The NYCFC offer an open invite to costumed fan groups to attend their event this September 16th. This is approved by Lucasfilm. The contact information and details for the event are attached. Please feel free to share this broadly with your clubs! *This game is limited to 5 fully costumed characters, they may allow more who are not fully covered, please check with the contact listed.
Directly below is what we send to the Teams regarding Open Invites for Fan Group participation at sports games:
All SW nights events with Major and Minor league teams, are now considered OPEN INVITES. This means we do not have to cast and teams do not have to pay performers. Teams cannot ask for specific characters or specific amounts, but can set a maximum limit based on accommodations. Open Invites are just that- an invitation to fan groups to show up at an event in costume. Teams cannot direct fan group members to do any activities or be anywhere specific at any specific time - they may provide the groups with a list of activities to self-organize and participate in, but it is at fan group members’ own discretion. We strongly prefer that characters not throw out first pitches, participate in puck drops, sing the National Anthem, or things of that nature – if they want, fan group members may escort a child or fan to the mound, etc., but must not be directed to do so. Characters should not hold, wear, sit in or stand on any branded item or logo, especially with a team emblem. The fan groups are welcome to be photographed with others wearing the team logo/brands or in front of signage featuring the team logo/brand , however. We strongly suggest that teams provide a handler/security for costumed fans during activities to ensure the safety and security of said costumed fans, to protect them from overzealous game attendees.
No need to respond to me, but please RSVP to the contact in the attached Invite if you and your members are interested! Spots fill up fast - not all fan groups will get to participate in events where there is a set limit, which are based on a teams’ bandwidth for accommodation.
Fan Groups included on this Invite: Empire City Garrison, Rebel Legion: Echo Base, Mandos: Falco Clan, Jedi Council, Saber Guild: Empire Saber Guild, R2 Builders: James M., Bobby O., Jon S., Richard C.
