Q: Are the characters available for private parties or birthday parties?
A: The goal of this program is to provide kids with an opportunity to experience a personal interaction with their favorite characters. We believe our characters should be available to all, and therefore, character events are limited to public appearances.
Q: How much does it cost to bring an Octonauts character to my town?
A: Costs for the Octonauts character appearance packages vary and are based on the appearance type, number of characters requested, number of days requested, etc. Please submit your appearance request online and we will provide a quote for your event that includes: on-site management, character talent, travel expenses and licensing fees.
Q: Can I just rent the costumes and provide my own person to wear it?
A: We provide the talent for each Octonauts character appearance. The reasons for this are three-fold – quality, ease and safety. Your guests expect a professional performance when they come to your event, and by providing trained, professional talent and management, we can guarantee that the expectations that you and your audience have will be met. We also want you to have an easy and pleasant experience bringing the Octonauts characters to your town. By providing assistance every step of the way – from booking to greeting your guests – we can ensure that an Octonauts Character Appearance will be positive and memorable. Lastly, all of our professionally-trained staff receive certified background checks because the safety of our guests is paramount.
Q: Can I sell tickets to the Octonauts character appearance?
A: The character program, by design, is meant to be an added attraction to an existing event or a standalone traffic-driver. For example, if you are presenting an Octonauts Character Meet & Greet as part of a larger event or festival, you may charge a gate fee to the overall event; however ticket fees may not be charged for the actual Octonauts Character Meet & Greet.
Q: Can sponsorships be sold for the Octonauts character appearance?
A: We fully understand the need to offset costs through sponsorships. Sponsorship of all or part of the appearance, whether it is a Character Meet & Greet or a Character Performance are encouraged, however there are limitations and product category exclusions. Any use of a character logo or image must be approved in writing prior to production of any materials. Sponsor signage may not be displayed on stage. All sponsorships must be approved in writing.
