece of sports memorabilia. All sports collectibles signed at the Fanatics Authentic Chicago show are fully certified authentic and can be backed by the Fanatics Authentic tamper evident hologram sticker for a $10 fee per autograph.
The Chicago Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular in November will be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, which is located at 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont, Illinois 60018. Sports fans and collectors can pre-order admission tickets, autograph vouchers, and VIP packages at http://www.FanaticsAuthenticShows.com or purchase them at the show.
