Stampaway FAQs

I understand that there will be construction during Stampaway 2022. Will that be a problem?
Construction will have virtually no effect on the show itself, but it will effect portions of the parking lot. To accommodate, the Sharonville Convention Center has added three parking lots near the Convention Center.  << PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP >>

Can I bring a roller bag, a rolling suitcase or a stroller with me to Stampaway?
No. Roller bags, rolling suitcases and strollers will not be permited on the convention floor for safety and liability reasons. They will need to be checked in at the Coat Check room near the Main Lobby using our complimentary bag check-in service. 

Can I order my tickets by phone?
Beginning in 2020, all tickets sales are online only. 

Do I need to bring anything with me?
Each instructor will ask you to bring materials necessary for their class. Please refer to the class description for details.

Can I sign up for classes once I am at Stampaway?
Yes, but only if there are tickets available for the class(es) you would like to take. You are best to sign up for classes ahead of time on our website.

Can I buy admission tickets at the door?
Yes. You can buy admission tickets at the door the day of the convention.

What about the preview party? Can I buy those tickets at the door as well?
No. The Friday Night Preview Party tickets are pre-sale only.

Stampaway is a bit of a drive for me. Are there nearby hotels I can stay at?
Absolutely! We have made arrangements with the hotels closest to the Convention Center & they have given up special rates. Details can be found on the Location & Lodging page.

I lost my wrist band. Now what?
We record your wristband registration when you purchase it. As long as you have an ID, we will replace it.

How can I work at Stampaway?
Stampaway is a production of Royal Acme and is staffed by our employees. The exhibitors, however, may request workers for their booth, usually in July. Please sign up for our email newsletter to be in-the-know.

Can I bring my 'Stamping Case'?
Yes. It is recommended that you bring your 'stamping case' to each class. In the individual class descriptions, additional supplies are listed. Please remember that a scrapbooking case and a rolling suitcase are not the same thing. You will be asked to check a rolling suitcase at the coat check room during your visit.
